That's a pretty good video Bert its well done, and I agree with every thing you said. What makes you think "My personal guess is that the Universe is teeming with life" I also guess its true as well, but only if life was somehow included in the big bang and the formation of the universe. I'm not saying some #### did it but I feel there has to be some type of thing that drives it. Why is it ok for the big bang theory to be questioned all the time, we are looking for new particles, dark matter and dark energy and so on. Its alive with science, new views, new findings to me this is science. now switch to evolution theory why must you not question it? by default any view that goes against the current held view is frown upon and rejected, and if any scientist, researcher, student tries to question it, they are committing career suicide.
I know evolution dose not take into account how life started. For me this works for the big bang and the universe, but not for life, Mars cant marry Venus and have little planets. If signs of life are found on Mars then the origin of life must be answered. if life can form and evolve here on Earth and then do the same on Mars for me this is anything but a random freak of nature event. life to me is not random and is not a by product of the universe but a major player in it. I'm not saying this is the golden rule for everyone and want them to agree with me, this is my view.
I have read science books about the subject and have read Dawkins books. I have read books from evolution/natural selection fanboys and also the haters that question it and I can see valid points both sides make. For me Dawkins type of view is closed to any questioning of his view of evolution. If you question it you are labelled a, well if you read his books you will know the names. I don't question evolution as not being true it may well be that its is all true. Lots of people say its rock solid, but a lot also say something is not quite right with the theory. Also the point about molecular biology is also interesting, the way we can change and shape DNA and do Gene splicing and design new organisms like glowing mice just like we are writing a computer program for me shows there is more to life then strict Darwinian evolution tells us.
like Colin said "These same questions have been asked by humans for thousands of years. And for thousands of years academics (from both camps) have been trying to answer those same questions." we are all looking for a answer, well the ones doing the looking are, most don't care and never will. But I want to know I wish I could find comfort in "very simple, elegant theory that has withstood (and indeed been strengthened by) the huge advances that have been made in our knowledge of molecular biology" but I cant no matter how much I read, watch, listen and get ridiculed (not that that worries me) find it true. That "random" in the theory to me doesn't seem right to me know matter how I look at the views that support it and to agree with it would be a lie to myself, will we ever know? one thing for sure if signs of life are found on Mars, I wont be the only one questioning all the different theory holders some tough questions about life, as the man said this is "Earth shattering news" and we should question everything.
