Well, according to Dr. Hugh Ross, life on any planet like earth is going to be an extremely, hugemongously rare, twinkletoes rare thing and the universe has been able to produce an inhabitable by ‘intelligent seekers’ earth only in recent times, give or take a billion years or less. You might enjoy a trek through ‘reasontobelieve.org’ ... look for the 10/31/99 lecture under the radio and lecture category. Not many galaxies could sustain the changes necessary to reach our state of solar system on the periphery of a spiral arm and just above the plane enough to ‘see’ the rest of the scene. Until the mass of the universe became dispersed sufficiently, a solar system like ours couldn’t exist ‘quietly enough’ to raise intelligent life. Until the vast majority of elements like metals were fabricated via exploding stars, our level of life could not have been formed. ETC
That website is ‘reasons.org’ ... the interviews and lectures category is what you want. Lots of great listening material. ‘bethinking.org’ is another site with a science category that will entertain you and educate in the process.
Now, do you (still?) think it's taken a bit longer than 6,000 years for us to be where we are?
Pearls are rare but they are plentiful.
Consider 100 billion galaxies each with a 100 billion stars and each galaxy with trillion planets then a few million inhapitbale planets is to be expected.
Some people just don’t want to consider the possblites.
