No. Article is dumb because it doesn't factor in the sheer expanse of time compared to the relatively short window of time that a civilization is engaging in activities that we could detect from space.

WSJ makes their money by telling people what they already believe.

That is a terrible example often used by religious folks. That being said, how about those of us who believe in a deterministic universe?

Science proving God exists = the destruction of faith?

Nothing in evolution is random. Every adaptation was for a reason.

Life developed for a reason.

Doesn't have to be because of a creator.

It all had to start somewhere....someone had to create the first, well, whatever was first. Maybe a dust particle, maybe a man, maybe water, maybe a single atom, but someone or something had to create the first thing ever. Trips me out to think about.



But the rule doesn't apply for the something?

The better question would be "Who took him apart and threw the pieces on the beach?"
