<<But given the almost infinite size of the Universe and the almost infinite nature of universal time, it's statistically likely that life would evolve on many planets to the extent that life forms would apprehend the nature of creation, and feel the urge to praise God.>> Well I agree with the part that from a statistic point of view life would evolve [indeed has ] on many planets.I have always wondered though about the odds of intelligent life doing so. My point about the dinosaurs extinction is that with out this event there is no intelligent life on earth...What are the odds of this event which allows the otherwise inferior mammals to flourish? .....I don't have a clue...As far as the "urge to praise God" this itself may [ or may not] be an evolutionary adaptation. Primitive cultures may have co-operated better had they had this urge in common. After all most religious rules are indeed a benefit to the group.
