I watched a short video about a person talking about how there are trillions of galaxies in the Universe and how that relates to the potential for life on other planets. They seemed to say that life on other planets is almost all but assured. So I started to ponder about that and what might make Humans unique in general.
Some of my first lines of thinking were thinking about a deck of cards and the odds of randomly shuffling them into the same order again. The number is pretty astronomical, you should look it up. And that is just a deck of cards, nowhere near as close to the complexities that make life on Earth possible. So, I mean there is still a chance we may be the only planet with life on it.
But what if there is life on other planets? Which then I get to thinking about the complexities of Human consciousness and how that relates to my religious beliefs. Where I really started to hone in on is our Human capacity to be evil. I’m not really convinced that animals are capable of being evil. I believe they have souls, but I’m not sure I believe that their souls are up for the taking.
I believe what makes Humans particularly unique in our existence is our capacity to be evil. This is what I believe makes us bait for the Devil. His potential to control us or to take our souls. Which makes Earth a very important place in the Universe. There is certainly still a high percentage chance that we may be the only beings in the Universe capable of being evil when you think about the probabilities.
Some things to think about anyways…
