Re: Some helpfull definitions.
As humans we are limited by our current knowledge and understanding of the age of the universe, and perhaps the age of our own planet. The earth may be much older than we believe at this time. There may have been catalysts for cell formation that we, as yet, know nothing about, or natural processes that we are yet to discover, there may be an intelligent designer, and there just as easily could be no intelligent designer?
As research and knowledge grow perhaps there will be some answers to these questions, about the origens of life and the origens of the universe itself.
If you believe in the theory of intelligent design, creationism or the big bang theory, you are always left with the questions of 'who or what made the intelligent designer or god', and 'where did the first matter involved with the big bang theory come from'?
Everything has to begin somewhere, but by the same logic, anything is possible. Hence, infinite potential.
