I feel that there is a creator but I do not agree with this persons information. If the big bang theory is correct, couldn’t the super hot chemicals come together and form very strong metals?

…wow….god did not make earth, simple as day. Just so happens that most metals are heavy material, and due to gravity, sink to the bottom. Kinda like when a person pans for gold. The heat at the center of the earth would cause shaking, earthquakes, eruptions, ect, which shook the metal to the center of the earth. Wow!,wouldn’t ya know. Doesn’t take a genius to see that lol. Sorry if i’m being rude, just laying out to your friend or whoever

There are celestial bodies with more heavy metal content than the earth, and their are celestial bodies that have less… and then there’s Scarlett Johanssen but that’s a different topic.

We have observed other planets that are amazingly similar to our own, does this indicate the existence of God? No. Differentiation of elements throughout the universe indicate differentiation of cooling rates after the big bang (see red-shift for proofs of the big bang). Same thing happens in pockets of volcanic magma, as some elements cool first they form a solid mass of that particular element. As the other elements cool slower, they rise farther and are deposited separate of the main mass (thus gold veins, ruby deposits, etc.)

Well, if we can observe this process occurring naturally on the planet, and in the universe (see reaction star formation) what in this would indicate an unnatural power?

Maybe God exists, maybe not… but the concentration of heavy metals on our planet (which isn’t more or less than other known celestial bodies) doesn’t indicate anything except the natural differentiation of matter as exhibited in a cooling process. Just look at a lava-lamp, if the person who gave you the original argument was correct… then there’d be an equal distribution of ‘blob’ (wax) throughout the lamp. But this is observably not so, some sections are heating, expanding, and rising… others are cooling, contracting, and sinking. Thus pick 10 random points within that lamp and not all points will have the exact same concentration of wax.

If there was actual definitive proof of God, anywhere… you can bet your brass buttons it would be posted all over CNN.COM. As it is, you’ll find as many false peices of ‘evidence’ proving the existence of God as you will find false evidence proving that ‘the US engineered 9/11′ or that ‘aliens secretly control the Gov’t’.

There’s no logical objective substance to the argument … the only way we can objectively estimate the odds of anything happening is through observing what actually did happen. What actually happened is somehow the earth had these heavy metals. Realty is far stranger than fiction because fiction is a simple product of human mind and communication, and even fiction can get weirdly unreal sometimes.

But as “divine evidence” maybe it is for your friend. Perhaps he mentioned it because he thought it might be for you too.

One person I know made the assertion that the amount of heavy metals present in the earth indicates that there was a divine creator. He said that the accepted theory of the formation of the heavy metals on the earth ruled out the possibility of evolution as the explanation of life arising on the earth.

What do you know?
How are heavy metals linked to life?
He said that the odds of a planet having the necessary heavy metals was extremely low.

What are the strengths and weaknesses of his logic?
What are the merits and demerits of his arguments?
