Makes perfect sense to me; why would God give empty planets with no human life, or any other kind of life, the perfect atmosphere he gave earth to substain life?

God did no such thing. The earth's atmosphere was originally very toxic for most multi-cellular life forms.

It was only after a couple of billion years of photosynthesis by certain single-celled organisms that the earth's atmosphere became capable of sustaining more advanced life.

You should thank your lucky cyanobacteria for that. :-)

No I thank God for creating photosynthesis And making the color of the Sun Red. If the Sun were much redder, or on the other hand much bluer, photosynthesis would be impeded and interfere with the natural biochemical processes crucial to life on earth.

Again, stunning proof of a deliberate design by a creator.

Yeah, right...More misinformation...Our sun is not red...Our sun is a G2 class yellow dwarf, one of an incredible number in the universe, but there is no reason that a stars of another spectrum cannot support life.

Considering that there are over 200 billion stars in our galaxy (The milky way) and there are billions of galaxys in the universe, what makes you think that earth would be the only one with intelligent life?

The color of the sun is not red. It is in the yellow part of the spectrum. Stunning proof that you are completely clueless.

Well I call it Red, it can appear yellow, but actually the color of the sun, if you just need to get technical, is white; it just appears to have a yellowish tint to it as we look at it from earth. It can appear read at times. It can appear many colors if only looked at from earth, but in space, the Sun is white.

No sir, you are wrong. Spectrographically, the sun is in the yellow part of the spectrum. That is why it is classified as a G2 yellow dwarf. It's many different colors as seen from Earth is due to our atmosphere (i.e., at sunset it appears red because its light is travelling though a lot more atmosphere/dust than when it is high in the sky). So you can call it whatever you desire, but your opinion is irrelevant to the facts.

Here is a close up image I took of the sun recently:

Yellow, dude.

Yellow, dude.

Yellow if looked at from earth, white if looked at in space. Now which angle do you think reveals its true color?

Its spectrum makes no difference whatsoever whether it is observed from Earth or from Space. It is a G2 yellow dwarf. End of story. I've been an amateur astronomer for over 40 years. Do you really want to argue this point?

I think originally Mickiel was trying to say that a star has to be in the red end of the spectrum to support life before he started side tracking. He is wrong, but will never admit it.
