Modern sensibility, science, and navigating echo chambers..

Other

I'm wondering why there may be a double standard for easier and aged religious views to be criticized and showcased for its blatant double standards and ridiculousness, but scientific talk about modern takes on creationism isnt mentioned much, and equally attacked by organized religion as well..

One may wonder why protobacteria and archaea were global controls to help stabilize the atmospheric temperatures and pressure, and things like pseudomonas, a living soil- borne bacteria becoming responsible for crystalization of water molecules that make rain carrying cloud formations. The moon in perfect tidal orbit that also perfectly aligned with the sun which is much further to create a solar and lunar eclipse, just seems a little 'ridiculously' improbable. Tie that together with magnetic poles that keep us on a steady cyclic planetary pattern of weather and temps just perfect for a godlylock explosion of life.

What is your reasoning that you believe something as complicated as DNA which looks to be programmed quad-binary code that subconsciously tells the billions of cellular-life forms that make you up and conduct incredibly complex chemical processes our bodies use to operate a consciousness- is just a byproduct of 'nature'?

What does an theist or athirst exactly believe nature to be? if it's not a creation, if it just an 'existence', why would the nature of nature be essentially a microbe-controlled creation to support more complex forms of life?

What is an Atheists input on modern takes of old religion, such as sun worshipping? People would say there is no science to support it, but how would one go about measuring a type of cosmic consciousness? especially if we ever learned the earth itself maybe an organism in some way.

Lastly I'd like to know what people think about the shared experiences of a lot of NDE's, many of which bring heavy spiritual and religious context. Strikingly many across the religious spectrum all seem to include some kind of Spirit guide, life review, and being rejoined by the deceased in a beautiful accepting way, and instant understanding of many things that could not be achieved in our regular day-to-day.

What could religious beliefs look like in a modern era that would make sense to you, if you have a problem with mainstream organized religion?
