I've never understood the 'there's no way life was created by chance' argument. If you take all of time as represented by the Empire State building, the amount of time we've been here could be represented as a postage stamp in comparison. Earth, obviously, has the right conditions to support life. Why is it so hard to believe that time + right conditions = organisms that evolve and become ever more complex over that time.
If they'd never seen a car before then they'd deem an Audi A8 as being a creation of a higher power too. Or as whipp subtly frames it, 'outside influencers.'
The older I get the more I have a distaste for religion and the people who believe this crap. Why is it so important to them to believe that the earth was created FOR humankind? That the age of the earth is roughly the same as the age of human existence? Because they need to believe that earth was created just for us.. gods special little creation. I actually find great pleasure and comfort to believe that we're just the miracle of chance, time and biology and not some mystical omni-present being.
- because they were raised on it and the idea of a different reality from their own threatens their whole worldscarabin
- no one said their stories made any sense. egos.********
