For the love of God (lol) can you guys drop the "random chance" strawman?

Pick up a small rock; the probability of you taking each atom in that rock, placing it at a random location anywhere in the universe and obtaining that rock as it exists are functionally 0. So HALLELUJAH the rock is a miracle.

Trouble is lads, that matter and energy aren't governed by pure chance, things don't randomly arrange themselves.

They're governed by 4 fundamental forces which we've done not a bad job of describing, and each event that lead to the formation of what you see could be described (if you had a sufficiently large computer and enough paper to write it down) in terms of them.

There's nothing miraculous about life when its elements have an electrostatic affinity to each other.

And yet essentially the idea is that the earth came from nowhere, without any sort of divination. Technical terms will not cover up your assertion that a human being with a high level of intelligence and free thought came about from an explosion billions of years ago.


And the atom-sex thing I just kinda threw out there, I know that isn't the case, despite how hawt it is.

 

[Gay Captain]

your first mistake was taking the 'explosion' analogy they use to teach the idea of the big bang to highschoolers too literally


it's like

"human being appeared randomly out of nowhere"
"that's not true at all, science explains (mostly) where they came from"
"technical terms don't cover up the fact that human beings appeared randomly out of nowhere!"
