To the audience here... What evidence do you see in your universe to suggest a God?
I'm not stupid enough to admit there's not some evidence that could point to intelligence in creation:-
- The perfection of gravity, without which nothing would be here.
- The perfection of the atom, again, without which nothing would be here.
- The fact the earth is in the 'Goldilocks Zone'. Not too hot and not too cold.
- The fact we have Jupiter, a huge shield in the solar system to hoover up rogue asteroids and comets.
- The fact we have a moon to move our oceans, and act as a shield.
- The fact we have a magnetic field, without which life would be irradiated.
- And even subtle things like ice being lighter than water. I suspect that could have made a huge difference to life here on earth.
The list goes on and on... But in the cold light of day, these are all explainable simply by two premises:-
- There's a billion billion billion chances for a planet like Earth in the Universe. The odds are hugely in favour of
us being here (
somewhere)
- How many times before (or indeed now) have other Universes existed where the laws of physics haven't quite worked such that life could exist.
I suspect countless civilizations across the Universe have, and will, ponder the exact same questions... Many will assume (at some point) intelligent design to explain their existance too...
And finally what is more likely of course, random Universes popping out of nothing, or indeed a religious all seeing and knowing deity popping out of nothing, driven (for some odd reason) to play some odd religious game, creating life solely to make it take a test, sending billions to eternal pain and damnation?
