How can some people even think Chance Accounts for the Universe?

Question

Life on earth was designed by a benevolent Creator rather than directed by blain chance.
First, consider the ideal temperatures on planet Earth-not duplicatedon any other know planet in the universe. If we were close to the sun, we would fry. If we were farther away, we would freeze.
Furthermore, ocean tides, which are caused by the grevitational pull of the moon, play a crucial role in our survival. If the moon were significantly larger, thereby having a stronger sravitational pull, devastating tidal waves would submerge large areas of land. If the moon were smaller, tidal motion would cease, and the ocean would stagnate and die.
Finally, consider plain old tap water. The solid state of most substances is denser than their liquidstate, but the opposite is true for water, which explains why ice floats rather than sinks. If water were like virtually any other liquid, it would freeze from the bottom up rather than from the top down, killing aquatic life, destroying the oxygen supply

From the temperatures to the tides and the tap water, and myriad other characteristics that we so easily take for granted, the earth is an unparalleled planetary masterpiece. It should never be carelessly dawned off as the result of blain evolutionary processes.

Answer 1

Amen
You have brought an old man to tears. Thank you for reminding me of how great our Creator is. Dear God Bless this person. You are wonderful! What a Post!!!

Jesus is Lord

Answer 2

Because it's much easier to believe that dumb particles exist uncaused than a super-intelligent entity capable of designing and creating entire universes.

Science shows us that great complexity does not just arise spontaneously. It is inconceivable that even the simplest bacterium could exist without something being responsible for the complexity of its structure, its biochemistry and so on. It would take the lifetimes of a billion universes for it to appear spontaneously, by pure chance - in fact it is probably safe to say that it simply could never happen.

This goes all the more for human beings. It's surely no coincidence that the only thing that we regard as truly intelligent - the human brain - is also the most complex thing in the known universe. Intelligence requires enormous complexity, far beyond anything that could conceivably exist without something being responsible for its existence.

By the same reasoning, it's infinitely more unlikely still that an intelligent entity capable of designing and creating an entire universe and everything in it could just exist from nowhere, from nothing, without anything being responsible for its existence.

Complexity, and especially the massive complexity required for intelligence, can therefore only arise from an antecedent, non-intelligent process - In the case of life on Earth, this means biological evolution.

So, to the extent that science allows us to reliably distinguish between plausible ideas and implausible ideas, it effectively rules out the possibility of an intelligent entity as the uncaused cause of everything that exists.

First of all it's not just some people. Second where do you get your definition of chance. it is obvious that you are a supporter of the "Boeing theory" You also fall for the earth's perfect position composition etc crap. If this planet taught us one thing it is that life is tenacious and does not need light oxygen gravity or any of the above to flourish. It flourishes in bedrock kilometers down. But I'm sure you also consider humans the epitome of evolution, sorry I meant creation.
If science was based on what you so ignorantly call chance you would not be sitting in front of a computer but probably in the dark. Water by the way is a dime a dozen in outer space and that is all that life needs. Our definition of life does not necessarily include humans. We will be ecstatic happy with a virus or a bacteria.

Answer 4

Well that depends on the definition of chance. Chance or luck, sometimes seen as coincidence, is exactly how the universe works...

Something which cannot be rationally explained is considered chance, but that doesnt mean chance is irrational. From what you've described,... there must be a system.

Some of us believe you can make your own luck,... taking the example from the Universe.

Answer 5

"Life on earth was designed by a benevolent Creator rather than directed by blain chance."


1. thanks for showing your ignorance by stating something as fact, something you could not possibly know as fact.

2. some day, let us know what blain is...

3. the plight of the bible-home-schooled: when your limited human brain cannot explain it, then the answer MUST be "God did it." VERY sad.


Wait. Did you actually use the word THINK in your question...as if that is something that believers in a cult do? Yikes!!

Answer 6

Are you still believing that we are alone in the universe?
Why would God created a universe with a lots of galaxy, blablah blah when he will only put us here on earth taking to account the billions of asteroids circulating near us...... What is he planned to do? Is he playing Hide and Seek?

Answer 7

This is called the anthropomorphic argument, and is an example of a logic error called post hoc. There are a billion trillion stars in the universe, and it is not terribly surprising that one of these turned out to have conditions suitable for life.

Answer 8

How is it possible to win the lottery twice in a row, or get a tie on Jeopardy?

Answer 9

when you find out tell me how the stars got there if a Creator didn't create them. It seems insane to think the stars just got there accidentally.

Answer 10

More like a malevolent creator.
