If you are done with the laughing, I will repeat my question for the third time. How is the size of the universe proof for God's existence or not?

As a proof that gods don't exist, it would be lame.
As a rebuttal, it is a slam dunk.

Quote:The size of the universe doesn't say one way or the other whether or not any gods exist, it does however beg the question: if humans are the focus of your creation, why design a universe in which humans are so situated as to appear to be utterly insignificant?
Why was posting memes that I thought answered the question construed as laughing?
wiploc and Ape posted excellent answers. I agree with them.
Earth is insignificant even within our own solar system. There are literally billions of galaxies. And yet many people actually believe that god created the entire universe 6000 years ago, to house his pet humans. The vastness of the universe seems (to me) to refute the concept of god that I knew as a child: as a sky-father who knew every thought in your head and freaked out when you said "god damn". I have come to the point where I also believe that a deity is very unlikely to exist. And that's where I am.
