The atheist credo: An universe by chance which also just happened to admit the observer by chance.
Well when you consider the odds of what follows a universe (which if you claim a designer has ALWAYS existed, is it inconceivable that the non-designed universe itself simply ALWAYS existed? Here's some balm for that cut by Occam's razor, BTW) either existing or coming into existence by whatever means, the emergence of an observer, or multiple observers, is practically inevitable. The number of planets per star, the number of stars, and all that, you will get some kind of life somewhere. We're not fucking special.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
