But chance can’t create anything. It’s a word that we use to describe or talk about probabilities. If I flip a coin the chances of it landing heads up if flipped (assuming it doesn’t land on its side) is 50%. But if it does land heads up, chance didn't "cause" it to flip, I did. "Chance" doesn't stand in casual relation to things.
“Chance” as the cause of the universe seems silly.
What do you guys think?
I think you are lying. I don't think you've actually heard an atheist say that. You might've heard Christians say that atheists say that, but not atheists themselves. All my time here, I've never heard this proposition form atheists, only Christians.
