The first thing that popped into my mind was would GOD be in the category of a stupendeously improbable theory? so until life is found elsewhere?
I have autism and ADHD, and yet even I don't change the subject with so many non-sequiturs, initially starting from theories on life on other planets, to discussing A BLOODY MAGICAL GOD, in one opening thread on the atheism board, as you just did.
If you want to talk about the Drake equation, the Fermi paradox, the Goldilocks principle, the Rare Earth hypothesis compared to its contrary principle of mediocrity/Copernican principle, then we're all ears.
Leave your magic man out of this, or start another more specific thread in the more appropriate sub-forum.
I'm not as smart as you or as well read by the look of all those topics you have listed so i can't tell if you've given me an answer or a smoke screen to hide the fact you haven't. I did wonder where to post it but in the end a discussion by 2 of the worlds best known athiests that may be giving a possible point for Theists to engage athiests with didn't seem totally out of place in this section of the forum. As i'm not a veteran of forum use if it isn't then I hope a moderator moves it.
If you have answered my questions then i missed it and would appreciate you simplifying it for me.
