Believers don't believe
#25
RE: Believers don't believe
I think that we should all tackle one of the points raised here and see where we get..

I'm going with this one.

Quote:That's fine, you can believe I'm delusional. But what does that say about someone like you that believes everything happened by chance? You have better odds at hitting the State Powerball Lottery 50,000 times back to back.

I presume here that we are talking about the origin of life and the chance that random chemicals could somehow arrange themselves into living, self replicating organisms.

Well, Given that there are at least 10^21 stars in the universe and probably 10 times the number of planets then I would say that the chances of life appearing are far, far greater than winning the lottery 50,000 in a trot. What I think you fail to grasp here is the sheer scale of the Universe and not only that but the unimaginable length of time that 'chance' has to work across this immense platform.

When you begin to understand that then life popping up all over the place by chance alone makes perfect sense.
