Thus it is just an artifact of the scale chosen, not an actual result. On top of that, humans still aren't at the center, as the planck scale is at 10^-36, whereas the universe is at 10^27 (humans are roughly 2x10^0). The only place we're actually at the center of is where the designer of the app chose to put the scroll bar's midpoint.
At conception, human beings are 1.2 X 10^-4 meters which is almost the exact midpoint. Logarithmic scales are often used to compare size. This scale wasn't created or selected just because it fits the result desired by a theistic argument. The little scale of the universe game wasn't created to support a theistic argument.
And an adult human has 100,000,000,000,000 cells - that's 14 orders of magnitude. That's a pretty large 'midpoint'.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
