You keep ignoring the fact that the chances of there being life, an intelligent life is literally impossible if you go by using your common mathematical equations. Ask any man who is well equipped in the concept of math and science, what are the chances of there being life here and the number will frighten you.
Small chance =/= impossible
As evidenced by our very conversation.

What an awfully totalitarian world you must live in, with the big brother eavesdropping and watching your every move. I find it extremely comforting to know that it's bullshit, though it took me quite a lot of time to recover from the sensation that someone is spying on my thoughts. It was truly horrible and I don't wish that on anyone. It's a man-made concept designed to control the gullible with fear, nothing else.

If that's the only reason you doubted the existence of an omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient, disembodied mind that created the entirety of the universe yet is deeply concerned about what a single human individual does with his genitals, you haven't examined the claims made by your religion very thoroughly.

Oh, I just never get tired of hearing this one.
Good things happen = you should praise the lord
Bad things happen = it's your own fault/satan did it
Lovely.
Tell me, is the god omnipotent? According to your religion, yes. This means he has the power to prevent anything from happening, no?
Is he omniscient? Again, your religion says so. This means he knows about everything that is happening, right?
Is he benevolent? This one is stressed a lot by christers. Apparently he loves us all and has our best interest at hand, correct?
If he is omnipotent and omniscient, he cannot be benevolent, because he does nothing to prevent the human suffering.
If he is omnipotent and benevolent, he is not omniscient, because he does not appear know about the human suffering.
If he is omniscient and benevolent, he is not omnipotent, because he does nothing to prevent the human suffering.
