I've got a degree in maths, thank you very much. First class with honours, overall 97%.
There is no "God" variable in mathematics. You are making up explanations. Or rather, parroting flawed argument from people who don't know what they are talking about. I've heard this shit many times before. There are so many planets in the universe that it's not the least bit surprising that at least one of them happened to support some form of life. There's a nonzero probability of it, we know this because it has happened. What we do not know, or have any evidence for, is a magical wavy hand of Morgan Freeman fucking around with some mud and making people out of it. That is a fantasy explanation, flatly contradicted by all real science.
Science does not claim absolute certainty, because it is honest, and it seeks to improve given new data. It doesn't claim to know everything, because again it is honest and this is a ridiculous claim to make. But just because it doesn't know everything, that lends no credibility at all to fairy tale explanations with absolutely no evidence behind them.
Maths dude out.
