If you don't mind me jumping in here I'd like to pose a couple thoughts and questions.
Some of you state that there is no evidence in nature of God. I assume you hold to the viewpoint that eventually science will have the explanation for the universes existence (and even further our own existence) or maybe you feel it already has been explained by the likes of Stephen Hawkings revelation, "because there is a law of gravity the universe can and will create itself". If that is true I'd like your opinions on the following:
1. The extreme fine-tuning of the universe in order for the possibility of human life in relation to the astronomically calculated odds of this happening by chance.
2. Why if you see your name written in the sand on the beach you can not fathom that the waves, rocks, sticks somehow worked in random fashion to scrawl your name but you automatically assume a person wrote it (intelligent being), but when you look at the longest word ever discovered, the human genome (3.5 billion letters in precise order) you assume random chance?
Thank you and look forward to the discussion.

We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.
