More 'Naturalism of the Gaps', more big, big universe stuff so there has to be something alive; no evidence but it just has to be; and think about all those meta-physical speculations of multiverses that would negate the universe's fine-tuning parameters that we actually know exist. God's invisible qualities of eternal power and divine nature have been clearly seen, understood from what has been made, so there aren't any atheist. Why they say they are is that God places demands on morality.(April 24, 2016 at 7:00 pm)snowtracks Wrote: It's the only place known that has information; therefore, it's the center of the universe. No need to restate the big numbers stellar 'things' again. Atheist are stuck on neanderthal grunt level thinking, like 'me see big rock, me throw big rock, big rock smashing'.
That really says a whole lot of nothing, snowtracks. We've barely begun to explore space. If other complex lifeforms exist, we may simply not have contacted each other given the vast distances involved and the sheer number of other stars. Saying it's the only known place makes it a big non sequitur. What we currently know has zip impact on any truth to the idea that the earth is the center of our universe. It is the center of the known universe. That and $6 will get you a cup of coffee at Starbuck's.
Atheist Credo: An universe by chance that also just happened to admit the observer by chance.
