The same astronomical chances can be said for you being the sperm that found the egg. Of all the ancestors in human history, and all the times dudes nutted and didn't get your relatives pregnant, a perfect unbroken string reaches all the way back to your primordial parents. Everything had to line up EXACTLY perfect for you to be born, and for the internet to be created, and for me to actually be typing this message to you. Yet, here we are, through the odds, and still perfectly explainable through natural occurrences. A personal god isn't needed.


You realize you make my argument stronger with this statement, right? The astronomical chances for the 10,000 or so chemical reactions to successfully and completely happen during the 9 months of conception/pregnancy is outrageous. But in order for the universe to be created, and earth to have life, is an even greater statistical improbability. Its the equivalent (as stated in the article) of flipping a coin 10 quadrillion times and it landing on heads every time. And your supposedly reasonable and ration explanation is "ah, the wonders of random chance"?

If there's a chance of it, even quadtrillions of times, its STILL more probable than magic.


You're not taking into consideration all of the failed life that has arisen. All of the doomed stars and planets that have come and go for an infinite amount of time. Considering there was something before the BB almost 15 billion years ago, something we can't fathom, this "random chance" at life has been happening, and failing, every nanosecond. Every rain puddle or RNA protein shell has a potential for life. Just doesn't happen.

Life as we know it didn't get one shot at this. It has been trying to flourish since the dawn of time. Its evolution, and always trying to be better.

10 quadtrillion heads in a row doesn't need a god to happen. Magicians in the sky are a 0 percent chance.
