re: This is why I just can't believe we're only here by chance

That's actually not hard for me to comprehend.

The hard part is comprehending how everything works in balance so perfectly. How the earth managed to be perfectly in orbit at the right spot to sustain life, how the earth repairs itself, how the living organisms live in a never ending cycle of balance. How Humans somehow are superior to all other animals...our emotions, thought processes, everything. It's all so divine that the odds of such things being created by chance are so great one can't possible comprehend that it could happen.

Sure we can do a scientific experiment, causing the right matter to react with one another in a chemical reaction and a simple life form can result of it. But that doesn't prove anything...because if that life form were to evolve into a complex life form capable of thought processes, then we would be it's Creator, it didn't happen by chance.

There is a Creator. We may not have all the answers, hell every religion could technically be wrong, but I damn sure don't believe we came into existence by chance. Even if the Big Bang Theory were correct, you still have to ask "how did the matter get there in the first place". We will likely never know, at least not until maybe after we die if there is in fact an afterlife.
