And everything in the ecosystem does a certain job to keep it running? there are so many cosmological facts in the world to support that there is a God that you would have to be either stupid, or lazy to just say "i don't believe someone put all of this here." How do you think that all of the chemical reactions going off in your body right now and your blood flowing and your brain allowing you to read this is nothing short of a miracle? I'm just saying that there are too many things that couldnt have just "randomly happened" for there to NOT be a God. |
Hold up.
Why MUST there be something other than this??? Seriously, why must there be?? How can you state that something exists without proving it?? This, "well, it would sort of make sense if...." nonsense is fucking retarded.
Also, you're wrong about athiesm being a cop out. If anythingm, religion is a cop out for the hard truth that the universe if fundamentally ambivalent about you.
Truth is, you don't matter. At all. You can be the best person in the world, or the worst person, and it doesn't really matter in the long run. The universe as a whole won't end up better or worse for it. Everybody you killed, or everybody you saved is going to die anyway, and people are going to forget your name. Less than 100 years ago the biggest celebrity in America was Aimee Semple McPherson. Does a single person here know who she is other than me?? No. In a thousand years, will it really fucking matter what she did or didn't do? Would it even matter if she existed or not?? What about Newton? In a billion years will the universe give a fuck if he did or did not ever exist??
In a hundred years. In a thousand years. In a million years, nobody is going to know who you were or give a motherfuck what you did. At heart you or I don't matter. That's the cop out of religion.
The "Goldilocks" zone for planetary habitation, (earth-like planets) probably contains millions, if not billions of planets.
And just because something happens doesn't imply god.
