Quote:to be honest the more and more scientists learn the more convinced i am that god does exist look at the entire universe, galaxies and solar systems, planets and the enviroment here on earth. Things just seem a little too perfect to be random. (i can clarify this point if i need to it will just be long)

If these were objective statements based on factual observation rather than imposed conclusions of a subjective worldview, perhaps it would be remarkable.


But it is simply false to claim that “Things just seem a little too perfect to be random.” The illusion of a benign, odered universe is primarily an artifact of scale. We live in a profoundly violent and chaotic universe, but are spared direct experience with most of that chaos because it occurs on cosmic and geologic time scales, while we exist on a human time scale. This (luckily for us) means most of us expend our lifetimes in the brief moments of calm between supernovae, asteroid impact, and cometary bombardment. A perfect universe hardly requires mass extinctions via meteor impact. Remember Schumaker-Levy?
