I still havent made my mind regarding God, but your arguments do not convince me the other way.<br />1- If there is a creator, he would of course know that humans will aquire knowledge and advance greatly in science. He would know that we will be able to go on the moon and theorize about where we came from or how the universe was created... He would know about our future development. Where do you see humanity in a 500, 10000, 100,000, a million years from here advancing in science at the same rate as now?? So, put yourself in his shoes, would you create the universe in a box just to fit one planet or would you make it so vast and so far reaching, that it always seem beyond reach and be an example of his might? So your argument really works in favor of God. <br />2- Again, point 1 covers this issue as well. God would know what level of science advancement we would have and would know that we will ask questions and theorize about where we come from. <br />3- If it was just one incident, your argument could be valid, but the problem is that there are just too many incidents that happened to arrive to where we are now. I won´t go into details, but having our planet formed, cooled down, creating an atmosphere, having water, having first cell created (??), developing from mono-cell to muti-cell organism to all the variety of creatures we have, having one specy become self aware....There are just too many incidents. I haven´t done the maths, but I am sure that if you do a mathematic model factoring the likelihood of every scenario, and you add them up, you will need a much older and bigger universe. <br />4- point 3 answers to 4. In addition, our current knowledge and theories start from the bigbang to the creation of life. What you seem to forget is that there are rules guiding every step of this process (gravity for example). Where does these rules come from? <br />Sorry, I got go as the inter shop is closing. I hope I can finish this later on.

Are you really suggesting that God suffers from back-ache because of the poorly designed backbone more suitable for moving around on four legs? Or that his wisdom teeth occasionally give him trouble? Or that he has a useless appendix...just like the poor deluded souls who made him up in the first place? <br />We made God in our image.
