It doesn't matter what particular people were born. I was born by 'chance'. If I weren't born someone else would ask the same question.
I'm not sure what the point is...?
About my earlier paragraph on discussing the circular argument that God created the universe. I believe my point is that if God didn't do it, then we are a product of natural processes, but if you consider the kinds of odds that would play out for that to happen, and you can get a feel for it too even though we cannot calculate the odds exactly. However,if it were natural processes then the kind of odds that would play out for existence to come into being then we can't really rule out the divinity of Jesus Christ.
I look at this problem as a statistician working for an insurance company or an actuary working for an insurance industry. Say for example somebody bought a life insurance policy for one million dollars and a week later one of his relatives reported that the person who bought the life insurance policy died in a fiery crash in Mexico and the body was cremated. The odds are way in the favor of viewing this insurance claim as suspicious to the point of I just doubt it. Yes, it can happen but I definitely would suspect fraud here which can threaten the solvency of the company.
Yes, we can't calculate the odds for existence to come to pass, but like I said we can get a feel for how totally astronomical it would have to be, leaving a lot to conjecture. For example 14 billion years ago a singularity blew up and started making hydrogen, helium and lithium for no apparent reason and 9 billion years later you get this solar nebula for the sun to form in and make the Earth with all the chemicals just right for life, that is astronomical it really is. Furthermore after another 600 million years a DNA molecule formed which was the common ancestor to everything with a DNA molecule and DNA kept replicating for 4 billion years without being totally wiped out by an asteroid or other disaster.
Also, you do have to wonder what was going on 15 billion years ago or a trillion years ago, answers to which we will never know, but you can have faith in the human condition. Religion is there if you need it. I do pray for you and all other nonbelievers may God forgive all of our confusion and judge us on how we lived our lives not what we happen to believe at the time of our death.
So what are your thoughts on this?
