I know this wasn't addressed to me, but as an atheist, I hope you don't mind my answering it as well:
Several atheists, like myself, haven't reached some sort of unassailable conclusion that God Does Not Exist. Instead, we simply feel that we haven't been presented with good enough reasons to believe in a god.

Now, most scientists, mathematicians and logicians will tell you that as their understanding of their own little peice of the universe grows that everything tends to work exactly as it should work. If we're living in a universe which is entirely random, unpredictable and uncontrolled why is it so perfect? |
I'm not sure that I'd agree that everything is "perfect," either in the universe or on earth. Actually, I tend to think that things are far from perfect. But anyways the idea of everything working "exactly as it should work"... by whose standards? What scientist knows how things "ought to be"? How do they know that?
The acceleration due to gravity on earth is ~9.8 m/s(s) right? Is that the perfect acceleration due to gravity? How so? If it were slightly different, would we somehow know that it was off? Or in that alternate reality, would we conclude that that was actually the perfect condition?
