| padib said: 1. I didn't say 1 chance in infinity. I said 1 chance in infinity for all suits and purposes, basically a number that will make your mind explode. So, the best explanation I was given was multiverses, or that: even if it's just 1 chance in a bazillion, it's still 1 chance. 2. That's what takes the most faith than any explanation that involves God, because that one at least makes sense with the world we live in, that anything which exhudes intent comes from an intelligent agent. 3. Not only that, but it solves the question of "where did the laws that govern our universe originate"? |
1. Similarly, the number of Earthlike planets in our galaxy multiplied by the number of galaxies in the observable universe, added to the potential number of galaxies in the unobservable universies, added to all the time we can't observe, added to the potential other galaxies would likely make your head explode as well.
The thing is, you literally cannot put a number on the possible number of universes that do exist and have existed and may exist in the future.
If the odds are 1 chance in 1 bazillion, and we can show that there have been much more than 1 bazillion opportunities, then nothing is unlikely about there being at least 1 chance to come into fruition.
2. The word we live in does not imply that intelligent things come from intelligent agents. The only thing you've been able to show with your designer examples is that man-made objects are created from man. But that proves nothing. In order to deviate from that very limited scope, you have to assume other objects were created by the "creator", but that would be circular logic.
3. There need not be an origin for them if they exist outside our universe
