The universe would have to evolve pretty much exactly as it did for 13.8 billion years in order to give me the chance to see through these eyes. As for what that God entails, I remain fairly faithless on the details. |
When you use the word God do you imply something sentient that created the universe or can it include something insentient.
The way I look at it is not yet but eventually science will be able explain how starting with the big bang how the laws of physics interacted with matter to eventually create chemistry then biology then life etc.
Anything before the big bang may be impossible to know or comprehend for the human brain. Whether you choose the starting point to be laws of physics and matter or some god that created that chose is largely irreverent to me. Can always ask what before God or before big bang so got to choose a starting point.
what I mean is in the above scenario there 2 options for using the word God
1) A God that started the universe but unnecessary after that point. Which I don't believe has much importance to anything.
2) If you want apply the word god to laws of physics fine but again that a word game and largely irreverent whether you call it god or physics.
My point is it not unlikely but probably quite likely given the laws of physics and amount of matter at start (big bang) that eventually planets would form that would support life and that life would form on those planets (probably multiple). The way stuff interact with each other is most defiantly not random.
I find the idea that a Sentient God existing and takes any interest in humans to be so extremely unlikely compare to the current state of universe forming naturally post big bang and a God that done nothing since the Big Bang to be irreverent that I fine calling my self a Atheist but I freely admit I have no clue what the universe was pre-big bang or if it even possible to ever know.
