You Are Not Here By Chance by teechudleyy(f): 5:46pm On Sep 20, 2016
In the absence of the 'spiritual' evidence of God's existence, some Christians fall back on the logical evidence.
The logical evidence is the orderly complexity of both the earth and life. Chance cannot create something so wonderfully complex as the human body with all its functionally and structurally distinct parts all working harmoniously together. U may see urself as just one individual but u are basically trillions of cells. Trillion of cells harmoniously playing the sweet but complicated melody called life.
And then we have other forms of life(animals, plants, fungi, bacteria and ?? viruses) playing various roles in creating a balance in our earth's eco-system so that life can be sustainable.
And the properties of the earth itself permits life. And there's the Sun providing us with an almost unlimited supply of energy and it's positioned not too close to fry us and not too further away to leave us in the cold. Let's not forget the forces (gravitational, electromagnetic, etc) that we utilize to our own advantage in order to make life easier.
Attributing all these and more to happenstance doesn't quite sound logical right? The probability of life and the earth occurring by chance is so infinitesimal that it can't be quantified. It just had to be arranged by some supernatural being.
Atheists can goan argue with the Higgs boson jare. God wins (pun intended).
But wait a minute... Do not underestimate the power of chance especially if u don't understand it.
If 367 people are in a room, what are the chances of 2 people sharing the same birthday? 100 percent right? Correct.
Now if 70 people are in a room what are the chances of 2 people sharing the same birthday? That's a bit tricky, but surely the answer won't be up to 90% right? It won't be up to 60% sef. Let's say around the figure of 40%.
Well if I succeeded in predicting ur thought pattern in solving this problem, then u are wrong. The answer is a whooping 99.9 percent.
The probability of 2 people out of 70 sharing a birthday together is 99.9 percent. That has got to be outrageous. How was such an answer arrived at?
Google Birthday Problem and u'll understand why.
If u suck at Math, I'm sorry for... U.
I brought up that birthday problem to make u see that ur understanding of the workings of probability may be flawed.
When provided with an infinite amount of time and space, the probability of something as spectacular as life occurring in the universe is very high.
And what is the Universe? The universe is basically time, space and it's contents.
According to science, the universe is 13 billion years old and it's about 90 billion light years in size. It also keeps expanding at an increasing rate. Don't ask me where it's expanding to, I'm not Stephen Hawkings.
The earth was formed 4.5 billion years ago and life began on it about 4.1 billion years ago. In order to make u appreciate how humongous these figures are, remember that Jesus died just over 2000 yrs ago.
And a lot has changed in 2000 yrs not to mention a million years.
Time and space are the substrates on which events occur. And the universe provides both in abundance.
So what I'm saying is that, based on probability, it was only a matter of time for life to occur and then evolve to what it is today.
Still not convincing ba?
Ok... Let's take ur existence for an example. Let's calculate the probability of u coming into being.
Sperm cell + Oocyte = You
Normally there are over 100 million sperm cells in a ml of semen. An ejaculate is more than 1 ml. And God knows how many rounds daddy went.
So out of at about half a billion spermatozoa that were capable of fertilizing the ovum, the spermatozoon that made u who u are succeeded. Did that spermatozoon have two heads? Lol.
An adolescent female has about 40,000 Oocytes of which about 400 would be expelled over the course of her lifetime during ovulation. U had to be one of those 400 Oocytes. And u had to be expelled when daddy was ready. And don't forget daddy may have had other gal friends. And then we have contraceptives and ectopic pregnancies etc.
So the probability of u coming into existence was too infinitesimal to be quantified, just like that of the Earth and life as we know it. But here u are!
But despite all these u can still choose to see divinity at work. It's all about perspective.
Good afternoon.

The issue of a starting life is enormous... Every thing is made of matter and Lord Ruthford said the atomic structure of a single atom in a molecule of a substance that makes up matter is like a solar system; the electrons orbitin around the nucleus like planets around the sun... Could it be that there are solar systems inside of us? Science has been unable to go deep into studying force that binds neutrons and protons they have been unable to dig deep into the electron or know it for what it truely is...

Science could even be wrong about the earth's age who knows.
God's existence is beyond our scope but science dosent want to stop search even though it will forever be fruitless.
About atheist, i think u dont really need to bother about them because majority are just ignorant while other know the truth but refuse to accept it. As an atheist why even bother argue about what u dont believe in. Make dem dey decieve their self

I also wonder why science would conclude that life started from water, or some conclude in riddiculous ways. The human body for example is a highly complicated structure and beyond human understandin of how GOD made it out of dust
