If god were real, why should he care more about us than a worm? Humans are gaining knowledge exponentially, yet we know nothing, compare us to people of a hundred or 200 years ago, they thought they were smart and advanced, they weren't, neither are we. Any true cosmic intelligence would be as mysterious to us, as we are to a microbe.
Love Penn, not a surprise that he's also a libertarian. I don't think he's really atheist though, he's more agnostic like me, which means nobody knows for sure anything and anyone that thinks they do is full of shit.
Pretty silly to believe that we (life & the universe) just magically poofed into being, out of ... nothing - despite no scientifically factual evidence, no thanks.
Every day I try to wrap my mind around how atheists can believe that everything on earth, and the whole universe, just evolved from ... nothing - and it continues to be the most asinine thing I've ever heard of.
mnmike isn't making any sense with his comments.
i have no problem with mnmike believing that God (if real) wouldn't value anything on Earth.
my question to mnmike is - since he's certain of that, what then are the things that God would care about if God were real?
mnmike, can you simply list some things without talking in abstract?
I think even if God exists that God's point of view would be so different that we could not relate to it in anyway.
This might be nonsense to some but a while back when I tried DMT, it completely changes the way you view the world where you're on it. Everything seemed beautiful. You can think of the biggest atrocities committed by humanity but my attitude towards it was different. Everything seemed like part of a bigger picture and you can see the "God" inside everyone.
I'd like to think that maybe if there is a God this is how it views things.

We live in a solar system that orbits a sun that is one of 300 billion stars in our galaxy. Our galaxy is one of an estimated 170 billion other galaxies with hundreds of billions of stars each. The lower limit in an estimate on the number of planets in our galaxy alone is 150 billion. Multiply that by the estimated number of galaxies.....
...and Christians think that God made it all for them. That, my friends, is the definition of arrogance.
It depends.
Not all Christians think that way.
Thats kind of like saying all Muslims like to hijack plane's and crash into tall buildings.
That brush you are brushing with is painting quite broadly tonight.
