Thread: Question for Atheists.

For every grain of sand on every beach on Earth, there are at least a million stars in the universe. Many of these are solar systems. And many of those (many being literal, not relatively, as the numbers would be relatively few) will have planets inhabited by life. Those are the statistics, and those are chance. And lastly, those are probably understatements.

Just going to cite some numbers off wikipedia.

The universe is about 8,678 x 10^23 km wide (that's 867 800 000 000 000 000 000 000 kilometres.) (disclaimer: this number is quite uncertain. The theories about the size of the universe rages from 13,7 billion light-years to 180 billion light-years... but doesn't really matter. There still isn't an adjective strong enough to describe how big it is.)

In this space, there is about 3-7 x 10^22 stars (30-70 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 / 30-70 sextillion stars), organized in about 80 000 000 000 galaxies.

Someone look at these numbers and tell me chance has nothing to do with it.

No problem

I'm just doing my duty to my profound distaste of flawed "logic".

...okay, I'm just going to sum up atheism very nicely here.

Spoiler for Click.:

Obviously, this is highly simplified, but yeah, that's the general gist of atheism. We aren't "giving up" or claiming to know everything; all we're saying is that we'd rather trust the dudes carrying out experiments and making observations about the universe instead of the guys interpreting a 2,000-year-old book. It is important to distinguish between rational thoughts with evidence and assertions, which thus far, hypnocella has yet to show he can do.

Okay first of all what's up with you guys and these girl avatars!

We're making the forums pretty. Sod off.
