Additional Thoughts
Something new has recently occured to me. During a religious debate someone brought up the argument that everything must have been created by God because random chance couldn't have produced it (this is a fairly standard argument from the religious side).
My counter argument was that random chance would HAVE to produce SOMETHING. Why, in particular, is what actually resulted significant? Allow me to reitterate: why is the current state of our world/species/universe significant? Given all the variables that have led to our current state how is it possible to reject the idea of random chance? Even if all of these variables are random it still stands that something other than nothing would result (go ahead, just try making the case that "nothing" would result). Why is what actually happened so important and so OBVIOUSLY the result of God?
Answer: PHA Bwa!
Humans are simply too arrogant to believe that we are the result of chance. Don't look at the world as something 'created' just for us; it wasn't. We are merely a part of it.
