   Given all that, which is fantasy by the way, just how probable do you think it is that “something far, far more powerful and intelligent than humans, and with ultimate authority” would have done it all just so that it could monitor the lives of the sentient beings that came to exist on this one tiny infinitesimal speck in the huge space which is the universe some 13 billion years after it all began.

   The universe is 13.7 billion years old. There are more stars in it than there are grains of sand on all the beaches of this tiny insignificant speck we call Earth, which has only existed for 4.5 billion years. Modern Humans have been here for about 200,000 years. Given these facts, belief in a personal god is completely irrational.

   Thank you. I accept your total capitulation (which is what your completely meaningless response indicates).

   Based on the evidence so far presented, I have an hypothesis that your brain is incapable of understanding how the scientific method works. You could prove me wrong with a rational argument. Up for the challenge?

   You really don’t understand how science works do you! I put my faith in the scientific method, not in a hypothetical creator. When an hypothesis is proven wrong, it advances our knowledge and produces a new hypothesis. As the evidence builds up the hypothesis evolves (a deliberate choice of terminology) into a theory. There is no evidence at all for your imaginary sky fairy.

   But what if our big bang was the result of the previous universe collapsing back in on itself in a “big crunch”. This is a hypothesis that has been proposed and which could be tested with better measuring devices. This leads to the concept that time itself is infinite and a “creation event” never happened. No “creation” – no “creator”.

   Everything you have described can be explained by natural processes without any need for a supernatural agent. There is also a lot of ugliness and weirdness in nature. Think of the zombie ant fungus Ophiocordyceps unilateralis as just one example. You say “have you or any family member or friend, had any close calls while driving, any near accidents, of any kind and you came out with little to no injuries. That is GOD watching over you”. Does that mean that when good people die in car accidents your supernatural entity was taking a nap? We have learned a lot about this world and the universe it is part of in the last 3000 years. We now know that the universe is 13.7 billion years old and that there are more stars in it than there are grains of sand on all the beaches of this tiny insignificant speck we call Earth, which has only existed for 4.5 billion years. Modern Humans have been here for about 200,000 years. Given these facts, belief in a personal god is completely irrational.

    Sorry Rat. The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine goes to the two scientists who developed the technology that led to the mRNA Covid vaccines. Now watch the anti-vaxers heads’ explode.
