Do you believe in God? Simple question

Saying that we had to have been created based on the stupifying statistical chance that we evolved the way we did is a simple logical fallacy. You can't look at a chain of events, after that chain of events has occurred, and determine whether or not it was possible based on the statistical probability of repeating it.

As an example, let's say you roll a set of dice 10 times. Your result is 10,2,5,6,6,4,9,11,2,8. You don't question the probability that you just randomly rolled that sequence...because you DID. The only thing you can do is calculate the probability of recreating the result....which, is pretty much statistically impossible.

Logic would dictate that we evolved the way we did because of our environmental conditions, those conditions weren't necessarily created specifically for us to evolve in a specific manner. Who's to say if the earth were 10* colder, we wouldn't simply have evolved with a lower required body temperature?

Use your head "God" (lol) put it up there for a reason.

^^ you have no idea how many times I've tried explaining that reasoning to people. So many people just don't get it or maybe don't want to.

So the probabilty is against us... hrm... so why do people play the lottery? Because logic would dictate that the odds of winning is "impossible" as you put it but yet... we all know people win all the time. Just because the numbers don't quite "add up" does not mean it is statistically impossible. There is always that nth of a chance that you could win... and if you win, you win big.
