You know how big an atom is right? Smallest thing in the universe? If you were to make a timeline from the moment the big bang happend up until the point where the universe seases to exist, our entire lifespan (the millions of years we have been around and the millions of years we will be around until the sun explodes) would not even be visible on that timeline. Our entire period of existance would be smaller than an atom in the grand sceme of things.
Why do we exist? Pure coincidence. A fluke. Because somewhere along the way a completely random series of events formed earth at a position in space exactly far enough from the sun not to scorch the surface and close enough for it not to freeze water. Water = life (very roughly speaking). And here we are.
And with an explaination like that I understand people want to seek comfort in the idea of a god. Because the idea of being as unimportant as the dirt under my shoes is pretty depressing. But that's life.
Anyway I think I went a bit off-topic. What were we talking about again?
