In my opinion, our universe is way too organized to be a happy accident. I mean, the fact that anything exists instead of just... nothing? That’s suspicious, is it not? The laws of physics are so precise it’s like someone carefully adjusted the cosmic thermostat. And don’t even get me started on how rare life is—sure, there are millions of planets, but most are just cold rocks or giant fireballs. If gravity or the cosmological constant were even a smidge off, we'd be toast (or never exist at all). Plus, things like consciousness and human morality don’t exactly scream “random chemical reactions.” Bottom line? The universe looks way too planned to be a fluke—seems like someone with a serious design game is behind it all.

One current theory is an endless cycle of big bang, expansion,collapse, big bang,.... Works for me, can't find headspace for any deity.

I think religion needs god / gods but god doesn't need religion.

I think believers are banking on an afterlife. God or no God, there's no afterlife. If it helps them get by in the meantime so be it.

The bigger the universe, the more awesome & ineffable is God - surely ?

That piece by Carl Sagan should be sent to donald trump every day.

Just checked the OP link. Can't see anything that either confirms or denies the existence of a deity.

Somehow, I don't think the correct answers will be found on AB.

The size of the universe is no indicator either way as to the existence of God. One only has to look at what happens here on Earth.

You could have just ended the question after the word God.

[Deskdiary]

The very premise of there being a god is just so fantastically absurd that I too scratch my head as to how people believe in the nonsense.

[tomus42]

I think alot of people can't cope with things just being what they are and the randomness and injustice of it all.

They need there to be a reason, meaning, or grand plan behind it all. Someone controlling things behind the scenes. It's the same mentality as conspiracy theorists.

Many people believe all sorts of things . . . as if believing makes anything real.

Sensible people don't.

The constants that hold the Universe together are very, very, very finely tuned. How has that happened?

Surely the sheer size of the Universe points to God not away from Him

Your question has no meaning. On our planet we develop our own beliefs and there is many religions with their gods. The people of our world believe in who they want to.

Are you sure of the gender Fiveleaves?

I know who thinks they are the god in my household.
