Religion greatly over-estimates the importance of humanity, and greatly under-estimates the impact of chance and the laws of the universe... we are not the center of the universe. The universe was not created for us. We are not the sole reason for existance. I know that you wish that we could still believe that the earth is the center of the universe, but it isn't... now religion says 'but it's so unlikely that things could have evolved the way they did on Earth, so it CAN'T be that!'. That just makes no sense. So it isn't likely. ... uh, so? The fact that life didn't survive in the rest of the solar system helps coroborate that, as does how we haven't detected any radio signals from outer space yet... so it was a complex and fragile set of circumstances that led life to evolve here. Why is that so hard to believe? Oh yeah, and just because we are smarter than the other species doesn't mean we are so much better... other species are intelligent too (some apes and monkeys are as smart as young children), you know... but no, WE are why everything exists. Or at least we are so special and amazing and great and unique that the whole universe was created just so we could exist.

Talk about pretendious.

As I said, science has answered lots of questions... and from looking at that we can see the likely answers to more. Religon just has to keep backing up -- well maybe the Earth wasn't created by God in seven days 5,324.754 years ago, but darnit he created it sometime! Well maybe he didn't create the Earth, but he created the universe! Well maybe he didn't create the universe, but he created the stuff that created the universe and guided it along just so we could exist!

That is just so incredibly absurd that I can't think of what to say.
