That's interesting. Can you do me a favor and clarify just a little how it "wigged" you out? Thanks.abbaddon you wigged me out a little with yours.
You lost me on that last part, so I bold typed it and you'll see it above this paragraph. Please clarify, AJ113. And hey, I totally agree with the rest, but the path to stupidity you mentioned isn't the only one available. Path I mean. Whatever you want to call it. But at least it comes in a variety of colors. Sometimes even transparent. The variety in life is just another fishy situation.
Pick a random spot on the surface of the Earth, and chances are you would not be able to live there without significant technological assistance, but fish are doing pretty well living in that random spot right now.
KT, I took what you said, and I replaced Earth with the known universe. Then I replaced fish with the human race. Good call. You're right.
so now your argument boils down to god creating the Universe for bacteria

Our bodies are made of nothing but bacteria. Something like 95% if I remember right. But that doesn't really relate to your point. Just an odd fact that I find interesting. Why is the bacteria floating around out there? Who put it there? Has to be God because X = potato, so Y is a tasty French fry.
It has been explained in this thread. The reasoning behind convincing ourselves that anything is real at all. The mathematics and whatnot are right on point. But hold on, reality is knocking. How unreal is God, if the argument never goes away? Some things are so ridiculously unreal that they become more real than real, just by devoting energy into arguing about them. My argument is based around that, and not the potential existence of God, which I just inadvertently made more real btw.
I think one of you is talking number and the other is talking mass.
Bacterial cells in the human body outnumber 'human' cells. But the mass of the 'human' cells greatly exceed that of the bacteria. Bacterial cells are small and simple. Complex cells tend to be larger. There are a few grotesquely large bacteria out there, I think, but not in the human body.
So you are both right from a certain point of view.
It should be more dogmatic.
No. But real science has shown repeatedly that praying has no effect.You're aware of the experiments done with auditoriums full of people praying?
Possibly we're living in the Great Intendor's cesspool.What we consider to be the universe has to be the product of intention.
