Hi mike the wiz,
I have hesitated to interject into this thread because my original premise is actually off topic here. But I don't want you to think that I'm avoiding anything either; so:
My original statement in the other thread had nothing to do with the statistical probability of life elsewhere in the universe.
The statistical probability that there is life on earth is 100% regardless of how it got here.
Until documented numbers prove otherwise, I contend that disasters, accidents, illness, ad infinitum, are spread across the demographic spectrum (i.e. Christian, Muslim, Atheist, etc.) in a random pattern.
As such, the observation is that we live in an indifferent universe (or, at the very least, an indifferent world).
Thus, again, the one to one correspondence is that we
do indeed live in an indifferent universe/world.
Whereas the theist is required to add on various rationalizations to explain why a God created inhabited world appears to follow only the laws of chaos and indifference.
