You claim that I see order simply because I want to see order but the truth is, I see order because it is an observable fact. Any environmentalist, doctor or 6th grader realizes how delicately balanced an ecosystem must be to support life. Mathematics proves the odds of attaining and maintaining life as being beyond human comprehension.
How many billion planets do you think there are in the universe?
...because each of those has a chance of attaining and maintaining life. Some will be just the right distance away from a star, and bam! evolution could happen.

Whatever it is those who have dedicated their lives to the pursuit of knowledge about it seem to agree that what we see is only the surface of what is out there. They are currently solving complex problems which involve multiple dimensions.
A good illustration would be that our universe is one of the droplets at the top of an ocean wave and as we touch or merge into other droplets there is a real effect. Like an explanation of black holes and the disappearing energy and mass.
Delusion ignores truth. The truth is people of faith are far more likely to help fellow humans in time of need providing hope for their future. Those who follow he Atheists ideology are less likely to provide lasting help because they have little to no hope for a long-term future.
Bud,
Why do so many Atheists spend so much time focusing on something (God) they claim does not exist?
I'll tell you why...it irritates the snot out of some of us. And it is fun....and we learn a lot....the more we read on the subject the more we learn that we are right.

There is actual math to this. We see roughly 400,000,000,000 stars in our galaxy alone, with about 100,000,000,000 galaxies in our observable universe. These are just rough estimates here.
That's 4E+22. (40,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) stars. Even if just 1\1000 had a planet, and 1\1,000,000,000 were habitable, we're still talking 4E+9 Habitable planets. 4,000,000,000. FOUR. BILLION. This is an unlikely number too. The number is probably much higher, considering the only exosolar planets we've been able to detect are huge (several times the size of Jupiter). The smallest planet we've seen is about the size of Uranus at seven times the mass of Earth.
I think the smallest extrasolar planet known at present is less than 3 times the mass of the Earth. When the replacememnt for the Hubble Telescope goes up, an Earth-sized planet may well be discovered. Planets appear to be very common in the Universe. It is inconceivable to me that Earth is the only planet with life.

The Kepler telescope has been up for a little bit now and has discovered the least dense exosolar planet to date which is roughly the size of Uranus.
That would be the most recent research that I've done. Considering we've found over 460 planets now, I could be wrong. As far as I know, there isn't one smaller than the Kepler 4b. As our technology gets even better, I have no doubt we will find smaller planets. I'm simply saying as of yet, we've really only found large planets. If we've found this many large planets without much effort, imagine the number of smaller possible planets.
My question remains the same. Why do Atheist, those who are certain there is no God, spend so much time and energy focused on something they “don’t believe in”?
Because of the utter insistence of theist to foist their world view on the rest of us. Get out of our civic and personal lives and we will cease and desist.
