Cosmology: milky way size is enormous (Introduction)

dhw: […] please explain why you think your always-totally-in-control God specially designed all the wrong-sized galaxies if his purpose was to specially design the right-sized galaxy to create humans.

DAVID: You entirely miss the point about evolving everything. My view is God prefers to evolve toward His goals. Tiny galaxies are not wrong-sized for His purpose. The small galaxies orbiting the Milky Way are added to the Milky Way bit by bit to increase its size to the necessary bulk for a life planet to appear, exactly as the cosmological findings tell us. As with humans He eventually evolved the kind of galaxy He needed. Accept on one hand and reject on the other, but it is obvious to me God prefers to evolve toward all His goals.

You keep talking as though I reject evolution. What I object to is (a) your insistence that your God specially designed every step in evolution, and (b) that the purpose of every special design of every step was to produce the brain of H. sapiens. (See "unanswered questions"[/b]). With regard to galaxies, I don’t have a problem with your history of the Milky Way. I’m asking why you think he designed all the other, wrong-sized galaxies which, according to the article, are too small to produce life.
