Cosmology: milky way size is enormous (Introduction)

dhw: There is no distortion. You simply keep leaving out the major question of why he “had to” specially design millions of life forms, lifestyles and natural wonders extant and extinct which have nothing to do with his allegedly one and only purpose of creating H. sapiens, every stage of which was, according to you, specially designed anyway.

You claim to accept the idea that God had to right to choose to evolve life until He reached humans and then deny that He should have. Makes no sense.

DAVID: To get from bacteria to humans required all the 'non-human elements'.

dhw: Did it? Then once again, please explain why. And please don’t say they all had to eat or not eat one another until your God could specially design the only thing he wanted to design.

If God decided to create the bush of life to eventually create humans, that is what happened. You are saying God shouldn't have evolved humans

Under “Human evolution”
QUOTE: "'I think showing how rare and special our planet is only enhances the case for protecting it," Schwieterman said. "As far as we know, Earth is the only planet in the universe that can sustain human life.'"

DAVID’s comment: I'm not surprised. Our planet has many fine-tuned and undoubtedly unique features. I suspect we are alone.

dhw: Which again raises the question of why your God, whose sole purpose apparently was to specially design humans, specially designed the billions of galaxies that are incapable of sustaining life.

The response is obvious: we have a fine-tuned universe.
