      Physics demonstrates that the odds of human existence in our universe w/o intelligent design are vanishingly small. Thus multiverse theory.

      Only if you start from the assumption that humans were what were meant to be here.

      Any physicist will tell you that odds of 1 universe meeting conditions for existence of human life is worse than winning lottery 1000s times

      Exactly. You're starting from the assumption that human life was the thing that was meant to be here.

      You cld shuffle a deck of cards & whatever mix you get has infinitesimal probability. If you assume that result was intended, it's amazing.

      We have evidence of only 1 universe. If you want to believe in multiple universes to "shuffle",do so,but realize you are taking a leapfaith

      Only need one deck of cards to shuffle & any result has probability of 1in 10 to the power of 68. Similar to # of atoms in our galaxy.

      If you decide that whatever result was intended, you'll naturally assume an intelligent mind did it.

      Science will tell you that most random results by far yield nothing close to life or intelligence. So why is it irrational to posit God?

      There's no evidence of God. You just think life and intelligence is remarkable because you're alive and intelligent.

          Also, I don't think 'science' would speak of 'most random results by far.' You're starting with an assumption of a purpose/

          And nobody is suggesting randomness. Random isn't the opposite of intended.

          'God' is a childish idea. Reasoning, designing animals seeing the world through their own nature as designed for a reason.

          Sorry to have challenged your orthodox views. I do view the world with child like wonder. Pity those who think they know it all. Good night

          It's a pretty big leap to go from the anthropomorphic principle to a belief in any specific God. Just saying you don't know is more honest.

          Your correct &my tweets were not intended as a dissertation on my beliefs. I don't know. Neither do you nor do the world's best scientists.
