Objects to 'nothing but'. Sees 'We're nothing but a species of animal' as diminishing but 'We're nothing but creations of a God' ennobling

Says much more about how the writer wants to see himself than what actually does constitute human worth.

This is common error. If someone sees own value as inherent to their belief system, they imagine ppl without it see themselves as valueless

If they see 'sacred' - meaningful, moving, essential values - in distinctly religious terms, imagine non-religious to not have any.

What do you mean if you say that the probability of your existence is tiny?

Yeah, I'm probably thinking too much into it, but... 1) I'm a determinist so I believe that your existence IS inevitable.

2) If you didn't exist, you couldn't make the statement that the probability of existing is very low. So it's a meaningless statement imo

I don't see how that works. Fact remains I am here rather than someone else or no-one only makes it inevitable in retrospect.
