Don’t see how anyone can make this statement without a smirk...

‘a relatively short jump from the idea that “the universe is random” to “the universe is not random”.’ Please elaborate.

Re: “created by a Being specifically for the sake of the inhabitants of one single planet, orbiting one single star, in one single galaxy.”

There is much scientific evidence supporting the Earth being the ‘center of it all’ Not arguing for geocentrism unless one counts the universe too.

Consider a National Geographic presentation for a 3D computer mock-up that shows the Earth in a very much central position of the all that we can see.

Or another recent DVD, “The Privileged Planet” by Illustra Media where they exclaim near the end how we appear to be uniquely positioned in the Universe to observe the entire visible spectrum.

Or how about the book “Just 6 Numbers”? It details how altering any 1 of these cosmological constants would not allow for life at all.

If you’re OK with all these being mere coincidences, then fine, but from my perspective I continue to find an overwhelming amount of evidence [see my links] in support of a relatively young Earth and Universe and the unique claims made by God in the Holy Bible.

I find it impossible to accept that all the stars, all the galaxies out there were created for no other purpose than to decorate Earth's night sky.

I see no reason whatsoever for a creator not to have created millions of intelligences throughout the trillions of worlds that the universe contains.

Sorry, you don’t get to argue modern physics and declare young-earthism, any more than you get to argue modern medicine and declare that disease can be cured by bloodletting.
