100 billion stars in our own galaxy, 160-500 billion planets and we want to think a god.. [View all]
looks after us?
Of all the 10,000 plus mammals on the planet Earth, in a galaxy with 160-400 billion planets, in a single galaxy of billions of galaxies, REPEAT, one of billions of galaxies, we are, on that one of billions of galaxies, one of 160 billion to 400 billion planets.
Where is the compelling need to believe in a god that looks out for us, or a god that we 1-3 billion out of 7 billion humans on our planet need to pray to?
If you didn't catch that from Carl Sagan while he was alive, here's a guy destined for that same fame, and about equally educated, to tell you about these one in 1.6 billion planets in the Milky Way, one of billions of galaxies. Just so you know that, since Carl died, the case about religion and a god has become a bit less convincing, based upon the discoveries we have made since Carl Sagan died.
Oh, subscribe to this young guy, (Ph.D.I think, already, at like 23) he talks about science from all over the place, and he needs more subscribers.
