if god is not real and the "big bang" started everything what are the chances that out of every speck of a planet in every speck of a galaxy that this small blue one that we call home has life and the perfect conditions for life where to our knowledge no where in the rest of the universe has life please explain how that happened

actually mathematicians have calculated the probability of that actually happening, and they used a number, which signifies impossibility.
but according to science the universe is either infinite or infinitely expanding so any number calculated is impossible and how do we know this number is right people once believed the world was flat and were proven wrong
yeah! the universe is infintite, and no matter how small the chances are in infinity it's bound to happen SOMEWHERE! and did you ever think how silly it is that we, the creations of evolution (or whatever) have smart enough to sit here argueing about it?
and its just a coincidence it happpened HERE
I have to ask, how did it all start? I mean yeah, the "big bang" could easily have happened. The same with Evolution. However those are only hypotheses, and neither deals with the question of what actually started the process. We seriously dont expect things just to randomly happen, if a house just blows up, we look for a bomb, or other means of explosion. It is part of the scientific method, in fact it is the basis for all science that if something happened, there is a reason for it, and it can not only be proven, but also repeated.
and @Alexandra, there was no "here" before the big bang, or before God created the universe. There was no place, so there couldn't be a coincidence of it happening "here".
That's not what i meant . i meant the coincidence of life happening on earth,not the coincidence of the big bang happening here.
Oh, sorry. But my original point still holds, How was it started? Also it would prolly be better to say that the coincidence was that earth was able to sustain life, right? because it is no coincidence that life did not start on say the sun, and it is not coincidence that life started and is, as far as we know, limited to the only planet in the universe that can sustain life. life most definitely could not have coincidentally happened on venus, or pluto.
Yeah, like it just so happens that we're just so far away from the sun, and Jupiter just happens to be large enough to block debris from slamming into the earth from it's gravity, and it just so happens that we have water et cetera. Too many variables to be a coincidence.
