> why can't atheists ever explain why earth is the only planet in the universe which can support life? atheists don't say this. there's hundreds of trillions of planets. it's almost a certainty that some form of life exists on some of them. the issue is we'll never be able to travel to them or even see them using telescopes because they're so far away. add in the time delay from viewing something millions of lightyears away.  even if we had a super powerful telescope that could see life on another world, wer're looking at it millions of years in the past because of the speed of light; so effectively you're looking into the past. or, you know, god just clicked his fingers on our little rock and said "fuck it that'll do" and ignores the rest of the universe, and happens to write it down in a book all conveniently for you.
