I will believe as I choose and afford you the same privilege.You guys get too wrapped up in this. Agree to believe your own way.
To embrace relativism is to say that all things are true and that nothing is true simultaneously. As Jim said, you might as well try to nail jello to the wall. Relativism is inherently self-negating.
Relativism: There is no absolute truth, but the absolute truth that there is no absolute truth; hence, the absolute assertion that there is no absolute truth is necessarily false.
Behold the mind of God speaking to you sans the Bible telling you that relativism is nuts!
.the exploration of the Almighty's mind at best is a superfluous, nefarious pursuit that only someone out of their mind would pursue ... however to accomplish the religion of antiquity, the triumph of good vs evil, as prescribed may encompass your above (whatever) however in the simplest of terms the religion requires the being to become sinless through triumph, a permanent state for their admission to the Everlasting to be granted -
"I know this is difficult for you to get your head around " - the religion of antiquity is all there is - in freeing one's spirit to be eligible for judgement.
So who or what informed you about this religion of antiquity of yours?

You and every other physicist need to re-examine their assumptions.
What assumptions am I making? It seems pretty clear to me that if our universe is the one and only role of the dice, as it were, and produced the prerequisite, elemental chemistry and astronomical structures to support life in the first place purely by chance--by some unguided, natural mechanism--well, that's pretty damn astonishing on the order of a statistically staggering improbability.
.That is why He gave us the Bible, right?Don't try to read the mind of God-you can't.

I was always OKWho's arguing?Among other spiritual texts.That is why He gave us the Bible, right?Don't try to read the mind of God-you can't.
I don't argue with relativists.
I trust everything's okay now.
Yes, it is as long as more energy is being put into a system than leaves it.It’s pretty hard to argue that the laws of nature are such that they don’t predispose that intelligence will eventually arise given the correct conditions and enough time.
The overarching direction of evolution is for ever increasing complexity. This is true regardless if we are discussing cosmic evolution, stellar evolution, chemical evolution, biological evolution and evolution of thought.
It is literally the nature of nature.
Well, I'll give discussing this a shot even though I am skeptical you will keep up and keep it rational.
1) This is not a case of special pleading as, say for example, a Yahtzee has significance and the other roles dont other than that they are not Yahtzees. If one needs a Yahtzee to fill out one's card and not record a big fat 0 for it, you need that one roll in 7, 000/6 as it can be any of six different rolls all of one value. That is what makes such things significant and it is not an arbitrary value. If you are just rolling dice to hear the freaking sound of clattering dice, then who the fuck cares anyway?
2) Improbability is a nowhere arguement since given enough time anything can happen in theory. What is indisputable by reasonable people are IMPLAUSIBILITY. If you sat down to play a game of Five Card Draw with several other players and on the very first hand the dealer dealt everyone a flush but gave himself Five of a Kind, how many times would he have to do that before you decided he was cheating and stacking the deck? I wouldnt stay past the first hand, and I doubt anyone else would either because the odds of such a thing happening at all, let alone the first hand, are extremely IMPLAUSIBLE. Is it possible, sure, but if you dont appreciate that such a thing is IMPLAUSIBLE, you might lose your shirt in Reno.
Anyway, that is all I have time for.
Now you can yell and scream and tell me I am a superstitious idiot. lol.
There is no fine tuning problem. That problem vanished when we came to understand selection and the vastness of the universe. The only "problem" here is in the minds of people addled by religious nonsense who are slowly coming to the realization that we dont need sky daddies to explain anything. So, you choose to rant about problems that disappeared long ago.Hint: The fine-tuning problem

Agreed, creating order from chaos doesn’t violate the SLoT because useable energy was lost along the way as a cost of creating the order from chaos.Yes, it is as long as more energy is being put into a system than leaves it.It’s pretty hard to argue that the laws of nature are such that they don’t predispose that intelligence will eventually arise given the correct conditions and enough time.
