Ok, I kind of regret starting this..........
There is no regret, there is the Force.
Honestly, Earth, only planet with water, only one with all the right conditions for life to flourish, that cant be a coincidence. But its also possible that alot of what science said is true, but created by God (or however you name Him) But when people say they think that, they are ridiculed by both groups, when honestly they have the highest probability of being correct. The things needed for life, water, breathable air (granted, you can adapt) and all the other things Earth is exactly right on, I dont see how that can be one big cosmic accident, and alot of science IS bs, like (forgive me) Evolution, if it existed, where are the fish with legs? Where are the Neanderthals? Dinosaurs? If evolution existed those should still be around, still evolving. But they are all dead.
There are three things that I would like to say to this post.
[list=1]
[*]When you have a two different scenarios, the one with less detail is more likely. For example, do you think it is more probable that Alvin is a bank teller, or that Alvin is a bank teller who practices magic tricks in his spare time? If you would like more information on probability theory, PM me and I'll be happy to elaborate.
[*]Who is ridiculing Christian apologists? I pointed to one scientist that advocates just the sort of compatibility suggested by your post. Did you follow the link to Francis S. Collins? He is a scientist that has a strong belief in the Christian God, and does a reasonably good job of reconciling Christianity with scientific fact. Another powerfully gifted Christian intellectual is C.S. Lewis. I am a bit leery of calling the mass of all Christians throughout history
stupid; some of the best minds throughout history have been Christian. If atheism were a question of intelligence, there would not be the powerful tradition of Christian Scholarship that survived the ages.
[*]Evolution is not something that can be ignored; I believe a rudimentary understanding to be important even for the layperson. The fact of evolution is seen in the rapid mutation of diseases, most notably the HIV virus. (The methods to treat that disease actually coerce the virus to mutate into a sterile version of itself. Very cool.) Moreover, the evidence for evolution is myriad and entirely consistent. While I do not have the space or motivation to outline the entire field online (although I have tried to do so in the past) I would like to point you toward these two quotations:
Nothing in Biology Makes Sense Except in the Light of Evolution
By T. Dobzhansky
"Does the evolutionary doctrine clash with religious faith? It does not. It is a blunder to mistake the Holy Scriptures for elementary textbooks of astronomy, geology, biology, and anthropology. Only if symbols are construed to mean what they are not intended to mean can there arise imaginary, insoluble conflicts. As pointed out above, the blunder leads to blasphemy: the Creator is accused of systematic deceitfulness."
The essay from which the above passage is quoted must already be more than 35 years old, and science has marched onward. The specific facts in the article (which you are welcome to search out at your leisure) may be out of date or may even still be applicable, but the sentiment has not been weakened one iota by a greater understanding of the universe. We are in a stronger position now than ever in the past to endorse the validity of evolutionary theory. Even without a single fossil, argues Dawkins, the theory of Evolution would still be the most thoroughly supported scientific concept of all time.
Spoiler:
If you were referring to actual living fish and dinosaurs, then I'll just point you to a Mass Extinction event as well as the lungfish.
