  1. If the "10^10^123" number was so convincing evidence for the existence of god, you would think that it would have been enough to persuade the greatest physicist of our time, Stephen Hawking, to be a believer. Alas, he was not; because the figure is misleading. The odds against Mount Everest being shaped exactly as it is or everyone in the world being exactly as they are are nearly as high, yet there's no "miracle" to be found. It's possible that our universe exists within a set of a nearly infinite number of other universes, a so-called "multiverse," each with its own set of laws, that might account for this fact. Or, even if ours is all there is, postulating a designer only postpones the mystery one further step. A creator of such a massively improbable universe would have to be immensely complex, and therefore at least as improbable himself (or herself). Without an explanation to end the infinite regress of creation, saying "God did it" gets you absolutely nowhere. And thus far, no theologian or philosopher has ever provided us with an adequate explanation for the origins of such an entity. Only science provides answers, and it's unimaginably more likely that mankind invented a fictional Creator to explain his own origins than such a being actually revealed itself to them, in that specific part of the world, exactly 13.72 billion years after its initial creation. Besides, other physicists have called this number into question, with Professor of Physics Victor J. Stenger -- for instance -- doing more calculations than most to prove that the odds of the physical constants being exactly as they are and producing life are in fact much, much lower. Rehashing old arguments is all theologians got, because the profession has been around for thousands of years and produced absolutely nothing of value.
