Google the estimated number of grains of sand on earth and you’ll get a number that is roughly a million times smaller that the estimated number of stars in the universe or (75 with 17 zeros behind it.). Here is the kicker. In our galaxy scientist have observed that there are roughly the same amount of stars as planets. There is no current reasoning to conclude that other galaxies would be any different. So 2 billion trillion planets or 2,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 planets out there, which ever you like. Religion tells us that god has control of everything, every leaf that falls, every drop of rain, every life and death because anything short of this would end in a universe of chaos. Religion tells us that they have the true knowledge of how the universe was formed, who controls it and how it will end and most important of all, why god created it. He did it for homosapien’s souls on this one little planet at the far edge of the universe and it had nothing to do with any life on or around the remaining 2,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 planets. Apparently those were just for show and have no significance. In closing, the scholars that reached these conclusions did it from their study of a book written by largely unknown authors that had no idea galaxies existed, that stated, as fact, that the mustard seed is the smallest seed that exists, among other proven untruths. Now how the hell would I know if a god exists.
