Worse, we’re throwing piles of money at them.
I would describe something that rare as miraculous.
Then you have a different definition of “miracle” than most.
it just doesn’t help your argument to point out how unlikely life is.
And what exactly do you think my argument is?
I very clearly said that I thought the original point by the creationist didn’t make sense, so I’m not sure why you immediately assumed I’m making that argument.
I’m not sure why you assume that I assume that. I said no such thing.
I haven’t done any actual math in this respect, but I suspect this meme is still missing quite a lot of 9s after the decimal point.
If the vast majority of the universe is inhospitable, doesn’t that make it more miraculous and unexplainable that earth is?
No, because the Earth being habitable doesn’t violate any laws of physics. It’s just rare.

That’s just blatantly untrue, all kinds of actions are criminalized that have nothing to do with property. My hot take is that most crime is property crime because that’s the kind of crime that the perpetrator actually benefits from. If you steal something, you now have that thing. If you murder someone, you’re not any better off than before (aside from whatever loot your victim might drop, which is generally not worth it).
