What the eyes can't see 22

Lets start at the very beginning, its always a good place to start. Two views, look around you at all the splendor, when you look up, there is the sky, filled with the billowing clouds that bring rain to quench the dry earth, and the sun who's scattered rays keep us warm throughout our days. At night the moon, and the stars that dance in the heavens, shooting stars and distant galaxies all strategically placed, or randomly scattered, the choice is yours. Majestic mountains rise up from out of the earth, and deep blue oceans which, rivers constantly replenish, conjure up feelings of tranquility. Then there are the dogs that bark, the bees that sting and the delicate artwork adorning a butterflies wings, all creatures great and small, and then us greatest of them all. Take some real time out and look around you, Stop! To smell the roses, Listen! To the raindrops fall, Seriously! Meditate! on all you see and then ask yourself the following question, and don't stop asking this same question until you know deep down inside of yourself that the answer is right. Where did all of this come from ???
All of this happened by chance? let's look at this option very briefly, perhaps later a little more in depth.
If man and all of the above evolved, according to what I have gathered, from currently accepted mathematical probability studies, and please don't quote me, do your own math, the chances are about one in about a billion to the power of 27. Now I don't know about you, but I, most certainly would not stake my life on odds like these. Please take the time, look up the probable statistics, of incalculable random chances required, leading up to our existence, as required by evolution, because I don't recall any of the promoters thereof giving any views on the subject of the chances.
Created by God? Well no matter how you look at it, the chances have to be better mathematically, because here we are looking at only one required event, the "Existence of God" and not a multiple array of random chances. Pascal's Wager (or Pascal's Gambit) is a suggestion posed by the French philosopher Blaise Pascal "Even though the existence of God cannot be determined through reason, a person should wager as though God exists, because so living has everything to gain, and nothing to lose". Or as another mathematician put it "I want to know how God created the universe. I am not interested in this or that phenomenon. I want to know His thoughts, the rest are details." - Albert Einstein
