Let me explain something to you godboy. Your arguments are correct. Thje philosophers who are trying to refute you are incorrect. You are wrong in your conclusions but not for the reasons these philosphers talk about. Rather it is because of the fact that the miraxculous things you see around you are NOT nearly as unlikely or coincidental as they appear to the scientifically uneducated. A simple example is the beauty of bubbles or snowflakes or mountains. Same goes for your eclipse example.

Believe me if you were arguing with physicists or molecular biologists rather than philosphers, you would no longer feel that your ideas are on firm ground.

This is one my favorite posts of yours.

Of course, it's a fact that all life today evolved from single cells a long time ago. Only those ignorant of biology say otherwise. The evidence is simply overwhelming and irrefutable.

But you have to admit that currently, abiogenesis (random molecules -> first cell) looks like a long shot. There are several stages in this process that we can't find a plausible mechanism for. Of course the dots will be joined eventually (just look at the history of biology), but until then we must concede that it does appear highly improbable. The theists still get to put their "God of the Gaps" in there for now.
