PS.

marveling at their magnificence = It is likely that life across the universe is inevitable because of what God created as universal laws, and the most important law is the ratio between the strong force and weak force.

Many physicists found God after this revelation. Random isn’t conceivable at 36 digits of precision.

Ahhhhh.

Get where you're coming from--at least over this.

The probability of life arising by chance (or by the ordinary laws of physics) is remotely slim. So slim, that even with the trillions (maybe quadrillions or more) of star systems out there, the creation of life would be a miracle.

The second law of thermodynamics would have the universe undergoing entropy from the moment of the Big Bang. That stars and galaxies formed is rather astounding, and those are much, much easier to create (in terms of complexity) than life.

It is more probable that any amino acids that formed by chance would undergo entropy before forming proteins; proteins would be more probable to undergo entropy before forming the first microbe; the first microbe would be more probable to undergo entropy (and therefore revert to non-life) before getting a mutation which advanced it.

Cosmic and biological (Macro in the case of biology) is a big, uphill battle. God could have made life via Macroevolution on every single planet in existence, but from a [literalist] reading of the Bible, it seems as though God didn't.
