Most astronomers don’t believe in God
I know, I worked with them for ten years at what was then the worlds largest optical Observatory.
Christians were very rare there.
I’m a Christian(maybe not the best example)
but WE being Earth are unique in the observable universe, hands down.
God created us and we are made in HIS image, on a world hospitable to our physiology, that is unique, as far we have observed.
Not saying that God put his eggs “all in one basket”.
But in making kids you want them to be like you when they mature- Hopefully better.
That is a very mammal trait, but I suspect every alien in the universe that is a parent would be the same.
God is our parent.
The preponderance of atheists in science is pretty much a modern gatekeeping thing. Atheists like to believe that science somehow disproves God, and that Christians should be kept out of it. But it was Christians who practically invented science, and a lot of them monks. Kepler is thought of as the first astronomer. Then there’s Copernicus, Galileo, Newton, etc. The situation was reversed back then, with Christians forming the majority of scientists.
Amen to that.
