****Earth is not too far away from the sun and not too close. A million miles either way and we do not exist. Odds against it are huge. ****

Actually the odds for 'a' planet with those conditions to exist somewhere in the universe is quite high...

The quote to which you responded is actually worse than you might think at first blush; the earth's orbit around the Sun isn't perfectly circular: Earth's distance to the Sun varies 3 million miles over the span of a year, EVERY YEAR. So much for the anti-Evo "doomsday scenario."
