You wrote in post 7: Not a compelling argument for a divine creation given that there are quite probably trillions of planets in the universe.

How many? 

I don't know. There's probably more planets than stars so my guess is at least 32 sextillion planets.

And what's your point?

Assuming the above, expressed in trillions-of-planets, there's 32 billion-trillion planets. I assumed you weren't aware that it was even remotely close to that many trillions -- 32 billion-trillion. And even that may be two to four times too few.

I actually had in mind 28 and a half billion trillion, but whats a few billion trillion in the grand scheme of things.
