Thank you for all the quotes, but I don't really care what other people think. I care what I think, and I think it looks like an explosion of matter,

Absurd, meaning dismissing actual observable science, and basing your superior opinion on a superficial appearance of an hodge-podge explosion of matter while ignoring the orbital and or predictable courses that bodies are, all related to each other to some degree. Remove even one planet from our solar system That collisions happen btwn bodies in their predictable courses is true, but there is a symmetry to the universe that is observable and well attested to.

I think if the universe were systematic and built for life, as I said, all the planets (or most) would be inhabited,

I explained that yet you insist on a scenario that was not conceptually argued for. It is earth life - the only proven intelligent life we know of - that our solar system, and thus the galaxy is finely tuned for, and even the universe as to some degree all are related. There are so many possible variables that are necessary for our intelligent life and so little tolerance that the odds of this happening by chance are simply astronomically astronomical. And the fact that all this complexity is for earth life actually supports the premise of special creation.

But seeing as you dismiss all evidence and insist on your own ignorant perception then why should I argue further? Yet may God grant you "repentance unto the acknowledging of the truth." (2 Timothy 2:25)

It seems like much is made of the repetitive nature of orbits. That there is pattern to some movements doesn't make it a sophisticated design.

As for the odds of our planet having a limited zone that can support intelligent life being "astronomical," funny you should use that word. There are billions of planets out there. If we are one in a billion, there's your odds.

But yes, it's useless to argue. If you want to see patterns, you'll see them, just like people looking up at the stars saw constellations, or clouds that look like bunny rabbits.
