I don't thank god - I see our perception of the fact that we are alive as special, but not evidence of a higher power. More of evidence of how materials in our universe self-align themselves into ever more complex systems. Just to be wiped out again.
I think I am here because after 3.8 billion years of evolution my nuerones have evolved to transmit millions of times in order to make me aware of my surroundings to a higher level than that of life before us. But to a lower level than that which will come after us. Pain makes us scream for a world which has answers and a higher power takes away all mystery of why - but this strikes me as ignorance. We have come portray ourselves as important, due to the fact that we believe we are here and can imagine the future.
Why would a god make living soo difficult - why would he not promote us to not unecessarily feel pain. Because he does not exist!
PLEASE someone, try to make me believe from a science viewpoint!!
