The Earth was Created for Man

My position assumes the non-existance of god(s).My position assumes that the Big Bang is scientific fact, as is Evolution.The core problem with the Pro position is it assumes the centricity of the earth in "God's plan" for the universe. This is a view from antiquity which has been put aside by sience via Heliocentrism. Later it was discovered that the sun was in a galaxy called the Milky Way, and was not in the center of this galaxy. We have no reason to believe that the Milky Way galaxy is in the center of the universe.What is the point of the universe. From my opponent's position, there is no reason for the universe.The mere existance of the Milky Way galay, and even more so, the 100 billion galaxies in the entire Universe, is a strong argumet against God's intervention. Why would he create these?From the standpoint of science, each star is simply a chance for life to rise up out of the ocean. The more times you play the lottery, the more likely you are to win.The eart is in what is known as the Goldilox Zone. The moon creates tides, which allowed ocean-dwelling cells to come to land. Very important.******************There is strong evidence from NASA's WAMP mission of 2001 "determined the universe to be 13.77 billion years old to within a half percent.[1]" This is due to measuring the levels of Cosmic Background Radiation[1]. The three most highly cited physics and astronomy papers published in the new millennium are WMAP scientific papers--- reflecting WMAP's enormous impact[1]. The position of the conservative Christian is Young Earth Creationism. "Since 1982, between 40% and 50% of adults in the United States say they hold the creationist view that 'God created humans in their present form at one time within the last 10,000 years'[3]"This is because there is no record of a god for billions of years before recorded history. Key point to refute: what was God doing in these billions of years, and why were humans not involved?**************Look at the history of the earth. Solar System formation"The proto-Earth grew by accretion until its interior was hot enough to melt the heavy, siderophile metals. Having higher densities than the silicates, these metals sank. This so-called iron catastrophe resulted in the separation of a primitive mantle and a (metallic) core only 10 million years after the Earth began to form, producing the layered structure of Earth and setting up the formation of Earth's magnetic field.[4]" Formation of the MoonThe giant impact hypothesis states that the Moon was formed out of the debris left over from a collision between the Earth and a body the size of Mars, approximately 4.5 Gya (four and a half billion years ago). The colliding body is sometimes called Theia, for the mythical Greek Titan who was the mother of Selene, the goddess of the Moon[5]"Formation of the continents"The initial crust, formed when the Earth's surface first solidified, totally disappeared from a combination of this fast Hadean plate tectonics and the intense impacts of the Late Heavy Bombardment[4]." "The oldest rocks on Earth are found in the North American craton of Canada. They are tonalites from about 4.0 Ga. They show traces of metamorphism by high temperature, but also sedimentary grains that have been rounded by erosion during transport by water, showing rivers and seas existed then"Why all this hullablo? Why couldn't God have simply created the earth in six days and be done with it?[1] http://map.gsfc.nasa.gov...[2] http://map.gsfc.nasa.gov...[3] http://en.wikipedia.org...[4] http://en.wikipedia.org...[5] http://en.wikipedia.org...
