Debate: is god true?
Side: yes, god is true

So, what you're saying is, it was all random chance. Okay, makes sense enough.There was the chance of the rock we call Earth existing, somewhere in the universe. There was the chance of the Sun existing as well. There's the chance of them existing at the same time. Okay, yeah, that could all happen.Then there's the chance of, in all of the possible places of the universe for them to exist, they happened to exist at the perfect distance from each other to support life. There happens to be air and water and all of that other good stuff that we need to survive, all of this stuff that could appear at any random place in the universe happens to be on this particular planet. Earth also just happens to be the size necessary to have an atmosphere that is not so thick that it prevents the Sun's energy from coming through and freezes us, but not so thin that it fries us. That's getting to be a little unbelievable, but still quite possible.Now it gets complex. See, this planet is now fully capable to support life. Who says life has to actually appear there? Life could appear anywhere in the universe and die off. You might argue that life might be able to survive in the other conditions, but why should it? If there is no mind overseeing thing to make sure, why should life end up somewhere in the universe that it can actually survive?But life does appear here, incredibly, and this life happens to be the right sort of life for the environment on earth. That's pretty darn unbelievable, if you ask me, but some may still call it coincidence.So now we look deeper. Who says life has to work? Yeah, life started out as single-celled stuff. Religious people aren't idiots who think it was just BANG hey look! It's the modern world! We aren't ignoring scientific evidence. We're actually making use of it.So, we have single-celled organisms in an environment perfect for their survival. They happen to be capable of reproducing, which is necessary to continue life. They happen to be capable of eating to support their bodies. See, randomness doesn't guarantee anything. You might end up with a great organism that's the only one of its kind and has no way of asexual reproduction, and this its species would die off then and there. You might end up with a life form which has great life processes, but no way of supporting them, so it would die off from lack of resources, even if the resources surrounded it.Okay, I'm going to jump here and re-build to that point. Let's start small and get bigger. Atoms. The fact that they exist is something that requires God. But that's not my argument, as it would simply end in you saying "I don't believe you." as neither of us can provide any evidence stretching that far back.Here's a thing: All objects in motion will remain in motion and all objects at rest will remain at rest unless an outside force acts upon them. All atoms, and all matter is in constant motion. Who or what started that motion?Okay, back on track. The structure of the atom. Has it ever occurred to you all of the math in the stable environment? Do you think that atoms just happen to have the appropriate number of electrons to from the correct bonds and break these bonds at the correct times in the correct places by mere chance? To you think that the energy that powers such bond making and breaking exists in such precise locations in the universe with such exact motion patterns by mere chance?And here's a nifty thing about water: water can take in or release a load of heat energy with relatively little change in it's temperature, because of hydrogen bonding. See, water is polar, and the force of the positive and negative charges attract each other, forming hydrogen bonds. That's why water clings to itself and some other stuff. but see, energy needs to be taken in by the water to break hydrogen bonds, and afterwords, the motion of the water molecules speed up and the temperature rises. When the energy it is being fed ceases to enter the water, the temperature drops and the hydrogen bonds re-form, releasing a lot of heat.I told you this to tell you that, when earth heats up to the point of being uncomfortable to life, the water can absorb a load of this heat and cools the air. When it gets colder at night, the water cools and warms the air. That way, we aren't like Mars with deathly hot days and nights with temperatures a few hundred degrees below zero. Tell me that was mere chance? I think not.But wait - there's more! As water evaporates, it absorbs a load of energy (because it needs to first break the hydrogen bonds, then excite the molecules to the point of becoming a gas) and thus cools the surface of the water beneath the evaporated bit. Such evaporation is why sweat works. You can't say that sweat was a coincidence. Sweat prevents overheating. This is why humans, animals with bodies built to run, can chase a deer or antelope or something until the animal dies from overheating (so long as we drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration). We are built for endurance.Oh, and due to the shape of the water molecule and hydrogen bonding, ice is less dense than water (contrary to just about all other solid and liquid forms of an element). Because of this, ice floats on the top of water. As such, bodies of water freeze from the top down and leave room underneath for water creatures to survive. You call that coincidence?Water is just one thing that's like that, you'd probably stop reading if I went through them all. But there are many other such things that can't just be coincidence. if you still consider it coincidence, read on. Now we get into actual living beings.Let's just look at the cell, only a cell, for now. A prokaryotic cell, as that is probably the first sort. I'm skipping a load of stuff building up from atoms to a whole cell, but only because it'd take to long to get into.Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms, with all the components necessary for life (in the correct environment). They happen to have flagellum, allowing them to move. They happen to have an outer membrane for protection and a cell membrane. They happen to have ribosomes and DNA. They also have other things, I just can't remember what they are at the moment. But, if any one of these things were missing, or occurred in a slightly different way, the organism would not function. Without ribosomes they would not have the proteins necessary to grow. Without the outer membrane and cell membrane they would be unprotected an uncontained. And if these were slightly different, they would be incapable of gaining the resources necessary for survival. The cell membrane has many forms of active and inactive transport, and what is needed may go through and what isn't way not. Tell me that happened by chance. Chance cannot determine what is good for a cell and what is not. Cell membranes contain specific carrier proteins which allow certain molecules to pass through by facilitated diffusion. Because it is facilitated diffusion, the carrier proteins will not continuously pump molecules in, but will attempt to achieve equilibrium. Do you think that chance decided what carrier proteins allowed in and out of a cell? If chance decided that, cells would get a load of crap that they don't need and not the stuff they do need.There are also ion channels, which allow for the facilitated diffusion of certain ions. These are even more specific than carrier proteins because many of them have gates that make them open or close, these gates responding to stretching of the cell membrane, electrical signals, or chemicals in the cytosol or external environment. These gates prevent the cell from getting too much or too little of these ions in environments which may have more or less of them. So these are not necessarily trying to reach equilibrium.Them we get into active transport, which expends energy to obtain certain materials or expel them. Chance would not be so carefully though-through to allow for things like that. I'm not going to get into specifics of active transport, because you probably get the idea by now.And so, on to eukaryotes. The same stuff as above applies, and more. They have more parts, which work together in more ways, and they have membrane-bound structures within, rather than a free-floating hodge-podge. But eukaryotic cells actually work in unison to create an entire, higher being than unicellular beings. Call that coincidence? All of the organization of a living being...just coincidence? (eventually I will build back up to such beings)The energy from our food comes from the Sun. it can always be traced back to this. There is a high level of organization in the way organisms obtain such energy. Coincidence? I think not.In a plant cell, there is an organelle called a chloroplast. In the cloroplast, there is a solution called stroma. In the stroma are granum, and these granum are made from stacks of thylakoids. A thylakoid has a membrane, and in this membrane are pigments, being chloropylls and cartenoids, which absorb different sorts of light.This light energy then excites electrons in chlorophyll a. They gain enough energy to leave chlorophyll a, and are taken in by a molecule called the primary electron acceptor, which moves them along chain of such molecules called the electron transport chain, losing energy and moving H+ protons into the thylakoid.Electrons now enter a different chlorophyll a and are again exited, moving along another electron transport chain, to come closer to the stroma, where they combine with a proton and NADP+ to form NADPH, a molecule used to store energy. There is also chemiosmosis, which takes lace in the thylakoid membrane to produce ATP (I can't remember all of the details to that one). If a single thing were different, none of this could happen. Is it mere chance that there just so happens to be molecules that can absorb light energy right next to a chain of molecules that just so happen to have the appropriate amounts of electrons to become an electron transport chain, and this just so happens to end near molecules that allow for the production of NADPH and ATP? I mean, come on. It's fairly easy to tell the difference between an accidental death and a murder, because one is very obviously planned. Isn't this already obviously planned?Okay, next comes the Calvin Cycle. CO2 diffuses into the stroma and combines with ribulose biphosphate (RuBP) with the aid of an enzyme (another handy thing that just so happens to exist, without which it would be impossible to support life because of the energy demand) producing an unstable six-carbon molecule which immediately splits into two thre-carbon molecules called 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA).Then each 3-PGA molecule combines with a phosphate group from a molecule of ATP and an H+ proton from NADPH and releases a phosphate group, producing glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P). Then the ADP, NADP+ and the phosphate that also result are re-used in the previous reactions that I talked about. (Handy, huh?)Then one of the two G3P molecules leaves the Calvin cycle and is used to make carbohydrates, which store energy for later use. the other G3P is converted back into RuBP through the addition of phosphate groups from ATP and returns to the beginning of the cycle. A little too efficient for coincidence, I think.Then animals can consumes the plants and they have similar processes (but in reverse) to gain the energy. What are the chances that plants would have it one way and animals would have it the other, in perfect harmony with each other? That's only one way that totally different organisms rely on each other. All of this reliance....How the heck is that not planned out? A crazy amount of careful thought went into the creation of the world, I tell you!IF YOU WERE BOARD AND SKIPPED MY DETAILED EXPLANATIONS, PLEASE AT LEAST READ THE WORDS AFTER THIS POINTSo, what are the chances that everything happened to happen in the right order, in the right places? Sure, everything needed for life exists, and it could theoretically combine and create life. But that's not the issue. The issue is that it combined into working ecosystems. What are the chances that we would not only get the perfect environment, but the perfect organisms around us to rely on? And we are capable of both eating and digesting our food, and then it's actually useful to our bodies, and has ways of getting to the places where it is useful! We have the senses to know what is happening around us, and the ability to influence what is happening so that our observations are actually put to use (Wouldn't it suck to realize that there's a really painful thing coming, but not have the ability to move out of the way? Or would it be worse to have the ability to move out of the way, but not the ability to know what's coming?). Everything is carefully thought out to work and maintain itself. And, if something goes wrong in life, we have immune systems and and other such stuff to correct things. There are so many chances, chance upon chance upon chance, that it is truly impossible that there wasn't someone thinking it all out. It's blatantly obvious that this was all set up to work, because, if one thing, any one thing, were different, if any chance went the other way, then it would all crumble.I would go into more detail, but you've probably got places to go. That's why I generalized.
