snip that stuff
That's no problem at all. Just think about the enormous size of the universe, and about the billions of years it's been in existence. Even if the odds against spontaneous abiogenesis (life arising from nonliving matter) are astronomical, so is the scale of the universe itself, and the number of earthlike planets in the universe is enough to make many inhabitated worlds not only possible but probable. It just happened by accident. That doesn't mean that it doesn't have any meaning at all, and that there are no divine powers at work - it just means that the divine power didn't do it as the Bible tells us. It's just the world as the Jews saw it 3,000 years ago. There is no ultimate truth, there is no truth that is good forever - every truth is only true for a certain time, at a certain place. We will see new religions, new gods, new prophets, and they will be just as true as the old ones were back then.
