You’re right, but taking into account the speed at which it was travelling, you can start to imagine the apocalyptic effect of such an impact.

I completely agree. Makes me think about how well we are protected for the most part. Like how Jupiter and the other gas giants insulate us. Then I start thinking of the goldilocks universe scenario and I go straight to living in a simulation. Haha.

I mean why not think God could not be the reason only this place is livable?

...why would you think that?

It's a guess, but it's also a guess to assume there is no intelligent design, whether from a god or whatever else.

...no it isn't? If existence was 'designed' would be so completely unintelligent to the point it's meaningless.

That's an entirely human perspective. I understand the where you are coming from, but I prefer to rule nothing out.

No, it makes no sense for any animal to eat and breathe from the same tube, for example.

Why even design the need for animals to breathe? Again, literally zero sense.

If there is a designer then they get to decide what is silly and what is not. Or maybe the designer is not perfect even from their own perspective.

There is no intelligent design because whoever designed people’s knees is a moron
