Is there finally an argument for the existence of God?

In the context of moral sense that must come from a god, I find the above makes more sense if you change it to second person plural, i.e. “How come this innate moral sense doesn’t kick in all the time when they shop at someplace like Walmart where they’re patronizing a store that sells products made from child labor overseas?”

However, a reply from the religious that I have seen all to often is that god meant for humans to have dominion over animals and the earth, thus it is perfectly OK to seemingly overuse resources because god would never let resources run out and would never allow a climate run-off to kill off her precious perfect creatures. Which scores 11 out of 10 on both the blind belief scale and the egoism scale.

Because it is not. We are here because the local conditions on our planet happen to be conducive for our kind of life, not because the conditions were made for life to exist. Or, put another way: the conditions in the universe are not adapted to life, but life has found a way to adapt to the local conditions.

No, I don’t think you do.
