Neil deGrasse Tyson's argument against the existence of a God who created the Universe.

Okeztra1:19

Transcription

If whoever created the universe, if there's such an entity that did, why make a universe where we didn't show up for 13 billion years, right?

Not only that, Earth was not born until the universe was already 8.9 billion years old, right? And then life begins. Single-celled organisms is the god of that life. Okay. But that was 3.8 billion years ago. Humans in our current form last, you know, 100,000 years or so. Go to a million years, which is a drop in the bucket relative to the billions. 4 billion, right? Millions to billions. Okay.

It seems like if you really wanted to make a universe that favored us, we would have shown up much earlier, much earlier. I'm just thinking just if you know that the argument against that will be that because God exists outside of time and space, what we see is 13.8 billion years is not measured by God. Yeah. However, my issue there is not how long that is, but how long that is relative to us. That's all. That could be short to God, right? But that means we're even shorter. Okay.
