So let me get this straight - atheists believe that it's just a cosmic coincidence that the laws of the universe simultaneously begot the creation of sub-atomic particles which created atoms and basic elements which emerge from star factories, which just happened to form the substrate for biological life while simultaneously organizing themselves into structures such as solar systems and planets which provide the ideal structure for fostering said life, and the fact that life was the logical consequence of this entire process - from the big bang to the formation of solar systems to the self-organizing RNA and DNA particles of abiogenesis which created cells which created consciousness - is just a never-end set coincidences and freak accidents? Do they even understand how incredibly improbable that scenario is? The laws of the universe could have been set to any of an infinite set during its instantiation and it just so happens to have randomly chosen the set which has led to our existence? The odds of that are literally one in infinity. Fucking retarded.

In humans, expectations of future consequences cause present actions. Subsequently, the causative architecture of our actions is reverse from that of ordinary matter and energy, in which events of the past are the ascribed as causes for events in the present. In the instance of present actions derived from a moral sensibility, the actor desires "not to become" a person who engages in an immoral act X, and it is again the conception of a future, specifically of the future self, driving the present action. The principle of reversal temporal causality is one which derives from our instinct to manipulate and control our experience, however subtly or unconsciously, which is common to many living animals.
