Is it true that Earth is insignificant? What is the pattern of the evidence? Wallace investigates:

There are four ways to die, and only one of them requires an intruder. Suicides, accidental, and natural deaths can occur without any evidence from outside the room. But murders typically involve suspects external to the crime scene. If there’s evidence of an outside intruder, homicide detectives have to prepare for a chase. Intruders turn death scenes into crime scenes.

Join J. Warner Wallace, former atheist, seasoned cold-case detective, and popular national speaker as he tackles his most important case … with you on the jury!

This video seems to be drawn from his book: God’s Crime Scene: A Cold-Case Detective Examines the Evidence for a Divinely Created Universe

@JStanley01:
There are a lot of reasons that can be imagined for why an omniscient, omnipotent and eternal God would make the universe so big. If the cosmos had been discovered to be otherwise, objectors would opine that if there were an omniscient, omnipotent and eternal God, certainly He would not have made its expanse so easy to comprehend.
You nailed it. It seems that people who paint themselves as semi-evolved primates with pathetic brains have lots of knowledge about how to design universes. Same goes for their lame complaints about our 'poor designed bodies'. If there is not 'design' in Nature? How the **** can something be 'badly designed'? a) A non-existent entity b) Can not have any qualities (neither posive, nor negative). Truthfreedom
