    You have the mistaken idea that believing in God is illogical.
    Believing in God is the most logical thing there is.
    I did not mention belief in God.

    Only a fool would believe that all that exists came into being by chance.
    Only a fool thinks that belief in God is the opposite of the above statement.

    You said:
    1. You have the mistaken idea that believing in God is illogical.
    2. Believing in God is the most logical thing there is.
    3. Only a fool would believe that all that exists came into being by chance.
    (numbering added)

    The implication being that 2 is a logical result of 3. I was trying to point out that it is not.
    Also:
    a. I do not know whether the universe came into existence by chance, but I fail to see how it would be foolish to believe that it did and I doubt that you can show it either other than by roundabout redefinition of the word 'fool'.
    b. Believing in God does not in any way show that the universe (which would include God in that instance) came about by any other means than chance.
    c. I doubt you even understand the concept of chance in the first place.

    That's what I believe. Before the Big Bang there was a little bang and before that a littler bang etc etc. 😛

    Many people go for a last long walk and fall off the edge. You probably just haven't been that far.
