Being an atheist who likes to argue, I've made that same point more times than I can count RVCA. And I think I touched on that before in the same post you were quoting.
The difference is - I don't mean special as in chosen or pre-ordained or something. I mean special like a four leaf clover or an eclipse - except an unimaginably more rare event than either of those.
The fact that we DO exist can create the illusion that we exist for a reason. Well we would say the same thing if things had happened totally different and in a whole other place. But the point is - not to let the fact that we do exist create the illusion that we aren't special. Not to let it make us believe that it happens all the time. Because I don't believe that's necessarily true.
