This planet matters to us. Live or let die!
If Earth's position and nature are "special" and "unique," then Intelligent Design becomes self-evident. And if Intelligent Design is "proven," the fundamental foundations of the entire world system are called into question. A reversal of the "God is Dead" movement over the last century-plus would profoundly alter our world.

Since man chose wrong, yes, this is true. The Bible acknowledges this.

"Evil" is not a thing. Evil is the absence of Good. And where God is not welcome, Good is much less likely to exist. Think of Evil as Darkness...it's been equated for very good reason for millennia. It is the absence of Light.
When humans reject God, Goodness diminishes where He is dismissed and denounced.

This is absolutely correct. Jesus Christ was murdered because of and by religion. "My burden is light..." He didn't give us another religion; He gave us relief from it.

People who choose to reject God are given their desire in the next life. "Hell" is separation from God, forever. God does not "send" anyone anywhere. He permits them their choice, just as Adam & Eve were given the choice.

You don't think earth revolves around the sun?

None of the stuff you said makes sense. Again, I don't believe in a god. Your statements are based around the belief in the Christian religion.

It is "probably true."

Didn't make any sense to me at one time in my life, either.

I don't believe in it because it's Christian. I'm a Christian because it's true.
I can only explain what I know.

The other option is that sun revolves around earth and all the other planets revolves around the sun. But Martians or Titans or Plutonians could likewise argue the exact same thing for their planets in relation with the sun and the other planets. Everyone could be in a special and unique place of the Universe... ;D
