Time keep an online archive of all their articles. You clearly did not read it in black and white I wont let you take the lazy easy option any more. You have two choices
Debate it fairly, with cites and known facts and stick to your side and point

You have lost me with this one Mata.you allege each planet is its own unilateral microcosm?
Um, yes - of course it does. Mars and Jupiter - not a great deal. I'm missing where you are going here. Is this a unilateral microcosm conundrum?So the sun has no effect on our planet? Mars? Jupiter?
I just re-read part of the god delusion and found that i slightly misquoted. There are a billion billion planets in the universe not that can support life, but because we exist that means there is at least a 1 in a billion chance. which means that there life should exist on a billion planets
part of the full quote
-----------
Suppose life's origin on a planet took place through a hugely improbable stroke of luck, so improbable that it happens on only one in a billion planets. The National Science Foundation would laugh at any chemist whose proposed research had only a one in a hundred chance of succeeding, let alone one in a billion. Yet, given that there are at least a billion billion planets in the universe, even such absurdly low odds as these will yield life on a billion planets. And - this is where the famous anthropic principle comes in - Earth has to be one of them, because here we are.

Yeah, I too would like a link about how a planet is formed from a collapsed black hole.
Everything I've ever read (and everything I've been able to find through Google just now) says that when a black hole completely collapses, you end up with a large burst of energy / radiation... nothing else.

Do you know how much a billlion billion is?
Anthropic principle is a principle not an exact art or law. But what he is saying is the slightest chance still on a cosmic scale provides an incomprehensible amount of planets that support life, even if you divided it again, you are still looking at millions of planets, and even if you take the chance and slice it up again you still have several hundred thousand at the very least, but that is still a large amount. You still seem to think Earth is the centre of the universe
No. I need a link to information that says something other than "when black holes explode, they just release radiation", as that's all I can come up with. At the moment, I have a heap of sites telling me one thing, and then you telling me another. Therefore, unless you can show me otherwise, why would I take your word for it over all of these other sites?Its the same as the big bang theory all the matter of the planets etc that it swallowed are expelled.
That is the only example we currently have, do you need a link to information on the big bang singularity?
No you are misunderstandning, not reading and cherry picking.
I am saying even if you further exclude whatever you want, not matter how slight the odds you put in place there are still a billion planets, and even if you threw every restriction you wanted in there, even if we knw the exact goldilocks zone for every planet in the universe, no matter the odds at the smallest number you can still speculate hundreds of thousands.
The reality is thouogh that the 1 in a billion that most people including you in previous discussions have placed on it, if that is the odds then there are 1 billion billion.
It is mathematic certainty we arent alone, and your argument of \"mere chance\" becomes weaker and weaker.
Now like I say, when will you choose to debate it properly or will you admit you just dont know and are relying merely on faith?
