Did someone put us here or did it just happen?
For me the operative word is “happen”.
If I became aware of myself as a conscious observer/participant in the universe one time then that proves it’s possible. What can happen once can and probably will happen again.
Thus I really tend to discount the atheist belief that consciousness is an accident, a one-time event, and when you check out, take the old dirt nap, you’re gone forever. That’s an irrational conclusion. The rational conclusion is that what happens once will, given enough time and opportunity, happen again.

Well it's not a bad argument for intelligent aliens, I suppose.
I'm not sure what it has to do with atheism (or theism for that matter), though.
