The universe used to be a tiny, infinitely small, infinitely massive ball of itself
Not infinitely massive, infinitely dense.
then for no reason, against all common sense it just started expanding
This implies a couple things. Firstly, it implies that your common sense is somehow valuable when it comes to understanding the universe. It isn't, common sense and intuition are garbage for anything other than running from predators or hunting for food on the African savanna.
Secondly it implies that there existed a moment in time during which the universe wasn't expanding. This is not the case. There was no time at which the universe wasn't expanding. There was a moment in time at which the entire universe was a singularity. It doesn't make sense to consider any times prior to that.
and everything was created RANDOMLY from two elements magically
There's nothing magic about nuclear physics and chemistry. The only magical thing here is believing that the course of events was influenced through supernatural means. The very definition of magic.
combining and forming bigger elements until they all existed
So how many elements would exist otherwise? None of them?
instead of burining up and being pulled into the star, they formed together with each other and started spinning around these stars?
Stars don't "burn", they fuse. It takes a lot of energy to fuse heavy elements, which is why they only show up in supernovae explosions, one of the few naturally occurring events capable of producing the temperatures and pressures required to produce elements heavier than iron. And then a lot of that material *does* get pulled into the central star. Hell, the amount of iron in the sun weighs as much as 466 Earths and Earth is only about 1/3 iron, so the sun has nearly 1500 times the amount of iron as earth.
with each other and started spinning around these stars?
They didn't "start" spinning, they always were spinning. They formed out of a protoplanetary disk of gas and dust that was orbiting the central protostar that would later become the sun. The sun and the planets all formed at roughly the same time.
You'd rather believe that it was random chance when the planet that used to be, and now is the moon, randomly smashed into our planet, which caused the moon to exist, which affected the tides, which is where the first strands of DNA mixed, which is where we (eventually) came from?
I'd rather not be so arrogant as to believe that we're that important. A large collision is hardly unbelievable anyway. Collisions were common during the solar system's early formation. That one of them happened to cause a planet to have an unusually large moon is not surprising in the least.
You'd believe that all of that was... an accident?
Yes. It's wonderful and beautiful and true and I don't feel the need to cheapen the whole thing by making it the whim of some omnipotent intangible entity that goes out of its way to be indistinguishable from blind chance.

If you wanted a family restaurant, your family would pool together some money and buy a small building to start the restaurant. How do you think most of the rich started out? You start small and slowly get bigger. All chain stores started with just one store. Hell, Steve Jobs got started by messing with computers as a kid/young teen in his garage then building some and selling them with his friends. If you think it's unfair that people with money can do things like start a businees that's stupid. Save money up and invest it in the stock market. There are tons of ways to get money and it always involves money. Think of the lottery. They don't just hand anyone who asks a ticket. You spend money in hope of more money. It's risk/reward and it can sometimes be VERY rewarding. If you get a job it's not always going to be within walking distance. What do you do? You buy a bike or a car so that you'll be able to get to it. You just spent money so that you can make money. This can apply to most things.

What is the point of Minecraft? Mining and Crafting, right? Why do you do these things? To better yourself. Now let's talk about it from a SMP view. You first spawn on a server and immediately get some wood and start mining. You get some coal and a little iron. Not bad. You build your wooden house near some of the other players and go to bed for the night. In the morning it's time for some more mining. Soon you have enough iron for some armor. (safety first) Within a few days you have a full set, an iron sword, and a few bars of gold. You feel proud of yourself. Then it happens. A new player joins and is having a hard time starting out. You go to hand him some spare iron bars as a friendly gesture when the moderator says in chat that everyone can only mine in the new public mine from now on. Not wanting to **** him off you give the new player some iron then head to the public mine.
You work your butt off all day and you've got to admit, the mine is looking pretty good. Everyone seems pretty enthusiastic about working as a team. Except the new guy is just napping in the corner. At the end of the day he has a few pieces of coal and one iron ingot that he only mined after it was found by you. The moderator asks everyone to pool together their resources and then divide it equally. You did the best in the group with 17 iron ores and 31 pieces of coal. In total the group had 5 miners who got a total of 64 iron ores and 97 pieces of coal. You all get 10 pieces of iron and 15 pieces of coal and the moderator takes the remaining 14 iron and 22 pieces of coal. That night you thought about what had happened. You did great! You all did! But you got the same amount of resources as everyone else...even the new guy. It just didn't seem right to you. Perhaps your ignorant mother, Freedom235, was wrong after all.

...Nice name.
Do they take their shirts off after scoring a goal like in Men's soccer? :smile.gif:

Of course! Who needs a ban hammer when you've got a huge log of wood to beat the crap out of any evil-doers!
