Re: The Mathematical Proof of the existence of God
I have long been anti-theist, and have found some good arguements against the existence of god.
As for the original post, yes, the possibility of existence is inf:1,
meaning that it is infinitely more probable that we wouldn't exist than existing.
That said, and try to stay with me here;
If any of those other infinite instances were the case, then we wouldn't exist, and therefore could not come to this query.
Say there are parallel universes, one for each infinite amount of universes possible. The fact is that there is only one that is ours compared to the infinite amount that aren't - that doesn't prove that god exists, that just proves that our unlikeliness is overwhelming.
Another thing is the 'big bang' and the theory that something had to set it off. Some who will accept the big bang will then say that God put it in motion.
Here's the catch;
1) The Atheist says the Big Bang is the start of the universe.
2) The Religious man says something had to start it, and that was God.
3) Now, if the big bang happened, and God had to start it, where'd God come from?
Now, you can say that "God didn't come from anything," or was "always there," or etc. etc. But now, why can't that same reasoning be applied to the Big Bang or the Universe as is?
Now, taking another probability point;
If you are in one religion and you believe it to be the right one, and there are countless religions on this earth and they believe to be correct, what is the probability of being born into the right religion?
