Of course, all real forms of science exist because God created them in the first place.
You can't have Absolutes without an absolute being that has always existed.

Religion was made by man for comfort. Science has always existed.

[quote]Of course, all real forms of science exist because God created them in the first place.[/quote] How do you know this? [quote]You can't have Absolutes without an absolute being that has always existed.[/quote] I don't understand what you're saying here.

Edited by angry0lbgrampa: 7/30/2013 3:54:13 AMYou cannot have laws of science if they were not put in place by an Omnipotent being. Things don't just exist, or come into existence randomly, they have to be created by something. The laws were always there, we simply had to discover them.

[quote]You cannot have laws of science if they were not put in place by an Omnipotent being.[/quote] That statement has absolutely no basis. What about physical constants and laws demand that they be initially "created" by an omnipotent deity? There's no reason to suppose that idea. [quote]Things don't just exist, or come into existence randomly, they have to be created by something.[/quote] "Created?" No. Caused? Better. Again, the presumption that the universe necessitates a deity as a starting point is unsubstantiated, it's an invalid claim.
-
the likelihood of caused is much less likely than created. I prefer to take the sure deal when it comes to my bets.

Again, there's nothing that suggests that is the case.

Don't try to use math/science to prove the existence of god. If you believe in a god, just say you have faith there is something greater than you

Edited by Mad Max: 7/30/2013 4:20:38 AMSo, because you find it mathematically unlikely, that means God did it? You have nothing to support that claim.

The math is on the side of God, so I choose him.

There's nothing to suggest that is the case.

Actually, the probability of evolution and the big bang was 1.

Do you even know how probability works...

[quote]Do you even know how probability works...[/quote][quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Mister Math[/quote]

Yes. And considering there was no alternative to the big bang/evolution (on the basis that it, well, happened), if we assume determinism. Assuming determinism, if we ran repeated trials of the universe, it would end up exactly the same each time (including evolution and the big bang). Therefore, evolution and the big bang have a probability of 1. Perhaps your instinct here is to appeal to quantum indeterminacy. Keep in mind, however, that these quantum effects average out on the macro scale and so the quantum indeterminacy has negligible macroscopic effect. So I guess in this case I can only claim that these probabilities are really, really close to 1. Oh well.

Edited by Winy: 7/30/2013 5:57:55 PMHalf of these "parameters" are either: A. Absolutely not rare whatsoever, which makes your inclusion of them as astounding "parameters" completely moot. Or: B. Completely irrelevant to a system's ability to safely harbor life Furthermore, all that you did was list an enormous amount of astronomical terms, each of which can have direct affect (Or, in some cases, none at all) on various end results such as the composition and development of things completely uninteresting or philosophically dull. I could easily put up a just-as, if not more, lengthy list of concepts and say "Hey, if none of [i]these[/i] things happened, this [b]rock[/b] wouldn't be the same color!"

Would you kindly a) stop responding to things I didn't say and b) making stupidly long posts in order to appeal to emotion, and instead make an actual logical argument for the existence of God? You know, ones with explicit premises, syllogisms, and conclusions?
