There is a low enough probability for the existence of God to doubt his existence.

Well MYTN, we agreed on something! Debate IS tiring but you have to admit that it's more educational and mind expanding than sitting around watching Discovery channel all the time. It's like exercising your brain muscle once in a while. Thanks for hanging in there. We've been through the pros and cons now so let me sew it up. What we were debating about was you assertion that "There is a low enough probability for the existence of God to doubt his existence." I obviously disagree and am at the far opposite end of your scale. I believe that science has done an amazing job showing that there is a low enough probability that all this just happened by chance that we MUST attribute the universe and everything in it to a very real God. If God chose to, he could have created this universe and all life in it without any possibility of ever discovering anything about how it works. By that I mean that if he didn't want to be detectable through his creation he certainly could have made it so. I find it fascinating that not only did he leave his work open for investigation he also endowed us with the ability, even the drive, to discover him through his works. I also find it fascinating that he designed this place so well that no one can doubt his hand in creation while at the very same time he has made it impossible to both prove or disprove his existence. God allows us to approach and appreciate his work through science but he made sure that we cannot come into his presence without that one final step called "faith". Probability? Science is finding that all of "this" at the quantum level is nothing BUT probability. In the early days scientists found out through direct experimentation what they didn't know. These days, the bar is pushed out so far that scientists are faced with the impassible fence of the quantum level on one side and the impassible portal of the "Big Bang" singularity on the other. Not only do the laws of nature break down at these two ends of the universe so too does the scientific method. There are still many things to discover within these boundaries and discover them they will slowly, bit by bit. With each new discovery more questions and with each new question more discoveries; but science will never be able to prove nor disprove that God exists. I've listened to many debates and read several books on the contemporary arguments on both sides. It is incredible just how much science does know and yet discoveries always beget questions. Science (and Theists) always have and always will fall just short of proving or disproving God's existence. It simply can't be done because God designed it that way. I think that it would be very appropriate to ask God to end this debate in his own words spoken through the Apostle Paul in the Christian bible: Romans 1:20-22 For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities–his eternal power and divine nature–have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools.
