God is real

At first, I'd like to state that my opponent has attempted to damage and shape my image in this debate saying that if I do not believe in God, I consequently have a high possibility of believing in the Big Bang. He also states that I NEED a scientific reason to believe in how we began to exist, since "God doesn't cut it to me", and that "it all happened spontaneously with no reason". Well, to get started with, no, I do not believe in the Big Bang theory and I do not need to. Even though, mate, it did not happen with no reason. It is a theory in which the whole Universe was initially extremely small and with an absurd high density and temperature. Then, the Universe NATURALLY started to expand and from ever since it has been constantly expanding. [1] It does not mean it was without reason. It has a reason: its nature. Scientists do not "turn a blind eye to it and proclaim that's what really happened" as you claim, and cannot do so, as it is a THEORY. Theories are possibilities, not assurances. After all, theories are theories because they have not been yet proved. God is a theory as well, no different from the Big Bang. I do not need to argue or prove how everything started existing; I am here to defend the view that God doesn't exist. About God speaking to us in flesh, who can assure that what is written in the Bible is true? It started to be written long before Christ; that is more than 2000 years ago. In this process, many European explorers and catholics have interpreted and changed the book as they desired to preach to the native-americans in the New World. And that was around 1500 A.D. forth. Contrary to what God's supposed son, Jesus Christ, there is no historical proof that Jesus actually did miracles as it is written in the Bible. You stated that "the sad part is that people often confuse evolution for adaptation". Oh, I'm sorry. So the seasonal vaccine for flu is not because of the evolution & adaptation of the virus to defeat the antibodies, but a useless act. You don't get used and adapted to external situations, like frequenting a new ambient everyday or living in extremely cold places like Russia and hot places like India. Everything is new to you always, is that right? Well, I guess not. Using the same reference you did, I found the sentence from the author "Scientists know we didn't actually evolve from modern monkeys, but the evidence we have suggests that we have the same ancestor that they do". Same ancestors = same origin. That already makes your argument invalid. Also in the same website: "A second line of evidence comes from looking at the bodies of modern animals. If we look at any primate, we will find exactly the same bones, even in primates that spend all of their time in the trees. We have many other similarities, some you can see on the outside, some are internal, and some are biochemical. We can use a variety of tests to see them. For example, if you compare DNA (what is DNA?), you will find that about 98% of our DNA code is just like that of chimpanzees. The other 2% is what makes us different from them". Read your sources. DNA is part of our genetic materials, indeed, but that is no proof of the existence of a God. It surely makes us think a powerful being might have done these intelligent connections, but it does not prove someone did do it. What if it was all a coincidence, after many occasions in which the Universe happened to produce life in its infinite explosions and cosmic rays, but it was never intelligent enough to survive, and that now it did actually happen to be intelligent? Or what if we are atoms (Solar System might be an atom itself with Sun as the nucleus and planets as electrons) of another being's muscular tissue? It could be anything, but no one can prove it, unfortunately. I never claimed I believe in popular rumors as true, so it is indelicate of your part to accuse me of such. People from human history used to believe that above the clouds there was Heaven, and below ground there was Hell. That was absolute for the people, as everyone believed in this. With scientific advances, we found out that below ground there was water, gases, microorganisms, different types of grains that compose varieties of soils, and that above the clouds there were layers of gas which had an importance in keeping our atmosphere safe, like protection from UV rays provided by ozone, and even space!. In short, it has been proven as a lie. Authorities lied then, they haven't changed much. So if I can't trust a scientist which has a certificate meaning he studied about the subject, why should I trust a missionary which follows what an old, modified book tells? The interpretation of God varies from religion to religion. What is your view of God? Evangelic? Catholic? Islamic? Adventist? Muslim? Jewish? God differs in personality, depending on the religion. Even if you don't have one, the sources available only explain of God in the point of view of a religion, as God can change completely from a view to another. Which one is your God? To believe in God as a possibility for salvation is an old idea. It's called Pascal's Wager.[2] "To believe in God is better, because it gives you a chance of being saved, rather than being atheist and having 100% chance of being doomed in a positive case" is a sentence that resumes the idea. But the question is: in which God? How do I know if the Muslims' God is the real one or the Catholics'? It's impossible in this age, as we are too far from the age in which the Bible was written. Perhaps you don't even use the Bible, but the Al-Quran or the Torah. Even though, neither of these books bring us complete assurance that God does exist. As I have asked Pro in the very beginning, he should not take this into a personal, but a scientific manner. Pro is using pejorative means to harm me directly and personally, especially in the conclusion of his Round 2 argument, as he calls me an ignorant for being an atheist. Pro, I ask again, please cease from using such terms. I respect your right to practice a religion, so please respect mine not to do so. I hope our Round 3 will be better as, hopefully, there will be mutual respect from both parties this time. Thank you. References: [1] http://www.ugcs.caltech.edu... [2] https://en.wikipedia.org...
