Is there a God

Hello and I am grateful that you accepted this debate. I would first like to mention that I did not state a specific God, because I believe everyone of faith holds the same burden. When you believe in a God and accept the teachings of that God, whether it be a christian God, Allah, or any other type of celestial being you take a very difficult stand. You are essentially saying that you have chosen the correct God out of all the deities and religions that have ever been created. Unless you believe in Multiple religions which would be a fallacy, because almost every religion contradicts the next. I entirely agree that if a God does exist science could support the existence of said being. In fact many modern Christians and Catholics hold this belief. It is called theistic evolution. People who hold this belief, admit that evolution is a fact but go on to say that God guided the process. This also extends to what you mentioned, that God could have caused the big bang. I would first like to state as I mentioned earlier that it is impossible to disprove the existence of a God. To be able to to claim there is no God and prove so with absolute certainty you would have to be able to perform some type of test or experiment, which is impossible because religion is faith based. When you can not see a God, touch a God, or feel a God it turns into semantics. Trying to disprove a God would be the exact same thing as trying to argue that you have an imaginary friend. You can hold fast to the belief that he is there, and even claim that you know him personally but without being able to put variables into the equation then it is simply faith. Once you admit that you believe by faith, the argument is over because you are arguing due to personal experience and not facts. Now lets take a look at why we can draw a factual conclusion that a celestial entity does not exist. First if a God does exist, he must exist out of space and time(at least as we perceive it). Second he would have the ability to do anything he wants. In addition to the first two our Morality would stem from him(which is probably the strongest case to support a God). If there is a God, as most people view it, why would he create us. If there is a God why would he allow bad things to happen to people to have faith in him. Would he not reward them? Most of this argument is semantics due to there being no case to support it. The burden of proof stems further when you claim what you specially believe, whether it be Christian, Islam, Judaism or another other type of faith. Then one has to look at the claims that that specific God and religion makes. Bear in mind the point i made earlier as well, once you admit there is a God, you are saying that everyone who believes in a different type of God is wrong. Every person is an atheist in some regards. Christians are atheists in regards to every God but Christ. The same can be said about any other religion. Just through sheer probability and Odds, if someone can state that over 10 thousands deities and Gods are false, would the most logical answer not be just to take it one God further? We have proof we can exist without a God, through evolution, the big bang, and the entire theory of evolution. We are one of among many species whose sole purpose is to adapt and survive. Science has shown us how we can evolve, and how we live. It has shown us our purpose is to live and die. Due to evolution, we have received a conscious and emotions, that help us make our reason to live. Through this stems morality, world views, and cultures. To even think that we as humans were made to worship a God, in a way is very boisterous and self centered statement. With all the galaxies and planets that we know of, we tend to believe we are the center of the universe and everything points to the fact that we are just one more species. In short this whole argument can be finished with the idea that one has to first submit proof there is a God or the most rational and logical explanation is to believe there is not one. It is the same way we look at santa claus and the cookie monster. Until someone can show iron clad evidence to support it, all it can be is a hypothesis.
