On balance of probability, there is a God.

Thank you so much for your superb conduct. (Voters, give con the conduct point). ==Introduction==My partner has provided three basis of arguments for his non-belief in God. First, he has presented Drange's Argument from Non-belief; second is the demographics of Theism, and finally is the Problem of Evil. As we shall see, my partner's arguments fail on several levels. To demonstrate each point, I will use Jewish theology for my belief and rebuttals, as I feel Jewish theology accurately refutes all of my partners arguments. ==Rebuttals==Divine Hiddeness Rebutals to observations:1-2) In Judaism, we do not have a vast eternal punishment for one that disbelieves. Likewise, we do not believe that one must convert to Judaism in order to have a place in the world to come. [1]3) Indeed, God does desire to have a relationship with each and every one of us. Gentiles to can find a relationship with God. [2]Refuting the Syllogism1) If God exists, inculpable non-belief does not exist.1. What is the basis of this claim?2. How does one determine "inculpable non-belief?" 2) Inculpable non-belief does occur1. How does one determine this? Likewise, one can say that inculpable non-belief does not occur!2. What "evidence" would it take for one to convince you of G-d's existence? More refutations [3] 1. Bias Human beings are often biased towards a certain viewpoint. Sometimes, this bias gets in the way of an objective analysis of the evidence. Whatever is the cause, it is possible that those who claim that they have been provided with insufficent evidence are merely biased regarding to the evidence that they have. 2. Anger Sometimes a person may be unsatisfied with the way things are going in their life and they feel that, if God existed, He should do something about it. Perhaps they are upset that somebody they care for died. Anger can often consume an individual and get in the way of rational thought. This could lead to an unjustified rejection of the evidence for God’s existence.3. What counts as "evidence"?As I stated earlier, this argument begs the question as to what counts as "evidence." Problem of Evil 1) If God exists, unjustified evil does not exist.2) Unjustified evil does exist.3) God does not exist. In his book Guide for the Perplexed, Maimonidies wrote that all bad that exists within humans are a matter of the individual's attributes, but all the merits of humanity are due to their general characteristic.[4] According to Maimonadies, there are three types of evil in the world: Evil caused by nature; Evil that humans bring upon others; and Evil brought upon one self. One cannot blame God on evil that humans purposefully bring upon others and one that brings evil upon oneself. Matt Slick explains the PoE like this [5]: How can it be established that unnecessary suffering occurs? What criteria would anyone use to establish what is unnecessary suffering? God can certainly have reasons for allowing suffering to occur in the world: As a demonstration of the effects of sin in the world. As a demonstration of the effects of rebellion against him. As a means by which sin is shown to be bad. As a means by which people can learn to depend on him. etc. Simply stating that unnecessary suffering occurs does not mean that it is so. Christian theology states that suffering is a result of sin in the world. This is the result of Adam's free choice and the effect of sin upon his descendents and the world. All suffering is then the necessary consequence of this sin. Onto con!==Notes and Sources==1. We cal these the "righteous gentiles" who uphold the Noahic covanent. For more, see the book The Path to the Righteouss Gentile. 2. The biggest proof for this comes from the book of Jonah. Note that most rabbinical commentaries place Islam and Christianity as valid faith systems for gentiles to get to God. 3. http://www.skepticalchristian.com...;4. http://en.wikipedia.org...;5. http://carm.org...;6. http://carm.org...;
