It is improbable that God exists.

Also, welcome to debate. org. ==Opening Arguments==I. Divine hiddeness A. Observations There are many more Muslims than Christians than Saudi Arabia, many more Catholics in Ireland than Vietnam, and a very small ratio of Theists to pagans two and a half thousand years ago. If one were to be in Saudi Arabia, one has a greater chance of becomming Muslim than in America. [1] If one were to be in India, there would be a greater chance of being Hindu than in any other part of the world. [2] There are more Catholics in Ireland than in Vietnam. etc. In the ancient world, every nation had its own mythology. [3] It rather seems strange that God will let an important matter such as faith hinge strongly on the circumstance of one's birth. For example, in Christian theology, unless you accept Jesus you die and go to hell. [4] This begs the question, why would a loving God as defined in the terms allow this to happen? B. The argument formulated The demographics of Theism are better explained by Atheism than Theism. If the demographics of Theism are better explained by Atheism than Theism, then the demographics of Theism makes Atheism more plausible than Theism. Therefore, Atheism is more plausible than Theism. Here is a map of this argument: [5] One of the main arguments for orthodox Judaism is that G-d given a national revelation. However, this begs the question why he couldn't have given a world-wide revelation. This is indeed fishy. II. God is incoherent To make matters worse for God, he is incoherent. What do I mean by incoherence? I mean that God has contradictory attributes. Any being with contradictory attributes cannot exist. A. The argument formulated. (1) Any being with contradictory attributes cannot exist. (2) God has contradictory attributes. (C) Therefore, God cannot exist. By premise 1, I do not mean that extraordinary objects cannot exist; rather, I mean that anything that is self-contradictory cannot exist. A contradiction is defined as a logical incompatibility between two ore more propositions. [6] B. Defending the argumenti) Free will-vs. -Omnipotence The Christian God is defined as a personal being who knows everything. Personal beings have free will. Therefore, God has free will. However, this causes a contradiction. In order to have free will, you must have more than one option, each of which is avoidable. This means that before you make a choice, there must be a state of uncertainty during the period of potential: you cannot know the future. Even if you think you can predict your decision, if you claim to have free will, you must admit the potential to chance your mind. A being that knows everything has no "state of uncertainty. " It knows its choices in advance. This means that it has no potential to avoid its choices and hence lacks free will. Therefore, because God allegedly has free will and is all knowing, he cannot exist. [6] Conclusion:1) The demographics of Theism makes Atheism more plausible2) Because God has contradictory attributes, he cannot exist. Thank you. Good luck :-) Notes and References 1.
