God Probably Does Not Exist

Introduction My opponent just copy and pasted stuff from websites and asks me to explain it... that is hardly a sufficient debate round. Also, Con's argument at best support some kind of intelligent designer, or some other type of God; not necessarily the God specifically defined in this debate. Therefore, even if all of Con's arguments succeed, if my arguments from the last round remain standing; Con loses. He has yet to touch on my arguments as of yet. I will respond to my opponent's arguments, but not because I have to. The Big Bang And a Cause Con's source is to a website making page, not a credible scientific website. Therefore, we can disregard my opponent's quote. I actually had sources from NASA to support The Big Bang; which is way more credible than anything my opponent brought to the table. Also, matter bumps into eachother and can change direction of any spin, plus the total energy of the universe is zero (whether closed or flat) [1][2]. This is because all the positive energy in the universe is balanced out perfectly by negative energy. Thus, if we have zero energy and no universe; the net energy never changes even with the production of the universe. Therefore, the law of conservation of energy is never violation by this type of event. "[T]he universe could have originated spontaneously out of 'nothing'. This sounds like a very strange proposition for a physicist to make because we know that there are conservation laws... energy is conserved. So, usually, this means that if you have nothing you cannot have something because that takes energy. However, it turns out that if you have a closed universe where the space closes in on itself...the gravitational energy which is always negative exactly compensates the positive energy of matter. So, the energy of a closed universe is always zero, and then nothing prevents this universe from being spontaneously created." - Professor of Physics, Alexander Vilenkin[3] My opponent talks about a cause of the universe. However, all causes we know of come before their effects in time. Why think there was a cause of the universe, if the start of the universe was also the start of time itself? Also, there are theories in which no cause is needed, like Alexander Vilenkin's quantum tunnelling model: "As a result of the tunnelling event, a finite-sized universe, filled with a false vacuum, pops out of nowhere ("nucleates") and immediately starts to inflate...What could have caused the tunnelling? Remarkably, the answer is that no cause is required." - Professor of Physics, Alexander Vilenkin[4] The Earth The Earth is not perfect. It is filled with disease, hurricanes that destroy, tsunamis, tornadoes, a natural law of "eat or be eaten" in the wild... I could go on, but Earth is far from perfect. Also, why is Earth so right for life? The answer is; pure chance. There is Billions of planets in our galaxy alone, and billions of galaxies in the known universe. The odds that at least one would be right for life is extremely high. If there was only one planet, then that would be evidence of intelligent design. Jesus If Jesus was God's son, then Jesus would be supernatural. Why think Jesus is God's son though? Heaven There are many explanations for Near Death Experiences that don't involve the supernatural[5] DNA "Natural, biological causes are completely lacking as an explanation when programmed information is involved. You cannot find instruction, precise information like this, without someone intentionally constructing it." - Con Con is confusing instruction with a function. Just because something carries out a complex function, that implies intelligence none. Natural Selection explains this just fine. Conclusion Con's arguments don't actually support the God as I specifically defined. Also, ALL of my arguments from my first round were left without answer. Thus, they stand; God probably does not exist. Sources [1] http://news.softpedia.com... [2] http://arxiv.org...
