Occam's Razor can successfully defend the existence of God

I'll be arguing god is the opposite of Occam's Razor and furthermore the god of Abraham can't logically exist. Pro has 2 points:1. God is the simplest explanation2. Everything must have a causeOn The KCA: KCA(first cause): This is a terribly presumptuous argument. It presumes:1. Everything has a cause2. The universe has a cause3. The universe has a transcendent causeAxiom 1 is false. In quantum physics particles come in and out of existence with no cause. Axiom 2 might be true. I will elaborate on axiom two in my discussion of plausible cosmological models. Axiom 3 is so absurd that it ISN'T EVEN FALSE. One could never know if the universe has the transcendent cause; it isn't even testable. This violates Occam's razor. If it is true everything has a cause and the universe has a cause, then why can' the universe be the cause of its self. Saying the universe has a transcendent cause raises unneeded questions that CAN'T EVER BE ANSWERED. Axiom 3 does not follow from 1 and 2. Christianity/ Theism Is A Poor Cosmological Model:Theistic Cosmology basically states god created the universe. This is not a good cosmological because it is excessive and it not testable. It also makes no predictions and this is because there is an infinite degree of flexibilty. Any theist could just say "god made the universe that way". Theism's series is as follows: X(god) --> X -->Y (universe). A much more simple and rational series is: X(universe)-->X. (assuming there is a cause). Self Contained Models Of The Universe:-The Oscillating UniverseThis is a self-contained model in which the universe evolves from a big bang, then expands and expands and then collapses upon it's self and then re-expands. This model is perfectly self-contained and no god is needed. -Hartle HawkingA boundless self contained universe model in which a creator is unneeded. QET:-Any universe that is described by quantum mechanics with non-zero energy and a time independent Hamiltonian is eternal in both arrows of time. The point isn't that any of these are the right model, rather that there are self contained models. semantic Incoherence:God in the Christian religion is defined as: Omniscient, omnipotent, omni-benevolence, immaterial, volitional. These are mutual attributes. Lets first examine free will(volitional) and omniscience. A. If god is omniscient then he knows everything. B. If he knows everything then he knows his own future. C. If he absolutely knows his own future then he can not change it(because he would have known he would change it, thus being apart of his original plan). D. Therefor god can not be omniscient and volitional. God's actions are determined. -Omnipresence and eternality/ infinite being:It is also agreed that god is eternal and given god has omnipresence, it follows that god has been present everywhere forever. It is accepted that the universe has existed for thirteen point seven billion years, but given god is eternal, god existed prior to that. However it is also accepted that there was nothing before the universe, so it follows that god was present everywhere when nothing existed. It logically follows at that time god was nothing. This is often avoided by saying god exists outside of space time. For this to be the case, the word exist would have to be used in a way that is completely different from its usual definition. If one was to say god existed before time, it is the same as saying god existed for no unit of time, and in the general usage of the word exist, if something exists for no unit of time, it doesn't or didn't exist. In regards to space, the same problem arises; if god was to exist before space, it is the same as saying he existed in no space, and consequently if something exists no space, it does not actually exist. It can still exist as an abstract concept, such as numbers, but the definition of god is that god actually exists. The implications of god's omnipresence is contradictory to the concept of god. Hell and Omnibenevolence:Hell is a huge problem. Now I will concede that if my agnostic atheism has harmed anybody, or caused me to harm anybody and god thinks I need to be punished, then fine, but not forever. The point of a punishment is to bring about more well being for the individual later. What greater good can possibly come from someone being in hell forever? NONE. "God has all wisdom. He works everything out for the good of his people ", obviously not, because eternal suffering is to no one's greater good. What does this say about the character of individuals in heaven? They can manage to enjoy themselves, while countless people burn in agony. Let's add god's omniscience. An infinite amount of years ago god was aware of your birth, death and fate. Propose you end up in hell, god knew this for all eternity, yet he let you be born, only to suffer, and yet he is going to fault you, even though he knew you would reject him. This is not a characteristic of an omni-benevolent god. The problem of evil:God exists. God is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent. An omnibenevolent being would want to prevent all evils. An omniscient being knows every way in which evils can come into existence. An omnipotent being has the power to prevent that evil from coming into existence. A being who knows every way in which an evil can come into existence, who is able to prevent that evil from coming into existence, and who wants to do so, would prevent the existence of that evil. If there exists an omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent God, then no evil exists. Evil exists (logical contradiction). Evil and god as described by theism can not logically co-exist. Gratuitous evil possess an even bigger problem. Babies born with cancer is no one's free will, it naturally occurs. How can one reconcile this? NOthe watch maker and design:Now the watch maker argument assumes design is an apparent attribute one would assume. If there's a watch, someone who knows what a watch is would infer design, but one with no concept of a watch, would most likely conclude that the watch is naturally there. Also how do you come to the conclusion the universe is designed. We have not experienced other universes to compare it to. With the argument from design you encounter an infinite regression. If anything with intelligence comes from prior intelligence, then god must have been designed. Is god not intelligent? It is absurd to argue everything intelligent comes from prior intelligence but the most intelligent being conceivable doesn't. -On low probability events and chance,Any single event can take an infinite set of infinite sets of probabilities. Given probability is on a scale from 0-100, but between these is an infinite set of infinite sets of probabilities it is impossible for an event to fall outside of this range. Any event can naturally happen. Low probability DOES NOT mean impossible. Supernaturalism. . The universe or multiverse or omniverse is all that there seems to be. Given we live in a natural world, and experience events in this natural world, we should expect natural causes for events in this natural world. If an event occurs and a natural cause is not found, it can be we don't yet know the cause or that there is not a cause(which is possible via quantum physics. However let's propose that there is a supernatural cause; is that even comprehensible? We live in a natural world, and all events we experience take place in this world, so if there is a cause outside of the natural world, it would have to come into the natural world to cause anything, does it then follow that it becomes a natural cause? Yes. If there was a supernatural cause, you couldn't know.

He must demonstrate everything needs a cause despite quantum physics. He must figure out some way to detect the super natural.
