The Existence of God

I thank atheistman for the opportunity to debate, and hope the best for him. I shall be playing devil's advocate, so this should be fun. ============================================================================ Arguments ============================================================================ Contention 1: Kalam Cosmological Argument (KCA) P1. Everything that begins to exist has a cause. This premise is basically, given. There is no evidence, scientific or otherwise, that something has come out of nothing. I don't feel the need to delve much further into this premise, as I assume my opponent will accept it. P2. The universe began to exist. It is impossible for an actual infinite to exist. Since the universe has currently reached now, and it is impossible to count from negative infinity to now, then it is safe to conclude that infinity does not exist. The above statements are probably all for naught though, because I assume my opponent agrees with the Big Bang. The Big Bang states the universe started with the Big Bang [1], which means the universe is not infinite. Conclusion - the universe has a beginning. P3. Therefore, the universe must have a cause. Since everything that begins to exist has a cause (1), and the universe began to exist (2), then we can conclude that the universe must have a cause. C. The cause is God. My opponent's objection to this conclusion would be that since I posited that everything needs a cause in P1, then God needs a cause. However, God exists outside of time. Since God exists outside of time, he is not bound by any laws of the universe or any restrictions thereof. Contention 2: Watchmaker argument. "In crossing a heath, suppose I pitched my foot against a stone and were asked how the stone came to be there, I might possibly answer that for anything I knew to the contrary it had lain there forever; nor would it, perhaps, be very easy to show the absurdity of this answer. But suppose I had found a watch upon the ground, and it should be inquired how the watch happened to be in that place, I should hardly think of the answer which I had before given, that for anything I knew the watch might have always been there." ~William Paley 1. A complex object like a watch necessitates a designer. --->The designer is a human. 2. A complex object like the universe necessitates a designer. --->The designer is God. C. God exists. Contention 3: Teleological argument. 1. The fine-tuning of the universe is due to either physical necessity, chance, or design. 2. It is not due to physical necessity or chance. 3. Therefore, it is due to design. C. The designer is God. Contention 4: Fine-tuning argument. Basically, if the universe was off by just a little bit, then we would not exist. The physicist P.C.W. Davies if the weak force had been different by 1 part in 10 raised to the 100th power our universe would not be life permitting. [http://books.google.com...] These odds are just astounding. This kind of preciseness implies an intelligent designer - God. ============================================================================ Conclusion ============================================================================ Sorry for the (bad/short) arguments, I'm running short on time. I look forward to the rebuttals.
