God Exists

PrefaceCon begins by contended with my "no appeals to probability" clause in relation to "inductive reasoning." While I understand his concern, he should have clarified this with me before accepting the debate as I recommended. He also asks if I define God as omnipotent or omni-benevolent. I do not define God in terms of "omni" as certain objections may be easily raised against such a position. For me it is sufficient to say He is the most powerful being in the universe given that He is the very one who created and sustains it. For the purpose of this debate I would refrain from any reference toward His character, such as benevolence, as this is irrelevant to the proposition of His existence as Creator God. It is also inarguable as morality would be defined by Him as the standard by which He judges. Again, if this was such a concern for Con, he ought to have messaged me in the comment section beforehand. Thus definitions and the structure of this debate will remain as is.IntroductionI thank my opponent for accepting this debate and look forward to a fruitful and engaging exchange. I will be arguing for the existence of a Creator God based on quantum mechanics and genetic bioinformatics. My aim is to provide a succinct and understandable argument from each of these fields of science to which I will expand and defend as necessary.Argument from Quantum MechanicsAtoms are the simplest building block of all that exists within the universe. Within these tiny atoms are three basic particles: protons, neutrons and electrons. While electrons are an elementary particle which cannot be broken down further, protons and neutrons are two composite subatomic particles made up of quarks. These fundamental particles have various charges which account for their mathematically defined interactions with one another.Quarks are elementary particles which exhibit all four fundamental forces mediated by four separate particles: gluons which carry the strong force, bosons which carry the weak force, photons which carry the electromagnetic force, and gravitons (only theoretical) which carries the gravitational force. Of the three known mediating particles, gluons, bosons and photons, all exhibit interactions with the quarks based on the properties of their flavor, namely, mass, spin, color charge and electric charge.These intrinsic properties built into nature define the extent of their interaction with the particles which mediate the fundamental forces inherent in the nature of our physical universe. Since this interaction is based on a mathematical language, without which, all atoms would be impossible, the very existence of atoms suggests unequivocally that God exists.Argument from Genetic BioinformaticsDNA serves as the blueprint for every creature's phenotype. Since DNA is a language system in which communication occurs between a sender and receiver, it can rightfully be said to contain true information. In the function of the genome within living cells we find statistics in the form of four letters which are cosyntactically organized to give the semantic meaning for transcription and translation. The semantic meaning encoded in the genome is pragmatically utilized in the formation of proteins and thus integral to the process of replication which is a part of the apobetic, or intended goal of the digital code.Information intrinsically depends upon an original act of intelligence to construct it, therefore the information seen in living cells testifies to having been originally created by an intelligent Creator. Note that this argument is not based upon the inability for naturalistic/statistical processes alone to account for the formation of genetic information, but rather my case is built upon what we do know about genetic code and function. Therefore this is not a god-of-the-gaps argument, as the claim is based on observation. Note also that this is not an argument from complexity but from specified universal information. To refute my case is actually quite a simple task; one must only need demonstrate a single case where universal information, of the type seen in genetic code, is derived entirely from purely material sources.ConclusionI look forward to Con's response. I will provide references as necessary in the following rounds. Both my arguments are dependent on demonstrating the necessity of a sentient intelligence as the creative force behind all atomic structures and all life. Con must demonstrate why the linguistic information found in the mathematical properties which hold atoms together and in the genetic code which defines all life are either arbitrary or the product of some known, quantifiable natural phenomena. While I did not go into great detail as to how the linguistic properties are known as I do not want to get bogged down in technical explanations if my opponent if unwilling to properly address my claims, I will provide greater explanation as necessary in subsequent rounds.On to Con. . .
