Religion is incorrect

You're right, I misspoke about the Vilenkin-Guth-Borde experiment. It did only debunk that the universe had an infinite span. The quote you used from Alexander Vilenkin seems to be out of context, so I cannot know what he said to support that argument. Fortunately you provided me with another quote from Vilenkin using your sources. :) "It is said that an argument is what convinces reasonable men and a proof is what it takes to convince even an unreasonable man. With the proof now in place, cosmologists can no longer hide behind the possibility of a past-eternal universe. There is no escape, they have to face the problem of a cosmic beginning. "Another interesting fact is that many theists use his books to support their arguments of everything coming into being from "complete nothingness"But I'm not going to touch on science anymore. My head hurts and I really don't need to touch on science anyway, since philosophy supports my argument more anyway. By the way, I'll leave out the Objective Moral Argument. You handled that one pretty well, and there is always the possibility that evolution somehow could've caused its existence. I never really liked that argument much anyway. And yes, haha, I forgot to add last round that you are correct. If God created good he did create evil and every major atrocity that has ever occurred. But that makes the world interesting, doesn't it? And I can't answer why he made you an atheist. Maybe he knew you would meet me and I would convert you. .. haha just kidding. Ontological Argument Revisited Your magical panda bears analogy doesn't make much sense and has no relevance to the argument. The argument argues that if a perfect being were indeed possible to exist, it must exist, because existence is a quality of perfection. So if a maximally great being even could exist, which you even stated that it is true that a maximally great being could exist, then he must exist. Fine Tuning & Contingency Argument Revisited But much like a god, it is extremely unlikely. You stated that God is extremely unlikely, yet the universe says otherwise. As I explained before, the cosmological constants show that the universe is very precise. It is very unlikely that it all occurred by chance. I just want to show my analogy again, because it's still amazing to me how crazy this is. Cover the entire North American continent in dimes all the way up to the moon, a height of about 239,000 miles (In comparison, the money to pay for the U. S. federal government debt would cover one square mile less than two feet deep with dimes. ). Next, pile dimes from here to the moon on a billion other continents the same size as North America. Paint one dime red and mix it into the billions of piles of dimes. Blindfold a friend and ask him to pick out one dime. The odds that he will pick the red dime are one in 10^37. This also ties into the Contingency Argument. It is still a possibility that the universe under different circumstances could not exist. The mere fact that it does exist (and exist at such perfect specifications) must have a cause. Even if the universe has always been here and never had a beginning, it still owes its existence to a cause. Kalam Cosmological Argument Revisited This argument is related to the argument from contingency in that it still shows that universe must have had a cause for its existence. There is no way around this. There was a beginning, therefore it has a cause; a God or deity. Summary My opponent has tried to debunk the existence of God stating that the universe could have existed with the absence of a God, and that the existence of a God is very unlikely, which is false. Most of the above science is based on hypotheses and contains many gaps (religious texts do too, but that's not what we're arguing, lol) Philosophy and logic, however, do not. There's an old quote by my favorite economist, Murray Rothbard:". .. statistics cannot refute logic. " So logically, there must have been a God, or a deity to create the initial cause for our universe. Thank you for this argument.
