The Christian God exists (4)

I will be basing my arguments primarily on logic and science. You stated that your arguments are against the "Christian God". Christians believe that there is only one God and that He is the "Supreme Being". That has been defined as "that which there can be nothing greater", or the "greatest being". Logically the greatest being MUST exist. Of all the buildings in the world only ONE can be “the tallest building in the world”. Of all the men that exist in the world only ONE can be “the strongest man in the world”, even if no one knows who he is. In the same way of all the beings that exist within the universe only ONE can be “the greatest being in the universe” and of all the beings that do exist inside or outside of the universe only ONE can be “the greatest being in or out of the universe whether they be physical or non-corporal”. Therefore logically the “Supreme Being” or “that which there can be nothing greater” must in fact exist. Please note that I am not using Anselm’s argument of “the best that can be imagined” but rather the more practical argument of “the best that actually is”. Christians BELIEVE this Being to be a Triune God made up of the three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We believe Him to be transcendent (not a part of the universe), immanent (involved in the affairs of the world), omnipotent (capable of doing all that He wills to do that is not self-contradicting), omnipresent, omnibenevolent, omniscient (having all knowledge), and the creator of the universe. Certainly we may be wrong in that assessment. .. the "Supreme Being" inside or outside the universe could be Fred, the guy who picks up my recycling on Thursdays and who has no special attributes at all. But an the examination of the universe, its form and structure, that life sprang from the non-living and intelligence sprang from the non-intelligent, the huge list of "outside the normal" events both past and present, and even the fulfilled prophesies found in texts which we call "Sacred" have proved to theists that the Supreme Being must have these attributes. I understand that you can obviously argue that the Supreme Being does not have these qualities, but the fact remains that the Supreme or "greatest" Being MUST logically exist. And please note that the debate is NOT about whether or not the Supreme Being has these qualities, but rather whether or not He exists. I have logically proved that He must. Recent scientific studies can also be seen to be on my side in this. Last year two different studies were released which if treated logically together can be seen to be a strong indication of the existence of God. The first was a study released in the premier scientific journal “Icarus”. The scientists involved were studying a problem brought to them by SETI. What it concludes is that terrestrial DNA was in fact “intelligently designed”. . http://www.sciencedirect.com... As a result there are only two logical conclusions: either our DNA was programmed by an alien intelligence from within our universe, or that the programming was done by a supernatural intelligence from beyond our universe. Also note that the code is not designed simply to pass along biological date but non-biological information as well. The last sentence of the abstract above reads: ”Overall, while the code is nearly optimized biologically, its limited capacity is used extremely efficiently to pass non-biological information. ” The second study also released last year was the result of a three year study by Oxford University in 20 different nations. It concluded that humans are in fact PREprogrammed to believe in God and in an afterlife. . http://www.ox.ac.uk... It basically is stating that to believe in God is as much a part of human nature as breathing is. History and anthropology have proved that man has sought God from the very beginning of the species. So this is not some sort of learned behavior that was passed on, but rather something encoded in our DNA. When you take this study with the first one I think it is clear to see the logical implications. Of the two choices give us as the result of the “intelligent design” of our DNA in the first study, alien race or supernatural intelligence, the far more likely becomes the supernatural intelligence. Likewise the first study showed that non-biological information could be passed along. The second study shows that to believe in God was a part of our DNA. This is non-biological information. So we are left with one question concerning an alien species doing the programming: Why would an incredibly advanced alien species program us to believe in a God which they themselves did not believe in? As a result in either case it strongly affirms the existence of God, or the Supreme Being.
