God exists

I'm going to briefly explain again just how impossible the odds of a life supporting universe are. So, In statistics a mathematical impossibility is at one part in 10^50 the odds of a life supporting universe are one trillion trillion trillion times smaller than that. Odds that low don't even bear enough worth to be mentioned in a rational statistical argument. In fact, Karen Masters from Harvard University writes that with infinitesimal odds of something happening, Even in infinity it is more likely that there will only be a finite or zero number of those things in existence. With that information we can see that an intelligent force is necessary because of the sheer precision evident in the universe. The universe hit the jackpot not just once but over and over and over again not just with each prerequisite for life, But with the ratios of the prerequisites to each other. My opponent then makes the claim that morality exists in culture and DNA. Morality exists intrinsically in neither of those places without a God. First, Let's talk about DNA. This View Defies the Evidence Sociologists and psychologists have been conducting baby studies for several years now in an effort to discover which moral traits (if any) are inherent and common to the human species. A Yale study referenced in a 60 Minutes episode revealed the problem. In one part of the experiment, 5 month old babies were given a "puppet play" to watch. In the play, A stuffed animal attempts to open a box and is either assisted by a white teddy bear that gently comes to its aid, Or defeated by a blue teddy bear that brusquely pounces on the box lid. Afterward, Babies most often choose to embrace the white teddy bear. The researchers (naturalists who would certainly reject the notion moral truths are grounded in the nature of God) initially attempt to explain the behavior as an evidence of the babies innate (genetic) sense of justice, Arguing that the babies reward the well-intended effort of the white bear by favoring it. A better explanation, However, Is simply that the baby fears the ill-behaved, Brutal blue bear as a matter of self-preservation. This also seems consistent with the second findings of the study. When babies were given an opportunity to discover a common interest with a stuffed animal (i. E. Both like the same snack food), They then favored this animal and held a bias against other stuffed animals that did not share this interest. They even favored this stuffed animal when it acted brutally. Researchers concluded that we are innately biased toward people who share our interests and biased against those who are different. An altruistic concern for others appears to be missing from our genetic coding. This really shouldn"t come as a surprise to any of us who have been raising children. Infants are inherently impatient, Selfish and quick to throw a tantrum. Parenting is often simply the exercise of helping children overcome their innate nature by applying principles missing from their genetic encoding. If Morality doesn't exist in DNA, Then without God it can't exist in culture because of a lack of a reference point as I outlined in my last post. As for his argument against my colorless universe argument. He says that common morality is just patterns that emerge in certain times and conditions. But HOW. With no objective reference point we have no way to come up with the concept of moral reality any more than a blind man has a reference point to come up with the concept of color. Even if there are differences in morality across cultures that doesn't remove the need for an objective moral truth for a reference point. Look at your example of colorblind people. Just because some people may mix up blues and greens or may not experience colors at all doesn't mean that those colors don't objectively exist and have an objective identity. Interpreting moral law differently or getting moral law wrong or merely choosing not to follow it does not change that it exists. I must apologize in that I don't quite follow your point about the void and all that. Evolution does have rules. But those rules are not predetermined by any known natural law. DNA gives the appearance of having been programmed to follow its own rules in a highly improbable way. Thus suggesting the existence of a programmer.
