God's Existence.

I acceptThe BOP is on the person who makes the claim, so my opponent will somehow have to prove that god is real. However, that is highly unlikely so I will go with 1credo’s style of argument for the existence of god. This debate goes towards whoever makes the most convincing arguments.C.1 Praying does not workA 1997 study at the University of New Mexico, involving 40 alcoholics in rehabilitation, found that the men and women who knew they were being prayed for actually fared worse. (1) In the largest study of its kind, researchers found that having people pray for heart bypass surgery patients had no effect on their recovery. In fact, patients who knew they were being prayed for had a slightly higher rate of complications. (2) Apparently an eternal being that answers prayers as many religious texts promise simply do not work. -An eternal prayer answering being is supposed to answer prayers-Prayers left unanswered -Eternal prayer answering being does not existC.2 An eternal being is logically impossibleGod, supposedly can do whatever he/she wants. However lets look at some things not even god, being an eternal being can do.-Show a square circle-Shut a revolving door-Show a circular squareIf god is all good, he cannot possibly be all knowing-God is all knowing, he must know all the immoral things-If god knows all immoral things, god is not all good (Vice versa)C.3 No evidence presented for godLets face it. We have observable evidence for god, except for philosophical statements and questions that science has not discovered yet. Firstly, Complexity =/= Creator This is quite a popular argument made by theistic advocates. However, the fact that the universe is extremely complex and has trillions of systems does not mean a being designed it all. To upset theists even more, the complexity does not even have to be designed. The isotropic expansion from a singularity, and some thorough research of how new elements are made can very well explain the complexity in the universe as well as-if not better as a god C.2 There is no need for a god to explain the universe“How else did the universe come to be?” I will present my arguments for the big bang, showing that god is not necessarily needed to explain the universeEvidences for the big bang Accelerating expansion of the universe The accelerating universe points out evidence towards a huge possibility of a singularity for the creation of the universe. The evidences for the expansion of the universe include the isotropic distribution by the redshift of the electromagnetic spectra. (3) 2. Cosmic microwave background radiationIn 1964 Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson serendipitously discovered the cosmic background radiation, an an omnidirectional signal in the microwave band. the radiation was found to be consistent with an almost perfect black body spectrum in all directions.This discovery showed radiations that were isotopic and further supported the big bang theory. (4) 3. Other evidences supporting the big bang include abundance of primordial elements Galactic evolution and distribution, and Primordial gas clouds. What’s more, the theory of the big bang actually has evidence behind it, unlike god. Another question that may come up is that“How can something come from nothing?” Actually it is possible for quantum fluctuations to exist before time and matter itself. What's more is that it more credible than god, for the different evidences point out a huge possibility, when there is little to none for god. 1.http://godisimaginary.com...2.http://www.nbcnews.com...3.http://en.wikipedia.org...;4. http://en.wikipedia.org......
