God Exists

However, my opponent is new to this site, so the voters should not deduct conduct for it. **The Problems With My Opponent's Arguments** Even if The Bible is false, and even if there isn't an omnipotent or omnibenevolent being; God as I defined could still exist. My opponent cannot make up his/ her own definitions after accepting the debate. By accepting this debate, my opponent accepts my definition. Since God, as I defined, doesn't have to be the Christian God; none of my opponent's arguments show that God does not exist. An evil being could have created the universe. As long as this being is conscious, then this being counts as God as far as this debate is concerned. Also, my opponent doesn't have to show that God doesn't exist. My opponent only has to undermine my argument sufficiently. If my opponent does want to prove God does not exist, then it has to be against a conscious cause of the universe we see. Even if the Christian God doesn't exist, there could still be a conscious being who caused the universe we see. Thus, my opponent's arguments do absolutely nothing to show that God, as I defined, does not exist. **My Argument** I will be arguing God from Quantum Mechanics. The Collapse Of The Wave Function In quantum mechanics, a wave-function describes the propagation of the wave with regards to any particle or group of particles[1]. A wave function collapse is the process by which a wave function—initially in a superposition of different eigenstates—appears to reduce to a single one of the states after interaction with an observer[2]. This means that particles do not have definite positions until observed. The video attached explains this process in further detail[3]. The Entire Universe Has A Wave Function The entire universe has a wave function[4]. There is even direct evidence of it as well (this is because time emerges from quantum entanglement[5]. ) What Collapsed The Universe’s Wave Function? The question that remains is; what collapsed the universe's wave-function? It must have been an external observer! What counts as an observer though? Well, it could either be a conscious observer[6], or a physical system made of particles (like a measuring instrument)[7]. Thus, either a conscious observer observed the wave-function of the universe into definite states long ago, or it was due to a particle, or collection of particles. The idea of a particle existing outside the universe seems absurd. After all, if the universe is defined as the physical world, then we cannot have a particle, or particles existing outside of the physical world; as particles are physical. That would be a contradiction. If you believe there are other physical worlds, then we get an infinite regress. Something had to collapse that particle, or particles into definite states, and something had to collapse what collapsed those particles; ad infinitum. However, an infinite past is impossible. If we counted up the amount of universes there would have had to have been in the past, it will always equal a finite number; reaching infinity is impossible. This is based on a simple mathematical principle: “Any finite number + A finite number = A finite number” Therefore, there couldn’t have been an infinite chain of classically physically systems collapsing quantum systems. Thus, a conscious observer is the only reasonable option left. A conscious being must have collapsed the universe into its definite state; which is the universe we see. Therefore, God exists. **Sources** [1] . http://www.thefreedictionary.com... [2] . http://www.princeton.edu... [3] Video Source [4] . http://en.wikipedia.org... [5] . https://medium.com...
