It is probable that God exists

Thank you. In your opening, you lay out two arguments. In the first, which is the Extraordinary Claim means Extraordinary Evidence argument, I find at least two faults. And the second, which is given in three examples, is the idea that God cannot be omniscient if he has not known some certain experience of human life. I do not disagree with the truth of such an argument, if it were true; but I do think that it in no way supports your side of this debate. Extraordinary Claims etc.. As stated above, I have noticed at least two faults with this argument. The first is with the premise of the argument. That is, that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence to be considered to be true. I would say that to prove either extraordinary or ordinary claims, one would require ordinary evidence. Whether my opponent claims that he rode a unicorn through the forest and encountered the tooth fairy or he claims that he ate a certain type of sandwich for lunch, he would need the same sort of evidence to prove, to a rational person, that each is true. He may need to provide sensory evidence, such as a picture, video, or some other type of recording of the stated event. Or if that were unavailable, he could provide an eye-witness of the event. And if neither of these were available, he could prove the event through logical reasoning. So whether an event is extraordinary or ordinary, the same type evidence would be required to show that such an event is true. So a reasonable person, who is truly open to all possibilities (as any good philosopher or scientist should be), should have no trouble believing one man who says he experienced an extraordinary event, just as much as he would a man who says he experienced an ordinary event, provided that the same amount of evidence is given, be it very little or very much. The second fault I find in this argument is the statement that the existence of God, that is an intelligent creator, is an extraordinary claim as defined above. In fact, I would argue that the statement that no God exists is a rather extraordinary claim with very little, if any evidence to support it. While I would argue that the physical laws of the universe are a great argument for the existence of God, I will digress, and say rather that the physical laws of the universe are in no way contradicted by the existence of an Intelligent Creator. How can something which exists outside of the physical universe, contradict the laws of said physical universe? And even if such a being did exist within the universe, what physical law would this being be braking by existing? Would you say that the Law of Gravitational Force disproves God? Or perhaps, the laws of conservation? I would like to know which of these laws God would be breaking by existing, Mr.Infidel. As for common sense, I think that my opening argument proves that common sense is most definitely in favor of a creator, and not against. The overwhelming majority of humanity have been religious, believing in some form of God. It is only a very tiny minority of people who are atheists. Are you saying, Mr.Infidel, that common sense is some mystical gift that is withheld from the masses and is only granted to a very precious few? If so, common sense would not be very "common" at all, now would it? The last pretense of a claim being extraordinary was that it would contradict everyday experience. How does the existence of God contradict everyday experience? Is it because we do not see God everyday? (though some have claimed to) But what about the fact that we see the effects of God everyday? People heading to their place of worship, praying to their gods, and people dying for their gods are examples of these effects. How could we humans who are incapable of creating anything, and who are only able to imitate that which already exist, make up the idea of the existence of God without a God to imitate? It seems to me that the claim that God exists is not an extraordinary claim at all, but a quite ordinary one. The next argument which you proposed was that God cannot know everything if he does not know what some human experiences, which are impossible for him to experience, by his very nature, are like. This three-exampled argument is very easily refuted in the fact that and all powerful God would have no problem knowing all of our thoughts and emotions. If the human terrorist takes pleasure in killing someone unjustly (though he thinks it is in the name of justice) thethat terrorist would know what that feeling is like, and by extension, so would God, since He knows all of our thoughts and feelings. (being omniscient that is) So God would know what it is like to take pleasure in sin (if that is indeed possible for a human to do), to make a mistake, and to learn something new, without ever having done these things himself. And as for your personal god, the holy Invisible Pink Unicorn, I would have to disagree with your saying that she can't exist, oh yea of little faith.. Say there were two beings aside from your god. One, like a human with ordinary visual sense, and another with a visual sense greater than ours and could perceive a greater range of wavelengths on the electromagnetic spectrum. This deity of yours might appear as pink to the big eyed being, but might remain invisible to we lowly humans. So this Invisible Pink Unicorn could exist. It's all a matter of relativity. It is invisible relative to one, but pink relative another. So a being with contradictory properties can exist. See there? Now you can give up Atheism and go back to your worship of your Unicorn!!! 8D
