God most likely does exist.

I would like to start off by saying you're welcome and I am a female. :) "Furthermore I would like to enter the fact that we are speaking of the common idea behind a god if this is alright with my opponent." This is fine. "Thus I begin my case. My opponent begins by pointing out that there is no proof that a god does not exist and asks why then, do I not believe in him. My response is simple and comes in three points. a. A lack of proof against something is not evidence for its existence. b. There is also not sound proof for a god's existence. I will touch on this point later. c. With factors in mind, I find it highly highly unlikely that a god does exist. Keep in mind that this debate is about the likelihood of a god, I made this debate in full knowledge that there is little to no decisive evidence that either of us could present. " I do not know why you do not believe in God. For, again I state that there is no evidence or proof against Him. A. The statement I provided is pure psychology. B. Sound proof? C. The likelihood of a God is very strong. I have stated that the complex design of the universe and everything in it is so complex and detailed, that how could it have just happened by chance? Everything about the Earth is perfect for life. The atmosphere consisting of nitrogen and other gases extends 50 miles above the surface and the gravity is just right to support it. What if Earth were smaller? It would be just like Mercury the atmosphere would contain free hydrogen if it were larger. Earth's atmosphere is just right to support life including plants and animals. It is the only known planet to have such a perfect atmosphere. It is just the right distance form the Sun. "Consider the temperature swings we encounter, roughly -30 degrees to +120 degrees. If the Earth were any further away from the sun, we would all freeze. Any closer and we would burn up. Even a fractional variance in the Earth's position to the sun would make life on Earth impossible. The Earth remains this perfect distance from the sun while it rotates around the sun at a speed of nearly 67,000 mph. It is also rotating on its axis, allowing the entire surface of the Earth to be properly warmed and cooled every day. And our moon is the perfect size and distance from the Earth for its gravitational pull. The moon creates important ocean tides and movement so ocean waters do not stagnate, and yet our massive oceans are restrained from spilling over across the continents." "Chance" or "natural causes" are insufficient explanations. "The alternative to God existing is that all that exists around us came about by natural cause and random chance. If someone is rolling dice, the odds of rolling a pair of sixes is one thing. But the odds of spots appearing on blank dice is something else. What Pasteur attempted to prove centuries ago, science confirms, that life cannot arise from non-life. Where did human, animal, plant life come from? Also, natural causes are an inadequate explanation for the amount of precise information contained in human DNA. A person who discounts God is left with the conclusion that all of this came about without cause, without design, and is merely good fortune. It is intellectually wanting to observe intricate design and attribute it to luck." Source: http://www.everystudent.com... "How did a man responsible for such a wealth of miracles not show up in the historical records....?" Oh, but he did. What do you call the Bible? It was written during his time. Our whole calendar/year system is based on him. Also, take a look at this site. http://www.newadvent.org... From this website, you can see that many people from all religions witnessed Jesus and wrote about him. These are examples of historical documents. It seems as though you spent a lot of time typing up the information about comparisons between people's ideas of Jesus. Was this really necessary? This is a debate on the likelihood of a God, not Jesus. (But I would love to debate anybody on it.) Thank you and I await your response.
