Does a God Exist?

[HewenttoJared]

Okay, so, something coming about one way being unlikely doesn't make your explanation more likely. Explain to me what makes a creator being responsible more likely than a system of natural selection in reproducing universes?

Natural selection requires randomly attributing a lot of characteristics to the universe that I don't think are reasonable. As far as we know there is no system of inherited and altered characteristics and, most importantly, no criteria for success. In order for natural selection to occur we must envision a system of inter-related realities(not dimensions, those are all part of this reality) pushing and pulling against each other in some sort of struggle for survival. In the event that there were an infinite number of universes where time, space and all of the laws contained therein were competing for limited "space" would there be a winner? Whoever won would probably cause all other realities to cease to exist. And the winner just happens to be the one out of infinite choices that leads to biology existing? I doubt it. Even the existence of realities separate from the one our big bang produced is pure conjecture at this point. The idea that universes compete and reproduce and evolve is right now every bit as fictitious as the idea of rolls of toilet paper competing and evolving(they do, but only through the conscious will of greater beings).

Now as far why it seems more likely that something willed us to be(as opposed to infinite, separate universes existing) that requires a large amount of reading. How familiar are you with the New and Old Testament? The Gita? The Koran? Any of the prophecies of The Buddha? If I'm talking to someone who is going to have to google Surahs then I doubt my argument can really make much headway beyond this point. Unfortunately, like most subjects, you have to either trust the people who are well-read or you have to become well-read. Apathy and ignorance rarely generate insight.(that last sentence was for you, Caboose)

Coming in and saying "I don't know and neither do you, /thread" is not just appropriate, it's accurate.

Fixed it for you.
