God .... Who?

Well, I was having a debate, now what's wrong with that? Why frowning? The debate was, and I insist, on the concept of God, not God. They are two different things. The debate on God, implies, though that might not be the intention of an atheist, that God exists. Where as the debate on the concept of God, is a fair pointer on what the debate should be actually about. There are a few mistakes, ok I feel so, that people make. Any discussion on the concept of the God, tends to bear an argument for or against science. Science is not, be all and end all of this world. Science is a gradual learning, which questions itself. Yes there are scientists who are reluctant to admit some changes, just as there have been popes/priests/people who have opposed the idea of the Earth going around the Sun. It's another matter that the word of God, should not have been wrong about the Earth going around the Sun, at the first place. God and science can peacefully exist or not exist. They need not be in mutual exclusion of each other.

But my problem is that I do not believe in the concept of God. I am a man of simple logic. And if logic can not prove to me the existence of God then nothing can, science or no science. You just can not tell me on the face, God exists, and expect me to believe it. Prove it. And if God has a hesitation revealing itself to one of it's own creation, well BUMMER.

The thing also is that people talk about intelligent design and the science of probability.

Intelligent design :
1.) Does intelligence need creation?
2.) No. End of the debate.
3.) Yes. Is God intelligent?
4.) No. Well ....
5.) Yes. So go to 1.)

Probability :

People argue, it can not be by chance. Such precision has to be created. Let's justify first, whether its really precision by creation or by chance.
Well, okay. Probability is the likely occurrence of an event, defined in mathematics as the ratio of the number of outcomes in an exhaustive set of equally likely outcomes that produce a given event to the total number of possible outcomes.
What are the total number of possible outcomes? All the planets, in all the solar systems, in this universe or all the universes, if the concept of parallel universe is true (which again I do not believe in)? Nope take also into account the planets, the solar systems, the galaxies that did not get formed. But does anyone know such a number? Not in my knowledge. We do not know how many galaxies exist, let alone know about the solar systems and the planets, how can we possibly know how many did not get formed, due to natural factors (not enough gravitation force to bind the material, not the right distance, etc...)!

There are more points and a discussion such as this can actually consume all the server space that Blogspot has to offer and yet will not result in any decisive outcome. This is not to hurt anyone's sentiments or feelings. Whether or not one believes in the concept of God, is one's own decision and rightly so. I just chose to ignore it.
