What do you think of Google's "top reasons to believe in God"?

I don't think the world or the universe or life or us were created. And there might never have been such a thing as Nothing.

The universe formed following expansion and opening up of some spatial dimensions; and research is seeking answers about how the universe was some billionths of a second after the "big bang", notably the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.

We might have to continue to have the humility to admit that we don't know everything for a very long time - perhaps forever; and I prefer this instead of hanging onto the kind of pride that won't admit we don't know it all and evokes supernatural beings, which I don't consider plausible.

The reason we're here living in the "Goldilocks Zone" ("Just right!"), talking about it is because this is one of the places and times in which we can exist.

The universe is something around 13.7 billion years old, and is so immensely big on our scale that we can't imagine its size - and it's still expanding. It contains billions of galaxies, each containing billions of stars, at least some if not all of which have planets orbiting them. So if anything can happen, the chances are a virtual certainty that at some place at some time, it has happened. And we're here at this time, because this is where and when we can be. If you extend this Anthropic Principle to the hypothesis about the Multiverse, of which our universe is one of billions, that makes the chances even more of a certainty.

So there doesn't have to be a reason for things existing, nor is there any need for supernatural beings of any kind, let alone God. Space, matter, energy and forces behave the way they do on their own. And life and evolution are part of that, as is the experience of Self which is a construct of the brain and our senses.

I’m half-way through Stephen Hawking’s book The Grand Design, which might help further in understanding or correcting some of these ideas.

The top reason to believe in god would be if he got off his **** and did something to prove he exists.

1. A complex manufactured item would imply design but there is no logical reason to apply the same concept to a natural organism.

2. If the universe had a start how could there be anything before the start to cause it.

3. The fundamental laws of nature do not imply the existence of gods.

4. DNA does not imply the existence of gods.

5. Wishful thinking.

6. Only if you believe both god and jesus actually existed.

Not much.

1. Argument from incredulity -- fallacious.

2. The answer is "we don't know yet." Not "god did it."

3. If it didn't, we wouldn't be here to wonder about it. Trying to use that as "evidence" for some god is a fallacious argument from ignorance.

4. Yes...so?

5. There's no evidence any "god" does any such thing.

6. Subjective opinion about unverifiable myth. Worthless.

The typical ignorant, fallacious attempts to justify believing in magical claimed gods. Nothing new here.

Peace.

1) Hogwash

2) Thats an unproven assertion

3) Dont know, but how does that imply a conscious being who always existed?

4) DNA suggests that we were not created by an intelligent god, because most of it is "junk DNA" which serves no purpose, and much of what is coded by DNA is poor design. For example, our gastro-intestinal tract crosses our respiratory system, making us susceptible to death by choking.

5) LOL

6) No proof that jesus even existed, much less that he was divine.

So it's Dawkins' "God of the Gaps" basically

we don't know therefore God did it

Edit:

I see JC3 still thinks that they are really zinging people with dimwitted comebacks "LOL" and a fake "God Bless"

My favorite is #6, then #5. Here are a few nonbiblical citations to back up my stance. By the way they are modern, well documented and the people are contactable.

Which God?

Convinced me. Hail Zeus!

Seriously, if these are the best reasons you can come up with you have no hope of convincing anyone...

The first four are only half-bad, then it really goes downhill.

They're not reasons, they're poor attempts at evidence.
