There's Probably No God...

An interesting article sprouted up on Richard Dawkins' site that Uncommon Descent picked up. I was aware that he was doing this but wasn't aware of how much people gave towards his silly project. What a great waste of money and resources. How many people will Richard Dawkins and his "ministry" take to Hell with him, I wonder? We should worry greatly of the one who can destroy the spirit as well as the body. Doesn't he know it's highly irrational to NOT believe in God? With all the order and complexity in the universe, with all the laws that govern the universe and our world, with the very fine tuned aspects of our planet and world around us, that if even one of those finely tuned aspects were to fail, then life on this planet would cease to exist.

So what are the chances of our world coming into existence by "chance"?

A Swiss mathematician, Charles Eugene Guye, actually computes the odds against such an occurrence at only one chance in 10(160). That means 10 multiplied by itself 160 times, a number too large even to articulate. Another scientist expressed it this way:

"The amount of matter to be shaken together to produce a single molecule of protein would be millions of times greater than that in the whole universe. For it to occur on earth alone would require many, almost endless, billions of years." The Evidence of God in an Expanding Universe, p. 23.

So what is one's rational for concluding that there is not an intelligent being responsible for all this? I would love to go into more depth on this because I have much more to say on the subject. But I will save it for another post. Till now I'll revert my atheist friends to an earlier post of mine - Creation vs Evolution (Does God Exist?) article enclosed


Here's the article:



This just in from RichardDawkins.net:

Today, thanks to many Cif readers, the overall total raised for the Atheist Bus Campaign stands at a truly overwhelming £135,000, breaking our original target of £5,500 by over 2400%. Given this unexpected amount, I’m very excited to tell you that 800 buses – instead of the 30 we were initially aiming for – are now rolling out across the UK with the slogan, “There’s probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life”, in locations all over England, Scotland and Wales, including Manchester, Edinburgh, Glasgow, York, Cardiff, Devon, Leeds, Bristol and Aberdeen.

Three questions:

(1) What exactly is the probability that there is no God?

(2) In times past the state was concerned that people believe in God because they saw faith as curbing human wickedness (God holds us accountable for our actions and will see that in the end justice is served–so watch what you do). Wouldn’t it therefore be more honest for the atheists to put up the slogan: “There probably is no God. Now watch your back because no one else is.”

(3) Is it a coincidence that the world’s leading atheist is also a pathological Darwinist?
