Is it impossible to flip a coin 10,000,000,000 and have 10,000,000,000 heads in a row? Unlikely yes, impossible no.

There is a threshhold of statistical impossibility. The universe's accidental creation is waaay past it. It's one in xx^xx^xx. I believe they example they gave for this number was this: If you could write one zero per second 24/7, you would die before you could write it out.

Think about this though...

The universe as we know it is the sum of an infinite number of probable outcomes. Assuming that matter has always existed, it is possible for certain atoms to bind to each other. They have an affinity for each other, so it is probable that they will find each other and bind. This means that many atoms will bind and will always find another atom or set of atoms to bind to. Eventually, these become molecules. Because there would be a seemingly infinite number of these molecules, it is not unlikely that a few of them could start reactions that formed the first life.

There was no single statistically significant event that created the universe. It is many probable events that happened in random fashion. Humans are a sum of a large number of events that just happened to go "right"

What I said is that it's statistically impossible for all those thing to just happen to go right.

The existence of matter was as a result of billions of years of gravitational contraction caused by density inhomogenities in the interstellar medium. There are different theories that describe the inhomogenities, but the fact is that they exist. This is an observational fact, and there are sound theories of stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis that provide a qualitative and quantitative model for the elements we have today (e.g. carbon), of which biological entities are composed. Much of the interstellar medium is hydrogen, and without the density inhomogenities there wouldn't be sufficient gravitational contraction required to form stars, and it's the stars that through nucleosynthesis formed the heavier elements.

And what I showed you was that it makes absolutely no sense to say such a thing, because trying to say it's statistics-derived implies a reasonable representation of all data involved; unfortunately, your idea of statistics in this case is fallacious logic of referred to as a hasty generalization. Consider for a moment how infinitessimal our own solar system is relative to our galaxy, neighboring galaxies, and all the billions of other galaxies not even observable with terrestrial equipment. This screen from my planetarium software represents a very small portion of my currently visible sky, and there are hundreds of galaxies in a single cluster, ALL of which are larger than our own Milky Way. No, we really are not that significant, and our relative utopia of orbital displacement from a main-sequence star like the sun is quite commonplace in the universe.

I don't try to use "big words", because there's really no other way to describe it. If you Google around with the above words you'll find more than enough information to develop a more accurate pictorial representation of the cosmos. If you want book recommendations you can PM me as well.

I don't think that's a valid argument. Things didn't "just happen to go right"; we are the way we are because the universe is the way it is. Our bodies are biological systems that function within the context of phyiscal and mathematical rules that apply to our environment (i.e. gravity, etc.) Had the universe been different, we would be different, if we even existed. Our existence is not in and of itself proof of divine will.

The statistical improbability thing isn't just for it it exist the way it is- if it were, it's be one in infinity, with the amount of changes that could be made. It's to exist at all.

 

[przero]

I believe in God because I've seen His work in the here and now. Miracles, if you will. Lives changed, relationships repaired and bodies healed. Love placed where only hate existed. Freedom where there was once only bondage. Today, Resurrection Sunday (Easter) is the day Our Savior arose. By Grace, through Faith in Him and His finished work on the Cross, all these Miracles are avialable to any of you.

Those are miracles?

One is as though nothing is a miracle.
The other is as though everything is a miracle."

You don't have enough data to compute a statistical probability of the universe existing at all. It's not possible unless you can somehow step outside of its existence to see the universe within the context of its meta-environment, if there is such a thing. So your statement is meaningless.

Well, there is at least one more reasonable person in this thread. I was close to drawing a hasty generalization and saying it was statistically improbable.

[RobCur]

Its basically faith, one's sanity is very dependent on it. Whether its real or not, it has yet to be proven, this is what puzzles me the most. I still believe their is hell for the bad and heaven for the good.
when you have nothing to believe in, life will be pointless and this is how most end up commiting suicide.
most of us are still breathing, eating and talking cuz of this, which keeps most people sane if not nicer.

For those who do believe in God, why do you believe?

[EmperorOfIceCream]

Why do I believe in God? I can't answer that question - and if I could, my faith would be weakened. I have no explanation, no reason, no justification. I have faith. I believe in God because I believe in God.

I could tell you how my faith has helped throughout my life, I could tell you about how its given my life a sense of purpose, a sense of meaning - but all that would do nothing to explain why I believe in God. All those things are what might or might not be a result of my faith. I do not claim to know how my own mind works, and I do not claim to know how or if God has intervened in my life, or anyones for that matter. All I can say is I believe in God.

 

[clamum]

I don't see how one would know for sure whether or not a supreme being or creator exists so I don't worry about it. I just try to be nice to people and believe that everything will be fine when I die.
