Is believing in god the logical conclusion?

Question

My personal opinion is that it is not. when I asked the question 'does god hate logic for turning away so many believers' I had most people say 'If you would use a little logic you would realize that he does.' So, trying not be close minded, I considered this answer...mayb i am the one who is not being reasonable...Tell me where my logic is flawed, I am interested in the whole god thing I just can't bring myself to believe:

This is one of the most common arguments:

Why believing in god is logical- (1) Look How perfect everything is formed...do you believe it could just have happened by chance?

(1) My logic tells me that it is unreasonable to believe that explanation because it is the same logic being used when going up to a puddle and saying: How perfect that hole is made to fit that puddle! Besides, if creation would require intelligence then who created the creator? He is and always was doesn't cut it because that is just throwing the explanation onto something beyond...

human comprehension thus, logically, leading me to believe it is just an attempt to throw off that questionn onto something beyond human comprehension as a means of trickery..

Plz dont just tell me it is but tell me where my logic is flawed....

Answer 1

Yeah, all of what you said (although a little repetitive) is pretty much how it goes. I don't see where your logic is flawed to be honest. You've already stated the counterarguments most Chrisitians like to make, as well as your own.

Answer 2

I used to be a Christian, now I'm an Atheist. I think its illogical to believe in god, fate and anything of the like. There is no proof, no scientifical claim for any of these things. Yes I'm one of those people that needs evidence because I refuse to believe in anything so blindly anymore. I've found that religion is a way to brainwash people and that the religious hate reason and logic. You can argue for either camp but I've chosen mine, nothing would make me go back, I hate it when religious folks act like they know everything, if only we would realize this and that. Well I've searched, I've thought and I came up empty. Believing in god and fairy tales is not logical at all. Just because life exists doesn't mean there is proof for god. Why does there need to be a reason for life? Do we also need a reason to enjoy the ride? Nope. Things are just as they are, I find reality refreshing, and I don't need a reason for everything.

Answer 3

Belief in God cannot simply be subjected to logic in the human way. If we take a closer look at the subject of faith with all the religions, miracles defy science and logic.
God is above logic and any scientific explanation.There is always an ultimate in nature and believe it or not,God is the ultimate creator.The fact that we as humans want to prove the existence of God in various ways shows how complex and nebulous the matter is. Logic or scientific proofs cannot wish God out of the story of creation.

Answer 4

Faith and logic do not go together. Faith tells you too believe without any proof or evidence and logic tells you not believe anything you cant prove. I am sorry but you have too choose one or the other because in the end they will end up contradicting each other so badly that you will never be sure of anything and locked in constant confusion.

Answer 5

There are only two Kingdoms one of Light, one in Darkness you are of one or lost in the other. There is no neutral zone. We are born in darkness without God,
Separated from Him by our very nature to do what is bad, you are blinded by Satan, under His influence because we don't know any better.
Its like being in a pitch black room and someone telling you to keep going forward, not knowing any better you follow the voice and keep moving forward. But if someone else turns on a light and you see a deep pit in front of you that you where getting ready to fall into and die. You would no longer be in the darkness but the lighted room. You would see the other person for who he really is someone who was trying to kill you by giving you false directions.
The person who turned the light on saved you life you probably would be grateful thanking him and you would follow him out of the room from the danger, knowing he never meant to hurt you but to save you. Most likely you would hate the other person for lying to you and trying to kill you. Jesus’ Gospel is that light. It really means Good News! To the person it turns the light on for it is!
It kept Him from dieing following the wrong voice, turned on the light so to speak.
God placed His 10 commandments here for us to see the state we are in recognize that we are under Judgment. It is like a beacon of light showing us the way to go; to His Son Who is the Light and the way to salvation from this judgment that is to come. If you have ever lied even the little white ones or stolen that is taken anything without asking or buying it, you have broken the law and are to be judged for it at the Last Day.
If you believe that God doesn't want to judge you on this matter so He sent His Son to take your place. And that He also wants to be His own daughter so God brought Him back to life then you can receive this salvation, have the "Light" turned on in your life!

Answer 6

You are right, logically this world MUST have been created. However, many religions have a creation story behind them, just not all of them will take you to heaven. If you know that we are created, then you know that we are loved by God, and he sent his son to save us. No one is forcing you to believe, but if you listen to your heart, and open your mind, God will reveal himself to you.

Answer 7

logic dictates that all things came from somewhere. and all things have a beginning and a end. a alfa and omega this concludes there must be or was a creator. of supreme being. this is the definition of God a force out of our understanding.

Answer 8

Awesome!!!!! You are starting to see.
Get ready to go irrational.
If you really want to know the truth ask GOD to reveal himself to you personally. What would be wrong with honestly asking?

Could it be that we were more rational before the world got a hold of us and taught us their ways?


:) Have a wonderfully Irrational day!

GOD bless ya bro!

Answer 9

Take care of this mistake:
We say the nothing can be here without being created, and therefore we believe in God... But saying that I believe in God but who created Him? so I don't believe.. This is a big logical mistake you're doing, by proving that something doesn't exist based on using that it exists...

Please read my words carefully:
If you see footmark in the sand, you'll say that someone passed from here...
If you see a piece of dog sh*t on the ground, you'll say that a dog passed from here...
So what about the enormous universe, the sky, stars, planets, earth and all the beauty in it, doesn't it lead to that someone made it?!!!

Some people say that everything is created by itself after the big-bang... I won't ask you about what caused the big-bang, but I'll ask you a simple question:
If you take all the letters of the alphabet, multiples of them, and you threw them randomly on the floor. Do you expect (by a chance of one in infinity) to get a poem like shakespear's??!!

Can't you see how organized our universe is, the planets, the eco-system on earth, look even in your own body... Can you control your heart-beat? Can you control your breath while you're sleeping? Who stopped your eye-lashes from growing after reaching a certain length? Who told the baby turtles to move towards the sea and not to the earth after they come out of their eggs? Who taught the bird how to make nests?

My friend, think with your heart and brain. If you're still lost, think about the following:

Do you know how to play safe?
Your point:
If there's no God and you do all what you want in life, then nothing will happen to you after life. But if there was God and you were mistaken, then you'll blame yourself FOREVER...

Believer's point:
If there's God and I followed His commands in life, then I'll be in Heaven after life FOREVER. But if there was no God and we're mistaken, then nothing bad will happen to us after life...

Now you know how to play-safe, in case you're not convinced?

Answer 10

Their is no logic to the idea of a Creator 'God'.

Think about it, theirs no proof, no evidence no smidgeon of verifiable data to suggest we were 'Created', other then a lack of evidence to prove Sciences claims.

A lack of Evidence does not mean 'GOD', it means we do not know yet
