PROOF THAT GOD EXISTS - am i wrong?

Question

Tell me if this is wrong?
With unlimited time before we existed and unlimted amount of planets (due to space never ending with the whats behind the wall theory? more space) then their is not only a great chance of their been aliens but of god exsisting too.

Example of how big space is:

Imagine a planet with purple dinosaurs on it. They all had too heads and barked like dogs. Sounds crazy but somewhere out there its likely there is. You may think "oh der dats stupid, i cant think into things properly haha stupid dinosaurs". But scientists have proven this.

With an UNLIMITED amount of planets there is nearly a 100% chance of ANYTHING you can think of been true. Sounds scary but most intelligent people know this if they think about it long enough.

I havn't been to church since i was little and i KNOW scientifically that the chances of there been aliens / god is near 100%
This is why i live happily.

Do you agree?

Answer 1

*eyeroll* And the Flying Spaghetti Monster too.

Answer 2

Wrong. First of all there is not an unlimited amount of planets. We know this because of how much space there is. Now, if the universe is infinite, there is a possibility of an unlimited amount of planets existing at different times (like the planet with the 2 headed dinosaurs barking could have existed in another millenium but doesn't exist now). Plus, not all things can exist in the universe. Something that is a logical impossibility cannot exist, for example. Plus that only means that the POSSIBILITY of anything that you imagine could exist, yet just because it is a possibility does not mean it actually exists.

God, the way we know of him/her in the bible does not exist and couldn't exist in another part of the universe or on another planet because he would not be confined to our time/space. If he were the judeo/christian god he would be everywhere, not confined to a probablility planet. Since we don't have any evidence of his existence here and now, there is every reason for us to assume that an all present god doesn't exist at all.

Answer 3

You're logic is mostly correct, but your conclusion based on your explanation is illogical. (I wouldn't say that you're wrong because I don't know whether or not God exists.)

You said that space is infinite and therefore has an infinite number of planets. You logically concluded that this means that an infinite amount of different kinds of objects exist. However, that logic would only apply to matter. As purple dinosaur that barks like a dog is matter. God is a supernatural force that is not made out of atoms.

In the Bible, God is described as being everywhere. If that is the case and he were made out of matter, nothing else could exist. Besides, God supposedly created the universe. Therefore, God could njot have been created as a result of the infinite universe already existing.

Answer 4

I agree for the most part. But Yes, Brilliant thought, It never occurred to me to ponder that the probability of the creatures we think up existing in actuality could be high because of the vastness of the Universe. Brilliant, just brilliant. I agree with you. moreover, we have not yet to explore the lowest heaven let alone the other six heavans (Sevean Heavans). But my most compelling argument for me of the existence of God is the wonder that Existence is a creation itself. So therefore we are not actually reality but designs or expressions of a superior relality (in his likeness). But where I disagree with you is that we can think of something and its a 100% chance it could exist. WE are most likely be as 100% wrong about our imagined life forms because we have a very limited view and understanding of the universe in the first place. To do so would be to have that one equation that explains existence. We have the slightest idea to even start that equation. Earth is an expression in the universe, but the universe has various other expressions that we can't explain because we know nothing about them. So we must not think of our universe as a large Earth, but the Earth as a small expression of the complexity of life, matter, and forces in the expanding endless universe.

The people disagreed with you about the Universe being infinite, but I agree, because it is expanding, thus we can't come off on an end. Sounds like the people who though the Earth was flat. HAhaha.

Very thought provoking. Thanks.

Answer 5

First of all, there isn't an unlimited number of planets, there's an incredibly huge number but it's not unlimited. Secondly, the existence or non-existence of god isn't something that can be boiled down simply to probability.

Two-headed puple barking dinosuars are at least possible, god however is not, at least not how he/she/it is usually described by theists. Saying god exists because the universe is huge is like saying that somewhere there is an area where 1=0.

Answer 6

No, I don't agree. Here's why.

There was not an unlimited amount of time. There was 13.7 billion years, and not all of that would have been good, stable times for life to develop in. What's beyond the edge of the universe? Not more universe. Nothing we can speculate about, really.

There's a very good change of other creatures/aliens existing. But we know that life can exist (it does here) and we know how life can evolve (we see it here). But we don't know anything about gods - we don't know they can exist, we dont' have any evidence for them existing. Therefore, there's no reason to think that one would exist somewhere if we don't have any mechanism by which we could get one.

Answer 7

Zero Cool, while I am unsure what evolutionary pressures would create a FSM, I wouldn't be surprised if such a creature does exist somewhere within the multiverse, or if the universe is infinite as the OP assumes, our home one. It doesn't really break any laws of physics, assuming that its a low-gravity world where flight is relatively easy...

As for any Gods or FSMs within 156 billion LY, I wouldn't count on it...which means they might as well be in another universe.

Unless they can travel faster than light...

Answer 8

Who says there are an infinite number of planets? You are wrong....

As space expands in one area, it shrinks in another. Planets are dying as other planets are being born. It is a finite number - granted it is one will will never know, but it is finite.

You live happily now because you THINK you know truth. Hey - its working for you, so why stop, right??
Thing is, Im happy too. And Im doing it all without your God.

Answer 9

You're putting God into the naturalistic realm, where he doesn't belong, where he will never be found. I could make the same argument for the FSM or Russells teapot existing somewhere (indeed in an infinite number of somewheres) out in the universe.

Answer 10

Disagree. You are assuming because something exists, it must have a Creator. Can you prove this somehow? Couldn't the Universe have always existed in some for or another without being created? You believe it to be infinite in size, but what about age?

Answer 11

Umm what? Even if there are aliens (which I could believe) that wouldn't prove there was god anymore then it proves that evolution took place on another planet. In fact it would more disprove that there is a God, because he probably would have said something.
