What is more likely? God or Science? Admit it!!!?

Question

Question for Christians/God lovers. What do you think it more likely: A strand of DNA appearing after the big bang OR an omnipotent God that is complicated beyond comprehension, can answer millions of prayers simultaneously, perform miracles and judge 6+ billion people. Just seems to me, while both are unlikely, that science at least has a chance.
Will everyone admit that its unlikely(not impossible) God exists? Even if you believe, just think logically and admit it.

At least an educated guess is something. I would take education over faith any day.

Basically the answers I was expecting. "God is real!!!!!!" If by some unimaginable, close to impossible chance a personal God does exist, who do you think he would punish? People that think for themselves and actually use their brains that God himself created. That would be a pretty unjust God.

Psh, I wasn't saying that science and God can't coexist. And thank you David for proving to everyone here that the theory of evolution is wrong. haha

And the big bang theory without a control factor would not be the most unlikely thing. A God that can create that type of thinking would obviously be more complex, and therefore more unlikely. Anything a human can possibly imagine is not as complex as a God that created those humans. Is that not obvious?

How anyone can say I want people to admit God does not exist is beyond me. I thought I made it clear I just want everyone to say its unlikely. I will never say that I know for a fact that God is not here. That would be an ignorant comment, just like so many people saying they know God does exist.

Just want to make it clear I am not saying science trumps God. Just that the chance of a God is so incredible there is no way I can see how anyone believes it. Science can't answer how life started, but at least its making an effort. I could argue with someone about how my computer works. Saying a God is the reason it works is no argument. Thats way to easy. Why is the sun so big? Because of God. Worst answer EVER. You are all trading freethinking and education for faith. Think about that.

haha, Just as I said, that chance of DNA appearing is highly unlikely. Eventually it has to happen considering there are 100+ billion universes out there. But God appearing? Can anyone even give me odds on that one? Its hilarious people that say its nearly impossible for a DNA strand to come about, then they talk about GOD!!! Do you not see your faults? I shouldn't have even included science in this argument, it was my mistake. Not one person that believes in God even attempted to answer my question. Look at all the responses, all of them just avoided. hahaha

Answer 1

excellent question! you might actually provoke a lil thought in a believer or 2
the best way to go about it is to be indirect....if yer blatantly obnoxious, defense mechanisms go up :)

Answer 2

Great Scientists like Einstein and Newton believed in the existence of God. In fact majority of people who deal with Science believe in God.

Maybe you should ask yourself what such Scientific knowledge you have that you resist God.
Look at it this way. Many things have been invented and proved. Likewise there are many which are still waiting to be found. We approve on Science based on those things which have been found. We believe Science because we live in an educated country and keep ourselves constantly updated. How about those people in Africa and lesser fortunate countries? Does it mean that just because they are not aware of the advancements in Science, Science is not true? Will you accept that argument?
It all comes down to Awareness. Just because you cant see God, does not mean the others cant See.

God is Always there. He has been and will be. If you want to know him and see him, you should take the right steps, noble steps.

All these outcry by atheists are too far fetched. With all these advancements in Science, can Science prevent us from ageing, can it prevent us from dying?

Every living born into this world will taste death someday. Isn't that enough to prove that there is a Superior Existence?

Answer 3

I think that the two go together I am a christian but I can see where there could be some confusion if you think about things on the one hand you have the bible written thousands of years ago on the other hand you have science text books re-written every year or two and all i can say is science has done more to prove the existence of God rather than to disprove him in fact there are books out there that compare scripture with geological findings and archiological digs have proven biblical acuracy

Answer 4

It sounds like you want people to admit that God does not exist, and this is a very loaded question. That is something I will not say.

Both God and science exist. Science explains what goes on in the world. However, God had to create life to start the world. Where did the first life come from? Scientists are unsure of this one fact. They have had no success creating life from no life.

So, I find it easier to believe in God. You can't say that God does not exist just because you can't prove that God exists. At the same time, you can't prove that God does not exist.

Don't try to weight the question in your favor.

Answer 5

Sounds like you've answered your own question, but I'll give you mine anyway.
You mentioned DNA. Dude, do you really understand here, just how complex a molecules of hundreds and hundreds of atoms, we are talking about here?!!! NO WAY could DNA have evolved in the HARSH prebiotic conditions of the Precambrian(ARCHEAN) earth. The odds are just way too great for even ONE DNA molecule to evolve, let alone, a LIVING cell!!
Science was created by GOD!!! Men just rediscover the various field of study over the long centuries of the history of mankind. That God invented billions of years ago when He created the Heavens and the Earth, the sciences . . . . . .

Answer 6

Well as a Christian I will say it is not always a case of somehow proving one at the expense of the other. However much of what science teaches as fact has no more physical proof to it than anything taught by Christianity. When I took biology in college just as many atheists in class had a hard time swallowing the connections the teacher was stating as "obvious" (in support of evolution) as the Christians did. Nothing has reaffirmed my faith in God more than learning what science teaches as fact (and why it is considered fact).
Scientists can be as stuck in their beliefs and unwilling to acknowledge when they are proved wrong as much as any aged theologian.

Answer 7

1) The omnipotent God. Where did the information for the strand of DNA come from?
2) The strand of DNA is not science. Science has yet to come up with a plausible scenario as to how it could have arisen.

Answer 8

--DNA COMPLEXITY does not come by accident!
--BIG BANG without the "control factor", God-- would be the biggest impossibilty to ever exist!

*** ct p. 48 From “the RNA World” or Another World? *** Appendix B
--In view of the DNA-RNA-protein team impasse, some researchers have offered “the RNA world” theory. What is that? Instead of asserting that DNA, RNA, and proteins originated simultaneously to produce life, they say that RNA by itself was the first spark of life. Is this theory sound?
--In the 1980’s, researchers discovered in their laboratory that RNA molecules could act as their own enzymes by snipping themselves in two and splicing themselves back together. So it was speculated that RNA might have been the first self-replicating molecule. It is theorized that in time, these RNA molecules learned to form cell membranes and that finally, the RNA organism gave rise to DNA. “The apostles of the RNA world,” writes Phil Cohen in New Scientist, “believe that their theory should be taken, if not as gospel, then as the nearest thing to truth.”
--Not all scientists, though, accept this scenario. Skeptics, observes Cohen, “argued that it was too great a leap from showing that two RNA molecules partook in a bit of self mutilation in a test tube, to claiming that RNA was capable of running a cell single-handed and triggering the emergence of life on Earth.”
--There are other problems as well. Biologist Carl Woese holds that “the RNA world theory . . . is fatally flawed because it fails to explain where the energy came from to fuel the production of the first RNA molecules.” And researchers have never located a piece of RNA that can replicate itself from scratch. There is also the issue of where RNA came from in the first place. Though “the RNA world” theory appears in many textbooks, most of it, says researcher Gary Olsen, “is speculative optimism.”
--Another theory that some scientists have espoused is that our planet was seeded with life that came from outer space. But this theory does not really address the question, What originated life? Saying that life comes from outer space, notes science writer Boyce Rensberger, “merely changes the location of the mystery.” It does not explain the origin of life. It merely sidesteps the issue by relocating the origin to another solar system or galaxy. The real issue remains.

***ISAAC NEWTON AND ATHEIST FRIEND:
*** gh chap. 6 p. 54 par. 10 The Source of Good News—“God” ***
--The following account relates how Newton testified to his belief in Almighty God:
--Newton once had a skilled mechanic make for him a model of the solar system. Balls representing the planets were geared together so as to move realistically in orbit. One day an atheist friend visited Newton. On seeing the model, he operated it, and exclaimed in admiration, “Who made it?” Newton answered, “Nobody!” The atheist replied, “You must think I am a fool! Of course somebody made it, and he is a genius.” Newton then said to his friend, “This thing is but a puny imitation of a much grander system whose laws you know, and I am not able to convince you that this mere toy is without a designer and maker; yet you profess to believe that the great original from which the design is taken has come into being without either designer or maker!”

Answer 9

Sorry, understanding of God and science do not come from the same place so they are not mutually exclusive.

Understanding of science comes from study and examination

Understanding of God is given freely in a way that many not be at all logical based on human understanding.

Perhaps it sounds nuts to you, but it is very real. God is real.

Answer 10

If science and evolution were true, we would have cave men running around today right next to us, because there would never be a point where the amoeba was not evolving into man, over and over again. If evolution were true, every missing link would always be present, for man and for every other creature, because evolution would be the law of life.
No matter how you slice it, God wins hands down.

Answer 11

Science exists, and God exists.....so I guess they're both equally likely. As for which one is responsible for the beginnings of life...science says that it is mathematically impossible for life to have formed on it's own. So, I'm going with God on this one.
