does he exist?

Question

What is the likelyhood that a "designer/creator" exists, and also, what is the likelyhood that one doesn't exist? I agree with the "big bang" theory (not proven) so that means I believe the earth is billions of yrs. old and the possibility of "evolution", but give me your thoughts and theories of how space and time came to be..where did the "singularity" come from? What was before the singularity? And to christians, what was before god...very tough questions.

If you simply say "god" doesn't exist, isn't that exactly like a "christian fundamentalist"?except you would be a "big bang" fundamentalist"? (close minded to other options

Sorry, I can't rate answers yet. :(

Interesting "devol" to answer a part of your question, "whjich is more logical, god being the cause with no cause, or matter and energy being the cause with no cause? My answer is neither.

Answer 1

I'm not a physicist, but I have done some research on this. There are some laws of physics that would have been broken if you assume a spinning mass exploded and produced the universe. The one that is top of mind is the law of angular momentum that says that if a spinning mass breaks apart, the particles also spin in the same direction. The problem is that the components of our own solar system spin in different directions and they also orbit in different directions. Hmmmm? What up with that?

I don't believe God has a beginning or end. It's not something our finite minds are equipped to understand, just like we can't understand how big the universe is and we can't count to infinity, etc. I believe that time is a dimension that doesn't apply to god. I also believe there are other dimensions that we aren't aware of/able to perceive. It might explain why some people are in tune to a spirit world while others aren't. Maybe we have a glimpse into these other dimensions even though they aren't a part of most people's daily lives.

Also, if I look at things just logically, I wonder how in the heck did all of this just happen? How do we have enough diversity in our gene pool to ensure that every one of us has a different fingerprint? How do you explain life itself and what's gone when you're dead - what is that lifeforce? We can't recreate it, we can't even comprehend it, scientists can't explain it. It's spiritual. We are spiritual beings. If we are spiritual beings, then why?

How can you explain how the eye works or how airwaves make sounds to us. How can you explain color? What about the specialized reproduction method of all of the different species.

I just have a really hard time believing that any of this is due to some random set of circumstances. If you calculated the probability of all of this happening just by chance - like statistically - of all of this working, staying in balance, being highly sophisticated, etc. I think you'd find the chances are ASTRONOMICAL that it just happened to occur in the right order to get us to where we are today. Therefore it takes much more faith for me to believe random theories vs. believing in an intelligent omniscient creator.

Love your question and your ability to critically think about all options - very rare these days.

Answer 2

The Universe is not an Effect. The Universe is the Cause.

Who created the universe and all the wonders that are in it, including life? We are always so quick at answering God, who else! Since everything has a cause, the universe must also have cause, simple. Unfortunately, that is not a fact, it’s just a belief. The evidence of the senses shows loud and clear that not everything has a cause. Something has no cause. Something is the cause of everything else, and that thing is not God, but the universe itself. Matter and energy are the indestructible elements that constitute the universe. The universe changes, expands, contracts but it does not vanish. It is the cause of everything in it, including life. The universe, in its basic elements of matter and energy has always existed.

The idea of the existence of a Guardian of the Universe is the mystical idea that nature has a creator and that the creator is an intelligent consciousness capable of seeing and tracking everything that happens in the universe. He can decide simultaneously whether a galaxy should be formed in this part or in that part of the cosmos while making sure that the birth and death of each of the six billion people on earth is carefully recorded along with everyone’s possible action, tiny or enormous, good or bad, that each person did in the past, is doing at this very moment, and will do in the future! To believe in the existence of such a conscious super-intelligent being able to do all that work without ever resting a second, requires an incredible imagination and the absolute absence of logical thinking. Since it is legitimate to ask where the universe came from, isn’t it equally legitimate to ask where such powerful concentration of conscious super-intelligence came from?

To say that God is the cause that has no cause is the same as saying that matter and energy are the causes that have no causes. Which is more logical? Scientists don't know all the properties of the universe and we are still learning about the properties of matter and energy. We have no evidence that a superintelligent being created them. Our limited knowledge, however, does not give us the license to invent that there was such a thing as a "creation." It's more probable that matter and energy existed as they exist today by virtue of their own nature, rather than believe that an intelligent being without a birth exists on his own and even lived before energy and matter existed, in a place called nothingness!

Answer 3

The Big Bang is VIRTUALLY proven. We can trace the universe back to the point of 'time > 0', when the universe was just smaller than a grain of sand at billions of a second old. We just can't go all the way back to 'time = 0', as since there was nothing then, there was no math then either. We have proven the background radiation in the universe is from the Big Bang. It is like the 'echo' left from it.
If you add all the positive matter and energy to all the negative matter and energy, the sum equals zero. The moment after the Big Bang, all that existed was matter and antimatter. Almost all of the antimatter entered another dimension, as did a lot of the gravity.
The odds that there is a god is so small, it can't be computed. This planet was not 'created' for humans to live on - the conditions of this planet have the potential for life to exist - so it does.
Time before the Big Bang doesn't matter - as it has no effect on out universe. There seem to be three possibilities:

• There really is a complete unified theory, which we will someday discover if we are smart enough.

• There is no ultimate theory of the universe, just an infinite sequence of theories that describe the universe more and more accurately.

• There is no theory of the universe. Events cannot be predicted beyond a certain extent but occur in a random and arbitrary manner.

Some would argue for the third possibility on the grounds that if there were complete set of laws, that would infringe on God’s freedom to change His mind and to intervene in the world. It’s a bit like the old paradox: Can God make a stone so heavy that He can’t lift it? But the idea that God might want to change His example of the fallacy, pointed out by St. Augustine, of imagining God as a being existing in time. Time is a property only of the universe that God created. Presumably, He knew what He intended when He set it up. With the advent of quantum mechanics, we have come to realize that events cannot be predicted with complete accuracy but that there is always a degree of uncertainty. If one liked, one could ascribe this randomness to the intervention of God. But it would be a very strange kind of intervention. There is no evidence that it is directed toward any purpose. Indeed, if it were, it wouldn’t be random. In modern times, we have effectively removed the third possibility by redefining the goal of science. Our aim is to formulate a set of laws that will enable us to predict events up to the limit set by the uncertainty principle.
The second possibility, that there is an infinite sequence of more and more refined theories, is in agreement with all our experience so far. On many occasions, we have increased the sensitivity of our measurements or made a new class of observations only to discover new phenomena that were not predicted by the existing theory. To account for these, we have had to develop a more advanced theory. It would therefore not be very surprising if we find that our present grand unified theories break down when we test them on bigger and more powerful particle accelerators. Indeed, if we didn’t expect them to break down, there wouldn’t be much point in spending all that money on building more powerful machines.
However, it seems that gravity may provide a limit to this sequence of “boxes within boxes.” If one had a particle with an energy above what is called the Planck energy, 1019 GeV, its mass would be so concentrated that it would cut itself off from the rest of the universe and form a little black hole. Thus, it does seem that the sequence of more and more refined theories should have some limit as we go to higher and higher energies. There should be some ultimate theory of the universe. Of course, the Planck energy is a very long way from the energies of around a GeV, which are the most that we can produce in the laboratory at the present time. To bridge that gap would require a particle accelerator that was bigger than the solar system. Such an accelerator would be unlikely to be funded in the present economic climate.
However, the very early stages of the universe are an arena where such energies must have occurred. I think that there is a good chance that the study of the early universe and the requirements of mathematical consistency will lead us to a complete unified theory by the end of the century—always presuming we don’t blow ourselves up first. What would it mean if we actually did discover the ultimate theory of the universe? It would bring to an end a long and glorious chapter in the history of our struggle to understand the universe. But it would also revolutionize the ordinary person’s understanding of the laws that govern the universe. In Newton’s time it was possible for an educated person to have a grasp of the whole of human knowledge, at least in outline. But ever since then, the pace of development of science has made this impossible. Theories were always being changed to account for new observations. They were never properly digested or simplified so that ordinary people could understand them. You had to be a specialist, and even then you could only hope to have a proper grasp of a small proportional of the scientific theories.

Answer 4

Whether any world religion has actually found the "real" God; it is extremely likely that this universe has some sort of creator. Everything I can think of has the property of "creation." You were either created by your parents, intelligent design, or whatever created this universe. Planets are created by nebulas, plants are created by other plants, rocks are created over time within the earth, etc.

Absolutely everything I can think of can be classified as creation. So how likely is it that those chemicals involved in the Big Bang were created by something? I'd say that it's much more likely than some people would like to think.

Answer 5

Does empty exist or non-exist? If comprehensive exist, then does empty exist or non-exist? ~~~ Empty in highway vernacular, such via fact the cup is a million/2 comprehensive and a million/2 empty. it incredibly is needless to say thoroughly comprehensive, a million/2 of water and the different a million/2 of air! So, particular, there is 'comprehensive' and 'empty'. finally, there are neither. the two are in basic terms imaginary words to describe the hypothesis of what we see. Is it 'comprehensive' of water? How close will the magnification get formerly you declare it incredibly empty? the sole distinction is a controversy of perspective and theory. each and every little thing exists!

Answer 6

I know for a fact that the world is flat and rest on the back of a giant turtle that’s swimming in the Milky Way.

The question is where is it going. It could be heading to the breeding ground for giant interstellar turtles. That is what we call the big bang theory. Naturally the sex of our turtle will determine the fate of our world, if it’s male we may be OK, if not…

To bad we can’t determine the turtles gender from our perspective…

whatever

Answer 7

I think the likelihood of God existing is about 100%.

I also think Atheists are people of great faith.

They believe the entire wonderful universe came into being all by itself from the smallest subatomic particle to the most immense galaxy and from the amazing complexity of the human mind to the love between a mother and child.

I find it much easier to believe that an all powerful and all loving God is behind it all.

I do not have enough faith to be an Atheist.

With love in Christ.

Answer 8

I strongly believe He exists.
Look at nature and you will see none of what's there could come into place with a bing bang.

Everything is carefully and creatively made including you and even an ant.

What about
the water cycle
the digestive and respiratory system
laws of gravity

Answer 9

Yes!
The fact that your ?ing it, means that God is trying to talk to your heart.

For you to listen, search the good book.
Start with the gospels.
Big bang, is correct, theory.
Time and space came into being with the word of God.

And of course man doubts that alot, cause the big flaw of man is pride. To think someone is greater than yourself is to mindboggling for some.
And for others, the mere thought of a loving God is to much for them.
Listen to that still small voice, your hearing it!

Answer 10

There is no way to tell. But any notion of the existence of some sort of god is provably useless: it can predict nothing.
