Has Science done away with a need for God?
#53
RE: Has Science done away with a need for God?
If there is a "God", there is an infinity of possibilities. The idea that scribbled ramblings by primitive people 2000 years ago just happened to nail exactly the right version of God is not at all logical and amounts to wishful thinking. There's no reason to believe there is any truth to it beyond a few historical facts that can be verified. You'd have just as much, probably more, chance of accurately describing God by just sitting down and making it up yourself. The assumption that one of the religions we have must be "correct" is entirely unfounded, even if there is a god.

Taken altogether, they still have a zero probability between them amongst the infinity of possibilities. That is why Pascals a Wager is such a terrible argument. Not only does it fail to give a good reason to pick a religion (because belief is not a choice), it actually proves why the probability of any particular religion being correct is effectively zero.
