Evidence God Exists

[Zen Badger]

As a newcomer, I sometimes wonder why, at least amongst thinking people, is the argument re the existence of god still with us. Sure, for those who are so petrified by the thought of personal extinction that they will accept ANY alternative, the existence of god has GOT to be true.

I would suggest that, however intelligent the individual, if he/she has this innate fear, then they would appear to have an infinite capacity to 'overlook' clear observation and logical argument.

Points to consider:

If god has a plan, then he must be dissatisfied with the status quo. A dissatisfied deity???!!!

When this plan is fulfilled, then god will have moved from god A (unfulfilled) to god B (fulfilled).

Question: How does a god evolve when, by definition god is the ultimate and highest creation?

A much simpler and not very original one: If god is all knowing and all seeing, then why did he bother creating two people and giving them 'free will' (or as we call it in the UK - Hobson's choice!), when he knew the outcome of his experiment.

Why make the poor buggers suffer from an innate weakness that god had programmed into them in the first place?

I'm not presenting the above as being new and groundbreaking arguments - but does fear really make believers ignore such obvious questions?
