Yes, that is often the crux of the problem, because atheists as a rule don't spend their time trying to disprove "God" or indeed any god at all. Same goes for science.
Quote:Atheist say there is no God.
No we don't. Atheists say "show me your god" or "show me some evidence to support your assertion that there is a god". That's the most basic first step when presenting any case for something. Can you do that? Because until you do, there is no discussion.
Quote:But with the rule of probability if there is anything that is infinite then there is the possibility that there is a Infinite Being. I hate to bust your bubble but energy is infinite because it can neither be created or destroyed. So even if there is no God then there is still the possibility of a future Infinite God just by the laws of probability. So its illogical to make the statement of a negative non-existence.
Wow. Where to start? Energy is infinite, therefore "God"? Would it surprise you if I said that the total energy of the Universe is zero? Therefore - what? Zero God? You're right that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. However, it can change form from one type of energy to another, even giving rise to matter which can be transformed back into energy. The final stage of all energy conversion systems is heat, the simplest form of energy in the Universe. That's where the concept of Universal Heat Death comes from, the idea that all energy conversion will eventually wind down as the energy available to do work is turned into heat.
Besides which, if energy cannot be created, how did "God" do it? (I know, I know; magic.)
Quote:If the mind can conceive of it then thru the law of probability and the infinite sequence rule God will exist if he does not already.
Forget this fixation with probability; temper it with plausibility. I can conceive of an end to all world disease, first contact with an alien civilisation, and a naked cheerleader with a keen sense of adventure suddenly appearing on my lap. Guess how many of the three came into existence through the laws of probability alone.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
