Probability of God's existence → zero
#15
RE: Probability of God's existence → zero
I said that, not you. I was making a point.

You said this
Quote:We can now say that there is a very infinitesimal chance that God exists. An absolutely infinitesimal chance can be ignored and rounded to zero as not being statistically significant.

And it makes no sense if you're actually arguing that God's probability is zero. You can't just 'round off' "almost certainly doesn't exist" to "the probability of his existence is zero". If you can't rationally say he definitely doesn't exist then 'rounding it off' doesn't make any difference.

Saying his probability is zero is exactly the same as saying he is impossible so yes you did say that, maybe you didn't mean it, but that's what it actually means.
