A One In An infinity Chance That God Exists. What Do You Guys Think?

A One In An infinity Chance That God Exists. What Do You Guys Think?
From my Blog

This is the reason I became Atheist. Imagine there's an all knowing, all powerful, benevolent God that

always existed and created everything. Now imagine there's a monkey that had a supernatural mole on its

toe. That mole fell off and had properties in it that when it fell of the monkey's toe was able to create

everything.

Which one is more likely to be the answer to how the world was created? They're both equally as likely,

right? Now imagine there's an elephant instead of the monkey, or a giraffe, or the mole was somewhere else

on the body, and so on. Therefore there being a God is a one in an infinity chance.

Now, there's the argument that you can't fathom God's existence. To answer that question two answers. I'll state the first one, which is I could just reply that you can't fathom the existence of the thing that created the universe which isn't god, and that that thing could actually be an infinity amount of possibilities which you can't fathom. Thus giving it a one in an infinity chance that there is no God, again.

Looks like he added it back.

this argument is just sillyness. While it is true they are both likely, to convince any of a point with this will go no where.

There's an equal 'chance' that I will awake in the morning with a stalk of broccoli growing from my left eye. Does this mean I should take this seriously or devote my life to it's 'potential' cultivation?

Occular-vegetism suggests that the left eye should be cared for more than the right eye. All left eyed vegetation not broccoli shall immediatley be placed on a grill and burned until its flesh is intistiguishable from the grill's grating. All non-vegetative substances protruding from the left eye shall require decapitation to ensure non-recurrence.

Broccoli from the right eye requires professional treatment by the way of meat sacrifices to the almighty Fertilizer (peace be upon the greatest shit giver). This is a one time chance. Recurrence of right-eyed broccoli or some other vegetation from the right eye will also require decapitation.

Why? I don't actually care about probabilities. A probability of 1 is not proof,neither is a probability of say 1 in 100 million proof of a negative.

A claim can either be proved or it cannot. If not I am unable to accept any truth claim.

You have not yet earned the privilege of self promotion.

Actually, the broccoli thing is far more likely than the OP.

And man, I hate broccoli even more than jesus.

I have to disagree with you.

When we think of what defines reality, what constitutes it, we realize the reality is SIMPLE as opposed to complex (i'm talking about the essence of existence).

If something existed before everything else, whatever that would be, it would define existence.

That existence would be independant life. Now it would be powerful, but it would be simple. Yet it would have to be conscious to jump start the universe, and incredibly intelligent.

This existence can only be spiritual and of a transendent type. Therefore this rules out complex objects as Creator.
