Probability that God Exist
Probability that God exist. Here are my take on this subject based on my limited research.
I Proofs that God exist:
a) Existence of nation of Israel”from Jacob to Israel meaning ”one who struggled with God. = 8
b) His words the Bible contains: accurate history, & prophesies fulfilled = 7
c) This logic:
Premise (P1) : Input + process = output
P2: Everything is output, and every output needs an intelligent being to get the right process
P3: Every rule has an exception. This rule of exception will be absurd to apply to any of the “input”, “process” or output. Therefore, by process of elimination the rule of exception must apply to that intelligent being.
Conclusion: From P1 to P3, we can conclude that although everything is made, there is one not made, the ultimate intelligent being”that is he is not subject to P1. = 8
d) Irreducible complexity of a cell proves an intelligent creator = 8
d) There were witnesses”hundreds of them”willing to die for their faith that there is God. On the other hand, few had been willing to face death to hold to their beliefs that there is no God = 6
e) The universe in all its wander and mysteries is proof that there is an intelligent creator = 7
f) Some well known atheists have converted to Theists = 5
Total = 49
Probability there is God = 49 / ( 49 + 37) = 57%
II. Proofs there is no God
a) We can’t see, touch, or hear him = 7
b) His supposed to be words, the Bible is full of discrepancies = 6
c) The theory of evolution proves there is no God = 4
d) The complexity of a cell could be explained by science, someday, thereby making God redundant = 6
e) Science has theorized that the universe came to being by chance and not by an intelligent being = 7
e) Many believers have converted to atheism = 7
Total = 37; or 43 % = 37 / (49+37)
Summary: God exist = 57%; God does not exist = 43%
I am not saying this is fool proof. Its just my take on things. So? Its better to believe in the existence of God.

OK, I'm calling Poe on DoubtingToo. I don't see how anyone could make that probability argument with a straight face, and in combination with his 'flow chart' thread it is just becoming untenable that anyone could seriously come up with 2 such totally specious arguments.
Lighten up, WK. Didn't I say that my take is NOT fool proof? It's based on my limited research. The original questioner asked for a probability? I gave him one--which I realize may not be acceptable to others.
I'm not into arguing w/ anyone. I'm trying to contribute my dime's worth of kiddy research.
