Re: Probability that God Exist
Hmm, interesting post there, may I ask how you arrived at the numerical values you put after your "proofs"?
Some further remarks:
Doubting Too writes:
His words the Bible contains: accurate history, & prophesies fulfilled
It contains far more inaccurate history, and I haven't seen ANY prophecy fulfilled
Irreducible complexity of a cell proves an intelligent creator
A cell is not "irreducibly complex"
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
There are hundreds of people who think they are Napoleon. Further more, it kind of figures that when you don't believe i god, you also don't believe in an afterlife, and therefore aren't very willing to give up your life in this world.
The universe in all its wander and mysteries is proof that there is an intelligent creator
I assume you mean wonder? Anyow, why would this point to a creator?
Some well known atheists have converted to Theists
Argumet form authority. It would be the same as the pope "converting"to atheism, and everybody following suit, everybody would be idiots then.
The theory of evolution proves there is no God
Really? Would you point out to me where the theory says: "and so we come to the conclusion there is no god"?
The complexity of a cell could be explained by science, someday, thereby making God redundant
It IS explained by science.
Science has theorized that the universe came to being by chance and not by an intelligent being
And science could be wrong.
Many believers have converted to atheism
Same as above.
Summary: You pulled numbers out of thin air and applied them to arguments that are wrong. Then you come to the conlusion of some percentage of likelihood of god's existence. Not very scientific is it?
As for:
I am not saying this is fool proof. Its just my take on things. So? Its better to believe in the existence of God.
You're right it's not "fool proof", it's in fact very wrong.

I hunt for the truth
