QuoteQuoteNo. It's the complete lack of evidence or even a coherent argument for the existence of god that makes the god hypothesis highly improbable. It's got bugger all to do with certainty.
Evidence can present itself in many different forms. Arguments are useless when concepts are foreign. Intelligence that allows us to observe a perfectly ordered universe ,has to be something other than coincidence. There has to be some unifying equation that describes the interchangeability of energy, matter, time, space, and intelligence, since they all came from the same place. The sum of that equation would of course be God.

Good grief. Non-sequitur piled on top of assumption piled on top of wishful thinking. I think you've demonstrated my point brilliantly.

That does not even make sense.
Do you want to have an ideagasm?

your unifying equation is called M theory. It has absolutly nothing to do with a character in a storybook written by people who had absolutly NO understanding of the natural world, at random times over many hundreds of years and endlessly transcribed translated altered messed with and interpreted by lunatics hell bent on personal power and control over populations for thier own gain.
Once further theoretical and practical work is done on M theory, I'm certain that an equation like you mention will be constructed. Will that then be enough to call it a day for the brainwashed flock? I doubt it. Unfortunatly we as a race are excellent liars, we lie to each other and we lie to ourselves in the face of overwhemling EVIDENCE to the contrary. We continue to be hindered by outragous beliefs formulated when we were basically in the bronze age. why this is I dont know. how anyone in the modern world could possibly even consider reigion is beyond me. It's sad. There's no need for it and it causes all sorts of suffering (recent Isreal / Gaza conflict...)

I couldn't agree more with your analysis of religion.Many have taken the beauty and simplicity of God's Words and turned them into a religion for the reasons you mentioned. This is regrettable but does not diminish the intended value of God's Word for spiritual edification. You have also described the dilemma we face because of our creative intelligence, good vs evil. But you have failed to provide an answer for the harm caused by our evil acts or a means of escaping them. As a species we have proven that reason and logic alone are insufficient to save us from ourselves.

Of course it doesn't. The concept of God is foreign to you.

Well then, I guess we can both sit back and feed good about ourselves, because you validate my point
as well.

Good point. Stephen Green might be able to use this in _his_ upcoming bus ad - "Garden fairies and God - you can't prove either one doesn't exist!"
Don't forget the unicorns! We wouldn't want them to feel left out.

I don't know but I think this is a pretty good description of the
people working on M-Theory
. String theory is a bit like writing religion in mathematical language

I didn't know that the people working on m theory were hell bent on world domination. How bout that.
And string theory is a way of trying to understand the world around us through logic and yes, math. That's quite different than saying some all powerful being decided one day he wanted to create something and then "poof". Yay varily, worship me or burn in hell.

Yes, we have established that science is different than faith.
poof...

Of course not. It is just the FSM's way of combating global warming.
