There is no proof that god exists. there is much scientific evidence of evolution and how we came about to be. creationism to me is just illogical. there is also no proof that he doesnt exist, but it is a lot harder to prove nonexistence than existence. Is there a god? no one KNOWS for sure so there is no correct yes or no answer.
1) Mathmatically improbable - approx 10_37 (10 to the 37th power) against it. Imagine having a pile of dimes that cover every square inch of North America - and go all the way to the moon. Now multiple that huge pile of dimes by 1 billion. So you have 1 billion piles of dimes that are EACH the size of NOrth America and are as tall as from here to the moon. Take one dime, mark it, and hide it somewhere in one of those 1 billion piles. Blindfold someone, and have them pick out that one dime at random. The odds of getting that marked dime is 10_37.
2) Read "Darwin's Black Box" - it specifically addresses our DNA strains scientifically, and shows how DNA is, basically in the simpliest terms, and instruction manual. It can give a mutation of "use an 1/8 nut" in place of the correct "use a 1/4 nut; but it cannot have you make a transistor radio when the instructions are for a printer.
3) That's not necessarily true - maybe you just aren't smart enough yet.
4) Anyone can believe what they want - but that does not necessarily make it true or untrue.
5) valid
6) valid
You being here is your proof that a higher intelligence exists. It is mathmatically improbable that this universe could come into existence without help from a greater being. What evidence do you have the evolution exists? Evolution is a sci-fi story (a good one though), that was made up by Darwin's grandfather. They did not have the scientific knowledge of the universe that we have now. How can evolution explain how the universe could come into existence? Scientific laws show that the Big Bang could not have happened. I can explain in more detail if needed.
