I believe in God. I was raised Catholic, but I have a lot of problems with the Church. Not just because of the child molesting priests. Throughout history the Church has done a lot of wrong while hiding behind the name of God.
But no matter what there is wrong with the Church, I do believe in God. The most logical way I've ever heard it explained is the whole Unmoved Mover.
- There exists movement in the world.
- Things that move were set into motion by something else.
- If everything that moves was caused to move by something else, there would be an infinite chain of causes. This can't happen.
- Thus, there must have been something that caused the first movement.
- From 3, this first cause cannot itself have been moved.
- From 4, there must be an unmoved mover.
Haha. Okay, and there is no such thing as stillness without movement.
I've read numerous people post these little multi-step if/then statements, and all of them are ridiculous. I mean, seriously, can you read those 6 steps and come out of it thinking, "Yeah! There has to be a God!"
So what's your logic for how the unmoved mover came about? You didn't seem to have to investigate that at all. It's, like, if yadayadayada then there must be a God. Well, I have news for you: The existence of God is equally as impossible as the existence of the world (more like impossible for us to conceive). But, not only is the existence of God impossible; it is incredibly illogical. Atleat we have science discovering more day by day. It wont be long before science unravels exactly what happened to create this crazy place.
Need you forget how complex this universe is? If there was a God, why on earth we he make this place so incredibly complicated and fucked up? Why would there be, undoubtedly, millions of uninhabited stars, doing nothing but wasting space (literally). If there was going to be an all powerful God that could do or create anything they wished, they would certainly make a simple and effective world. Also where did God exist in before he created the world? If he came before the world. If God doesn't have a body, and can exist even in supposed nothingness, how does he create ANYTHING? No mind to imagine it upon. No hands to build it. No mouth to speak it. Nothing.
God is an imagined and fantastical explanation to why we're here. There is something wrong if you can't see that. It's as obvious as 2+2 to an intelligent person.
