1 chance in 10-to-the-164th power is not 0 chance.
Therefore, no god required.
If no god required, no god proved.
Besides, even if probability indicated the necessity of a god, and it doesn't, it doesn't indicate which god was necessary. Might have been the god of them heathen Hindoos. Or the Egyptians. Or the Norse.
Might'a been JHVH-1 as told by his hallowed prophet J.R. "Bob" Dobbs.
1 chance in 10-to-the-164th power is not 0 chance..
WHAT?
Just what I said. Unless a mechanistic explanation has
zero chance of being correct, it doesn't prove the existence of a god.
The Holmesian Maxim goes like this, "Once you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains -- however improbable -- must be the truth."
You haven't eliminated a mechanistic universe as impossible, just improbable. The existence of a god as described by the Abrahamic religions, on the other hand,
is logically impossible. The existence of a god is eliminated, mechanistic universe remains.
Okay, so the maxim,
"Once you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains -- however improbable -- must be the truth"
When neither is possible but one must be certain, I'll go for the one with the odds stacked against chance and with that, things are looking pretty good in favor of God.
Or, you can go with the, "Chariots of the Gods", aliens if you like since the numbers don't cover the specifics, only that an intelligence intervened at the genetic level.
I seldom bother kicking these things around because they just go around and around and around like a hamster on a treadmill, going nowhere because there's no proof to cite either way that'll settle it like throwing down an Ace and no amount of logic is gonna do it either.
There are no definitive mic drops in the God vs no God debate.
I just know that what I am and those I've known who've passed away have that something that transcends a few dollars worth of carbon and sorted minerals, and that magic mojo didn't end, it went somewhere I'll be going one day. Sure it's a comforting thought but it's not based on wishful thinking, it's a confidence I feel and know, can't explain it but it works for me.
Those that say religion is for those who can't wrap their head around science, I can. I know my way around a lab pretty well.
Then they say, it's for those who are afraid of the idea of facing death.. I'll take what comes, whatever the truth is, but I've got no fear of death or I wouldn't have made choices that really put my life in jeopardy so much people think I might have some kind of death wish.
I actually wondered about it myself, but then dove out of the way of an oncoming bus with an agility I never knew I possessed and ruled that out.
Thank God for the guardian angel must've helped push me out of the way lol.
