your answer admits there is a chance that someone could win, albeit small.
Its said a chance less than one to 10^50 will almost sure never happen.
Depends on the number of players and tries doesn’t it?
Potential has a strange property that once acquired it never goes away,
adquired by who or by what ?
Why don’t you read for once. You insist on remainng ignorant. All your arguments are from ignorance. I am willing to bet that you have used the word potential at least once in your life and most probably often. You have no clue as to the fundamental meaning of the word and its implications, yet you throw around the word god (an indefinable entity) as if you know anything about the concept.
Your god is nothing more than potential, a latent excellence without human emotions and motives.
all it needs is time and it will become reality.
amazing faith you have….
No just a little bit of knowledge about meaning of words. As a Dutchman I have had to read the English dictionary from cover to cover to learn the meaning and essence (a form of potential) of most words. What are the odds that a dutch born and raised person could become a formal english proposal writer? A dictionary and time made it inevitable. I did not become fluent in English by chance or by prayer.
If we consider the number of players in the game and billions of years to play the game, your 10^173 becomes almost certainty.
lets assume you are right, and the only hurdle is chance. When it comes to creating the first life, only chance is not enough. The cell is irreducible complex, therefore chance alone cannot account for the existence of life.
There IS NO irreducible complexity, every complex system can be broken down into seperate parts each of which can and do have their own, sometimes unrelated function. Again, read the refutations of irreducible complexity.
You keep clinging to the notion that nature had just one try at it. What if nature had 10^200 tries at it?
what or who tried ? remember, according to modern cosmology, there was nothing physical at the beginning.
Dynamic properties of even metaphysical potentials are a natural game of trial and error of chance encounters.
A clear example: a photon generated inside our sun is radiated outward from the center, but may take hundreds, even thousands of years before it reaches the surface of the sun. The density of the sun prevents the photon from traveling in a straight line and it is bounced back and forth by chance encouters with other particles. By the time it reaches the surface it may have traveled trillions of miles within the sun itself. But once, per chance, it reaches the surface, it takes 8 minutes to reach the earth. This holds true for every photon generated inside the sun and every star in every galaxy. Yet due to the sheer amount of photons produced inside these suns, there is a steady stream of photons in unimaginable numbers escaping which we feel as sunlight. Chance is a meaningless term when there are an infinite numbers of trials and errors. Sunlight itself is an example. Chance becoming inevitability.
Using your argument, everything in this universe is subject to your odds of 10^173. Look at the universe, my friend. Those odds translated into 100 billion galaxies (and more to come), each containing roughly 100 billion stars (and more to come), almost all having planets (and more to come).
how do you know it happened just by chance ?
Because it could and it did.
Your assumption of a created universe that is today what it was yesterday is myopic. The creative and destructive process is ongoing each and every instant in time. If there is a god he will find no rest until the universe ceases to exist, and that will be the death of your god as well.
I believe in a very powerful God. The number of stars is for him peanuts…...
Oh really, can you tell me the number of metaphysical and physical sub-atomic and atomic particles, compund molecules and their possible combinations? Again, odds mean nothing, enough players, enough tries, and enough time will inevitable bring some results.
Finally after many tries we have seen the instantiation of a boson, perhaps the Higgs, a theoretical particle which gives mass (and by extension gravity) to everything. A particle that was predicted by our knowledge of potential. Even before the instantiation of anything, the potential for that instantiation existed in a timeless state before the event.
When our sun goes nova, where will your god be? Will he help and put out the fire? or will he shrug his shoulders and say “Well we had a good run”.
the bible tells us, this universe will not exist forever. And God will create a second heaven, and a second earth, and they will be eternal.
Even assuming that a god had such power, it would admit failure of the first try, wouldn’t it? And how do you think the 149,000 priviliged people would adapt to a second BB? God luck with that one. Or, in case their souls lived in the first heaven, they would be transported to the second heaven? Can you see the contradictions? But then in your fairytale everything is possible due to the omnipresence of a supernatural being with human emotions, wants, needs, and motives.
Scence is already delving into the possible existence or creation of multiple universes, nothing new there. All very mathematical. No God.
And almost assuredly, not a biblical god, who has the emotional make-up of a chimpanzee, for that matter. Did you know chimpanzees believe thunder and lightning is caused by an “unseen enemy”, i.e. god? During a monsoon an alpha chimpanzee will run around waving a stick and trashing bushes in order to scare off this unseen enemy which which makes scary noises and throws fire and water at him. Later this god became known as Thor by the Nordic tribes.
“Thor (from Old Norse Þórr) is a hammer-wielding god associated with thunder, lightning, storms, oak trees, strength, the protection of mankind, and also hallowing, healing, and fertility”
What is the difference between Thor and your God?
