Do you believe in God?

Post Reply New Topic

There is no evidence that any gods exist, so I'm an atheist.

In guessing like all polls, this one does not truly represent reality.

IMO there are as mentioned more agonist-ism. < not a word?

The word you're looking for is agnosticism.

The "gods" I have read about in some religions sound a lot more like alien warlords then benevolent "gods". I do not believe in a "god" that tortures people eternally or reincarnates people as animals.

Thanks for finding the lost word.

Penrose's Conclusion?

Chances of the universe's low entropy coming about by chance is 1 in 10^10^123.

This conclusion is unfounded; we have only one sample size (our own universe), so we have no idea about the effects of (slightly) differing universal constants, nor do we know how large a "small" difference can be.

with a sample size of 1, it is impossible to give chances on anything, so this number is baseless.

also, the chance of me writing this message is even smaller than that 1 in 10^10^123, yet it happened.

1) Because we can do theoretical physics, we can tell the effects of changing the universal constants.

2) It does not matter if we have a sample size of one - that's what Bayesian probability is for.

3) The likelihood of you writing this post as a statistically unlikely fact is, in a probabilistic fashion, impossible to analogize.

Of course not, I'm autistic.

Believe whatever you want, it's all cool.
