> Scientists Find Evidence of God
God, or gods? If one posits the existence of one god, why not
accept the existence of multiple gods? Was the universe created
by a team? How could we tell? If there's only only one god,
did it manipulate the universe to look as though it had been
created by a team, or evolved naturally? If there are multiple
gods, did they manipulate the universe to look as though it had
been created by a single god, or evolved naturally?
If one posits the existence of one or more creator deities, then
such deities could have manipulated the universe however they
wished, for purposes that humans can't comprehend - mustn't an
honest investigator disregard ALL evidence pro or con re: god(s),
since the evidence COULD be manipulated, tainted?
If one invokes god(s) to explain the origin/structure of the
universe, what forces/entities must be invoked to explain the
origin of the god(s)? Who intelligently designed the intelligent
designer(s)? Or did it/they evolve naturally, and if so, where/
when/how? Doesn't any invocation of gods merely push back the
question of origins into unexplorable realms? Doesn't saying
"one or more gods did it" equate to "I don't know and I'll never
be able to find out, so I'll stop looking here" ?? Isn't the
invocation of god(s) a dead-end, a capitulation?
Evolution has been observed - why invoke god(s)? Abiogenesis has
been observed - why invoke god(s)? How complex is/are god(s)?
If observations of life and the universe can be explained without
invoking god(s), and god(s) is/are more complex than the deduced/
observed forces and phenomena of nature, aren't god(s) the least
likely workable explanations? Doesn't Occam's Razor preclude gods?
