What Are The Odds?!


This is the third atheist quote I am to disprove:

"Gods are fragile things; they may be killed by a whiff of science or a dose of common sense."

There are many flaws in this quote.  First of all, this quote is assuming that all gods  are the same as our God, which I disproved in my last post.  Secondly, there is a lot of proof that God exists that science can actually back up.  I am going to give you a taste of what modern science has discovered and how it can actually strengthen the argument that there is an ultimate creator of the universe.
 
Modern science strongly backs up the big bang theory.  It has been found that our universe is growing.  I imagine the big bang as the ripple effect when you throw a stone in a pond.  Scientists say when the big bang was in motion the universe exploded from a point smaller than a single molecule.  Imagine the ripples growing from that point in every direction like a sphere.  The ripples from the explosion have slowed down but they haven't lost momentum. 

But what happened before that?  Modern science has no clue.  There are a lot of ideas but none of them can be remotely proven.  Some scientists will go as far as saying that nothing came before the big bang, that it just happened.  If my house burned down and I asked a fireman how the fire started, he wouldn't say "It just happened". 

Well it's lucky for logical people like us that there are other ideas that are much more plausible.  A new scientific idea is that the universe is the way it is because there is a God.  The way the big bang happened is very delicate.  If any element of the big bang was changed in the slightest  then our universe wouldn't be capable of supporting human life.  It is on the edge of impossible that we are alive.  A new scientific idea says the odds are too high for this to be a coincidence, that the universe was designed.  We call that designer God.

There is an alternative idea that is held high by scientists who resist any hint of an ultimate creator.  This theory states that there are millions of dimensions in which the big bang happened in millions of different ways, thus there are millions of universes.  They say that we just happen to live in the universe that supports life.  This is a major assumption in which there is no evidence whatsoever.  Doesn't it take just as much faith (or less) to believe that God created the universe?  So it turns out that "whiff of science or a dose of common sense" actually proves the existence of God.
