| I just thought of an excellent way to conceptualize it:
Picture an infinitely long chain of dominos.
The end domino would be the creation of our universe.
With each domino that falls over, the falling constitutes the effect of the previous domino falling over, and the cause for the next domino falling over.
In this chain, what is the probability that just one of the links is a god, that had the intention of continuing the chain of events?
Here's an equation for that probability, courtesy of Cappy:
1-((1-p)^n)
Where "n" equals the number of trials, and "p" equals the probability of a certain event.
Given - n = infinity.
If "1> p > 0", then the odds of our universe not being created by a god are infinitessimally small.
If "p = 1", then the odds of our universe not being created by a god are zilch. |
