Fun things

As usual I write god for nonsense and God for sense. I was searching the web for some information on the brain for a seminar I’m giving next week and came to a site which claimed scientific proof for god. Since the greatest minds in the history of humanity have not come up with a proof of the existence of God I was extremely curious.

The post had this gem:

The Humanist Manifesto says, “Matter is self-existing and not created,” and that is a concise statement of the atheist’s belief.

Fair enough, theists believe that “god is self-existing and not created,” so there is absolutely no gain or proof there.

Later on there was this second gem:

A third scientific proof that the atheist is wrong is seen in the second law of thermodynamics. In any closed system, things tend to become disordered. If an automobile is driven for years and years without repair, for example, it will become so disordered that it would not run any more. Getting old is simple conformity to the second law of thermodynamics. In space, things also get old. Astronomers refer to the aging process as heat death. If the cosmos is “everything that ever was or is or ever will be,” as Dr. Carl Sagan was so fond of saying, nothing could be added to it to improve its order or repair it. Even a universe that expands and collapses and expands again forever would die because it would lose light and heat each time it expanded and rebounded.

The atheist’s assertion that matter/energy is eternal is scientifically wrong. The biblical assertion that there was a beginning is scientifically correct.

Actually the person who wrote this was not a scientist since in an oscillating universe the second law of thermodynamic reverses in the shrinking phase and light and heat being forms of energy would collapse due to the gravitational pull and if the universe goes on expanding forever that still does not give a clue about the existence of god. Perhaps if God exists she does not wish to have a scientific proof for her existence.

NOTE: I do not believe God has a gender but is beyond all words, concepts and definitions as the Tao Te Ching says, “The Tao (ultimate reality) which can be named (put into words) is not the true Tao.” I use she just to bait fundamentalists who imagine god is a stupid white old man like John McCain the alleged war criminal….

Note: Original I had a typo - the title had become: Proof of existence od god
perhaps it should have been: Proof of existence odd god
