The probability of any god existing is dead on zero. Science proving a god exists? Obviously you must be a deluded Christian. A non believer is not a believer since that's its definition. I find it extraordinary that theists still exist, especially with Google been around for so long now.

Probability looks at all the evidence and makes an informed decision. There is NO evidence of a god. No one disputes the probability of a god existing is zero, you are the first one. I've had a lot of online debates with Christians and after stating what I said they usually come back with the nonsense of the confirmed contradictions of the bible, at which stage I state a few and then quote the first Google hit about bible inconsistencies and contradictions (there are a lot). But YOU, asked about the probability itself! That was a first, I even feel you may have hope in learning and thinking for yourself.

Actually I find deists to be the best to chat to and inform why they are wrong. In my view deists are one step away from being an atheist (ie open minded). We can start with the false line you said at the bottom of your reply if you like? Ideally it would be best to ask why do you believe in the first place since there is no reason to? Since that's just getting to the point. Once I had a long debate with a deist and in the end he informed me about how believes in mythical sin. I told him that means he's a deluded Christian as that's where that originated from (only 2000 years ago in our 3 billion life on Earth history). Another 'agnostic' debate saying similar things to you ALSO turned out to be a theist lying again. Generally a lot of 'deists' and 'agnostics' (in the middle, which is impossible of course) are theists in disguise. This is one of the biggest concerns with theism, the fact they will outwardly lie to others with misconceptions and misunderstandings about their own misguided deluded beliefs. With all that aside, please tell me why you feel a deist done it :) And hopefully it's not god of the gaps you just stated, as Duh, i dunno wot made our planet, therefore mythical god. When the best answer to that would be, so could have it been aliens with a million times more intelligence than you? Yes? Therefore, that is more likely than a mythical 'god' who knows everything but made our universe, already knowing the end! What a waste of effort, you could say that would be useless and weak minded. Deism has strong similarities to theism, you just need a church and a lot of believers, hey you could even write a book of man made laws. Can you tell me what your god is thinking right now? Or anytime? Wait, why do you believe in a mythical god without a shred of evidence? Do you believe in a winged horse too?

Abdurahman Bazoune I know about Islam Abdurahman, and it is equally as wrong as Christianity. Actually sometimes I feel Islam is better than Christianity, it came out after Christianity, it does talk about peace. BUT, sometimes I think it's worse than Christianity, kill those who don't accept the religion and hurt women and children. Lets just agree they are both equally bad.

I have it. There is NO god :)

Look up the evolution tree, its a lot of extinct species, like most.

+Justwantahover Well as I'd guess you are probably aware of Drake Equation, it equates to around 1 million intelligent life species in our galaxy alone (let alone the billion other too far away galaxies). Which would make a trillion. I feel its unlikely we are alone as even intelligent species. Regarding human evolution from now on. Since we are finally able to think and observe the universe (plus even send out intergalactic spacecraft) It is possible we may be at the end of our species (we can go no further) although this could have easily been said about great apes etc. Plus we are at the best time to study the cosmos. In another billion years and possible new species, all solar systems and galaxies will be too far spread out: A galaxy 200 Mly from us would typically be moving away from us with a velocity of 6000 km/second!!! So THIS is the time to make any contact with our species OR the trillion of other intelligent species across the entire universe. I hope my answer wasn't too technical towards your initial question. But helps improve our known knowledge of intelligent species within our local galaxy. How will intelligent humans do this? Only science can help through discovery. Not too long ago humans thought they couldn't design flying machines (not looking it up, but lets say an insignificant century) So warp speeds near to the speed of light with embryos on! may not be out of the question in another hundred years. It doesn't help us specifically, except as the humans trying to evolve technically as well :)

Hi Justwantahover I agree warp is warping spacetime, as you might have eventually referred to that above the speed of light is either stopped or backwards in time! But lets not go there. The hopeful (hopefully discovered) intelligent life that must be out there with say science like ours, is obviously high across the ENTIRE universe, so I won't argue numbers when we both must agree it's billions. Actually without reading everything back up top. IF intelligent life ABOVE our intelligence (and likely of course) exists, then it may be the same way we humans communicate with ants - um they don't understand us, who cares about ants :D (generally speaking). Lastly getting into scaling. Thankfully there are many sites and people mapping out the known universe precisely (as much as humanly possible in our time). This mapping can already be freely looked up on the Internet and observed. Light YEARS are a definite bother to scientists. Especially MLYears! So, again, lets hope our science advances help gain a presently seemingly impossible task of going to other galaxies one day. If god intended us to fly (between galaxies) he would have given us wings (wings of innovation to help discover new ideas) Oh wait, these are human traits :) So I'll stay optimistic.

+Justwantahover Why did I think Death Star when you said, 'ball colonizing the galaxy'? :) Yes about a billion years away, although humans have only been here 200k years, I somehow agree with that Drak idea the factor of if we eventually destroy ourselves! Either way a billion years is definitely further than our species looking at ALL life that we know. Except maybe plants. The scale you gave to distance of Pluto does make things look more optimistic. I like that scaling :)

+Justwantahover For an ant to go 1 mile away may be further than it would ever go in one lifetime. But if it was picked up by a person in a car (or even the wind) it may only take 3mins of travel time ;) (Actually I just looked it up, they tend to travel mainly in small circles about 13 miles in their lifetime, so not much). So regarding scaling, it IS still possible to travel much further than a human could ever go, with outside influences. Although to get above light speed I feel the only way to do this would be to move the entire galaxy itself with us basically standing still. Or use a wormhole :) Where are all the aliens! :D

You need to ask the first frog if he asked the second frog if that frog was the right one what would he say. Wait a minute, this is not THAT riddle.

Damarius McFarius I don't think that answer is enough. If we quickly turned the Earth around (and then obviously blocked the sun) we would see different stars! The point is the Earth IS spinning round and round plus going round the sun, why can't the northern hemisphere ever see the southern hemisphere stars? Is it a perfect mathematical revolution whilst going around the sun that Earth ALWAYS shows the same side at night? Wow. You know to go to the other hemisphere of Earth to see what they see WOULD be worth it. But since Earth consistently rotates you'd think I see those different stars one day? (meaning night :D ) Anyway, I didn't even ask this, I'm just explaining the person's question. If I truly wanted to know I'd got to some cosmos site and start learning why.
