['What's the probobility of god existing', someone responds "0 or 1"]
Exactly! Subsequently 1 is at once both the highest number and the lowest number for you can have only one part on the low end even if minutely small or one whole on the high end even if immensely large.
So, with that being said the probability of 100% of everything coming from 0 is absolutely 0 and Likewise the probability of 100% of everything coming from 1 is absolutely 1.
There you have it, proof that God exist!

Geek: The 0 and 1 seems to be referring to probability, not percent. Probability 1 = 100%, .5 = 50%, etc. And technically the original response is correct; the existence of god is predetermined, either god exists or god doesn't exist, which means the probability is either 0 or 1 (0% or 100%)

Oh, Bodhitharta, this is just another way of saying god either exists or does not exist. It is nothing you can base a sensible argument on.
The poster is absolutely clueless in mathematics and logic, of course, but what he says raises an interesting question as to the interpretation of the concept of "probability". Someone who is an "objectivist" about probability would say that as either God exists or not, without anything random in it, the probability is either 0 or 1 (StandardDeviant takes this position). A "subjectivist" (also called a Bayesian) would say that probabilities are degrees of rational belief, so for any proposition there is a probability which is a measure of the degree of confidence we ought to have in the proposition given all our available evidence. This seems to be Papabear's interpretation.
Aesmael: It depends on whom you ask. My impression is that most experts would say that yes, one approach works better in some areas and the other in other areas, but they are not exclusive. http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/probability-interpret/
You, sir, are a certified ID10t. Probability makes no difference in this argument. It is either true or false, 0 or 1. I assert it to be zero, and my assertion has a greater probability of being true than yours (i.e. mine is much greater than zero, while yours IS zero). Numbskull.
<<< Everything comes from out of something and there is always something. There is never such thing as nothing. Therefor God is a much more rational belief than to believe in nothing. >>>
...and this alleged God of yours Bodhitharta, where exactly did he/she/it come from?
What is god? If "god" is supposed to be a real, singular entity, god's existence is either "yes" or "no". But if "god" is something created in the mind of each believer, then god either is or isn't, times the population of the world.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
