Why believe in God when his existence is so unlikely

[Turkic Albanian]

What's more likely

Option 1
>reality is self sustaining and stretches back infinitely
>big bang is a pocket of this infinite vector
>naturalism leads to biological life
>anthropic principle eliminates the statistical anomaly

Or

>Jewish peasant from 2000 years ago has the spirit of the supreme creator of the universe and he magically just clicked his fingers at some point in the past and said "let there be shit"

You cant use probability against theism

agree, people argue that “thomas aquinas five ways of god” proved how he existed but he was literally just rambling bullshit and could easily be proved false lmao. his argument is heavily flawed

Jesus is half alien and aliens created us for their own benefit or just for the sake of an experiment

When you study any high level branch of modern mathematics you will believe a god made all this bullshit

 

[Kahoas]

Just believe

Why can't science and religion work together if they both want to know the origin of our world?

No, it's just an illusion that the universe is custom made to sustain life

The anthropic principle highlights this, you wouldn't be asking the question if we didn't find ourselves in a pocket universe with the exact parameters to necessitate life

There's trillions of other universes (most likely) where life never forms because the parameter of gravity is too strong so planets never form and therefore life never forms to ask a question

It is true that at its core reality is very mathematical and information based but this in no way indicates it was created

And if you did want to go down that route then you mayaswell be arguing In favour of the simulation hypothesis (which I also reject) but is nevertheless much more plausible than the God hypothesis

Because religion doesn't follow the scientific method, it relies on out dated scripture or TALES to explain the natural world

They are at loggerheads where one attempts to unravel reality and the other manipulates reality to suit a comforting narrative
