Description

God is a widely believed theory across the world but why believe in it?

Do not ever "let CON go first" in a two round debate. You never stupiulated that CON must wave the final round, so it is just increasing your chances of defeat.

Just because a range of life permitting values exists doesn't mean that fine-tuning isn't the case. When my brother fine tunes his car there are numerous possible ranges for various things, but only a small section constitutes fine-tuning (even if that small section is a range of possible values).

Fred Adams (2019) cautions against claims that the universe is extremely fine-tuned for life. According to him, the range of parameters for which the universe would have been habitable is quite considerable. In addition, as he sees it, the universe could have been more, rather than less, life-friendly. Notably, if the vacuum energy density had been smaller, the primordial fluctuations (quantified by Q) had been larger, the baryon-to-photon ratio had been larger, the strong force had been slightly stronger, and gravity slightly weaker, there might have been more opportunities for life to develop (Adams 2019: sect. 10.3). If Adams is right, our universe may just be garden-variety habitable rather than maximally life-supporting.

Yeah! I'd be interested in doing that some time.

The intention of the debate is very clearly that the instigator wanted to debate the existence of a deity. If we were to go with the interpretation that I should be arguing why not believe in the existence of a deity (and thus pro argues for the existence of a deity), it contradicts the title.

Since the description is "God is a widely believed theory across the world but why believe in it?", shouldn't Con be why we should not believe in it?

We've got to run this God debate.

Good luck to both PRO and CON

Ahhh shit. Here we go again.

Fresh blood! Welcome to the cite.
