There's probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life

Uh... because it is impossible.
Sure, it might go on forever now that we have some, but it can not stretch into an infinite past. If it did... how did we get to this very moment? Was it after an infinite number of "seconds" or "minutes" or "femto-seconds" or whatever has transpired?
Obviously not. An infinite number of time, no matter how you divide it up, can not have ALREADY gone by. There would always be at least one more time-unit to go!
It could be argued that the moment always existed, therefore not needing a "beginning."
Some species are simple clones that do not evolve (not totally sure about that, they could still mutate, if they evolve, they do so very slowly), but for most types of living things, such a strategy would lead to certain death when their environmental niche played out. Probably what happened is that both types of strategies existed, and the ability to evolve was the clear winner.
Hah heres a quote to consider next time you use the word impossible.
But anyway the Christians have launched a response campaign!

Haha so the Christians get all upset when Atheists say "probably no god" then they come right around and say "There definitely is a God."
I cannot believe how ignorant fundies are.
so IOW your experience as an ex-christian is sufficient to contextualize anyone's experience as a theist?
Can someone say COP OUT?!?
can someone say doesn't understand basic principles of internet discussion forums ?
meh! mine isn't quite as catchy as yours - but it is closer to the mark
Absurd. Most christians worry more & enjoy life less than most atheists.
Absurd. Throw a deck of cards enough times & that WILL happen.
If that is too complex to happen by chance, gods are even more unlikely to happen by chance.
No. That would make it inevitable yet not by chance.
He didn't say or imply that. As usual you put a weird warped wacko twist on others' comments.
The bold bit highlighted certainly doesn't appear to be written in first person ....

And it could happen any time. The chances of ANY "arrangement" are the same as any other.

Science? You speak of science and talk with such blasphemy(giggles at irony)?
I don't think logic works that way. If infinity subtracted from infinity results in zero, aka now, the idea that something has always existed does seem wrong, but not impossible.
