SoftwareMathematical Proof of the Absurdity of the God Concept
A mathematical formula based on logarithms now proves undeniably that the God concept is absurd. The formula I named FFG demonstrates mathematically that absolute certainty is absurdity.
GETTYSBURG, PA, May 15, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- God"s main attribute is absolute certainty: Nothing is absolutely certain, but Almighty God. Therefore, God represents absolute absurdity!
In words, the Fundamental Formula or FFG expresses that:
"The Everything Is Certainly Probable."
We symbolize by p the probability of an event, DC as the degree of certainty, and N the number of trials for an event of probability p to appear with the degree of certainty DC. The three elements lead to a formidable formula:
N = log(1 - DC) / log(1 - p)
Abraham de Moivre, a French/English mathematician and philosopher discovered the first steps of this formula that explains the Universe the best. I believe Monsieur de Moivre was frightened by the implications of finalizing such formula would have led to: The absurdity of the concept of God. I did finalize the formula, for the risks in my lifetime pale by comparison to the eighteenth century.
From now on, we shall always be mindful that nothing comes in absolute certainty. Everything comes in degrees of certainty -- never Zero, never Absolutely.
Many have a problem with randomness as in random events, as in chaotic, unpredictable phenomena. In fact, the differentiating factors of phenomena are the probability and the degree of certainty. Thus, the Everything consists of phenomena with an infinite number of degrees of randomness.
The Universe is mathematical, therefore perfectly ordered, right? "God doesn"t play dice with the Universe," as Einstein put it. But isn"t playing dice an expression of mathematics, specifically probability theory? The degree of certainty is higher than zero that a gamma-ray burst or a supernova can wipe us out or suck us in without scientific notice. That"s how dicey the Reality is! It happens millions of times every millisecond all over the Universe...
The Ultimate Principle has been a major preoccupation since the beginning of philosophy and thinking. Pythagoras saw the Number as God. Descartes also saw the perfection of mathematics as perfection of the Universe. Plato had the Eternal Forms as the Ultimate Principle. For Aristotle, it was the Unmovable Mover. It was the Absolute Idea, the Geist for Hegel. It"s pantheism--all is God, God is All.
Kant had an interesting point: "It is thoroughly necessary to be convinced of God"s existence, it is not quite so necessary that one should demonstrate it." Probably in a contrarian response to Kant, the French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre made a stunning announcement: "God is dead!"
Well... God was never born, to begin with!
All the mathematics is clearly explained on a number of pages at my website:

Mathematics of Fundamental Formula of the Universe
There is also free software to back up the theory. The fundamental formula (FFG) can be also verified by coin tossing. Or dice rolling — one doesn"t have to be an... Einstein!
