About Does God Exist?
This application helps you explore an age-old question, "Does God Exist?" It starts by asking you to consider what you mean by God, then presents a series of observations. You'll be asked to indicate how consistent each observation is with the existence and non-existence of God. In the end, the odds that God exists are computed.
Obviously, this application isn't likely to settle the debate, but it should provide food for thought and lively discussion. I've had Christians tell me the app promotes atheism and atheists tell me it promotes belief in God. However, the result is not predetermined nor is this app intended to expound one conclusion. Rather, it is designed to help you think about the issues.
After you've done a calculation, you can share the results via email, Google+, etc. (Facebook doesn't work, but that's Facebook's fault not mine.)
Some suggestions for use:
1. Facilitate discussions between believers and non-believers, to help understand differences.
2. Guide a discussion in an introductory philosophy class.
3. Conversation starter when you are sitting on an airplane or bus. (Ok, maybe not.)
Questions you can try to answer using the app:
1. Is an indifferent or evil God more probable than an all-powerful, loving God?
2. Is a God with limited power more probable than an all-powerful God?
3. How do your answers to the individual questions differ from those of a friend with different beliefs, and why?
Your suggestions for improving this app are welcome. Please use the "Email developer" link to send your suggestions.
Mathematical note: the app uses Bayes' theorem to perform the calculations, with a prior probability of 50%. Individual probabilities are restricted to the range 1% to 99% to prevent any single consideration from determining the outcome. Note that the reason that each observation has two questions is that we need these two responses to apply Bayes' theorem. If you are interested in Bayes theorem, check out my "Bayes Rule Calculations" app.

The religkous god (s) doesn't, another god(s)? We don't know, but nothing so far, probably the product of the human mind when reality is too harsh, no evidene or proof yet and probably will never be.

I won't get into it to in depth about how flawed this app is. That said if a person dl's this to try to get an appraisal of likelihood of god's existence but then have 2 attributes to describe him with him or her with hmm 3 degrees of the traits and them are asked 13 opinion questions and givena 7 point rating scale to rate the attributes' consistency with their own description the results will be skewed biased unscientific and fundamentally flawed.

You can't have a question dies this exist and have the first question be "what are the attributes of your god". There is no answer for non existent. This is another lame attempt to try and reconfirm beliefs in those who already have them with arguments from ingorance fallacies. Deleted

This app can point out inconstancies between a believer's concept of God and the reality of the existence of pain and suffering in the world. Loved it!

No more valid than a magazine quiz but without any of the fun. Goes on forever and only gives you a number at the end - no scores to add up, no descriptions to giggle at and share. After I'd done it my friend didn't even bother. Zero stars.

This app entirely ignored the third and most important option of "I dont know". All of the questions are asking your opinion about things you cannot possibly know.

Even though I an young child I know for a fact that God is real and he is still alive and is not dead. And if little children like me can obviously see that and u can't then something is wrong with you and your life and u should change it immediately before it is too late. Cause you never know when you're gonna die and see him face to face and by then it will be too late. And BTW I'm not ashamed of Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. And neither should you be.☆Happy☆ ♡Valentine's♡ ☆Day☆. God loves you!!!

I believe in God's existence, Humans may not have enough wit to challenge the question of the extent of His love and Powers, for the wisdom of man is unwise before God.....

The questions and texts are worded in such to be anti-god it seems. I could easily put in different facts that would get different responses more in tune to pro-God. Plus unless you actually have an real understanding of Christianity have open mind you couldn't accurately answer any of it truthfully.

You have done a good job with this app. My results says its completely likely to have an indifferent God with unlimited power. Please make more apps like this, I'm reconmmending this to my friends, well done.

A person's personal observations don't create fact. Unless I rewrite the definition of 'god' to include my pillow, the questions are moot. 1 additional star for not requiring outlandish permissions. You did beat my assumption on that item.

Can't tell what you have already answered. Needs a way to go to next screen. Also wouldn't hurt to have directions or an explanation of what to do.
