Using Science to justify the presence of God

I typed exist into google search (looking for exist xml database) when I happened to notice the third hit: Does God Exist. I thought, umm...interesting. What is this site about? The summary on the google results page said Bimonthly online journal that provides scientific evidence for God's existence. I definitely had to take a look.

Well, the first line claims that the lecturer will try to prove existance of God by using logical, practical and pragmatic proof purely from a scientific point of view. Ok, sounds good, go on then.

The first question that the lecturer tries to answer: What is God? He creates an anology of a human being in 'flatland' where the flatland is a 2 dimensional space. A human being is part of this 2-dimensional space (red flag 1). He then introduces a 3 dimensional sphere into this flatland. Since the human being is in 2d space, he claims that the sphere can only be seen by the human being as a 2d object. If the sphere claims that it is 3d (red flag 2), the human being won't believe it because he/she is not in 3d and he/she does not see things in 3d (red flag 3) and does not understand what 3d is (red flag 4).

There is science here, yes. The science is about all objects having 3 dimentions and we being able to percieve it in 2 or 3 dimensions based on our line of sight. That is pretty much where science ends and personal belief begins.

Red flag 1 - Why would you compare humans and life to 2d? What justifications do you have for that? I don't see any science here.

Red flag 2 - Sphere (aka God) claims that God is 3d. umm.. I haven't heard any such claims :)

Red flag 3 and 4 - Why would humans not be able to see 3d even if they are 2d? Any real scientific justification for that?

In my opinion, whatever the lecturer is talking about is utter bullshit (no offence meant to anybody who agrees with him or believes in what he says. This is just my opinion). He takes the questions that we have, comes up with non-scientific answers and builds an anology in the scientific world to conclude that science can be used to prove God.

I tried to read his "pragmatic, scientific and logical" answers to 'Who created God?' I gave up.

Oh well, another preacher who hasn't quite understood by himself what he wants to preach to others.
