If you define "miracle" as something that only God can do then you might have a point. otherwise the closest you can get with this is that somehow Jes...

What do you consider "new theology"? is there an example of a new religion? sounds logical, but we know it's impossible to reach the ends of the unive...

If you're trying to turn this pool into average % that's a clear bias because the result will be positive regardless of how many people vote for 0% :s...

Agree, you can't argue on lack of ability to test for one thing but get over for another thing. If lack of the ability to perform tests is what determ...

I think the most reasonable percentage is 50% Because there is neither proof nor the other way around. That is, does God exist? maybe.

society functions on belief between people. it would be extremely difficult for society to function with zero belief if not impossible. first of all n...

If we turn monkey pox into hysteria as we did with COVID then we are really monkeys.

Your first premise is false because it should start with "IF" rather than "IT", that is, under assumption that something is self-explained rather than...

If you're so much about rehabilitation over revenge then you should favor torture over death penalty. if you favor lifetime prison instead of death, t...

It's not only about deterrent, but you seem to be suggesting that it's inhumane to perform torture as a punishment, Cangue ie. as a punishment is perf...

Your imagination for punishment methods is funny, but some facts about most severe evil must be taken into account: 1. We learned from history that ex...

it does, go ask any priest if you don't believe me.

This is far from truth, if I recall correctly epistle to the Romans says one can be saved by good deeds if it never had a chance to hear the gospel or...

evil part of universe?? maybe, but then your understanding of what is evil is not same as mine.

because nobody wants evil.

No, definitely not. I told you, because it would scare sh**t out of potential future evil doers. All of them, including most horrible such as crucifix...

Yes agree, evil is unique to humans, ex. saying that a Lion or Tiger are evil because they eat other animals is nonsense because animals are driven by...

To deal with evil we have laws but laws do not stop more evil and new kinds of evil. Evil can be chased away only with incense and torture but issue i...

Wrong, Lucifer was the bringer of light but become prince of darkness. Lucifer never was both. Isaiah 14:12-15

I disagree because usage of the word "eternal" here for universe which has a beginning brings only confusion into discussion. For universe it's more n...

I think you need to decide whether universe exists since ever, that is the universe is eternal or infinite or not? It's impossible to argue anything u...

I present you my argument but it seems you do not understand it, the video elaborates my argument in detail.

You disappointed me as a philosopher. :sad:

sorry but I'm layman for these things. I think it's logically possible because time moves forwards, meaning events add up to finite number rather than...

Universe without a beginning means a universe with infinite past events, which means there is no space for new event to add up to infinite number of e...

Therefore we agree universe has a cause, that is a beginning? See video and problem of Hillbert's hotel

Yes, indeed, but this would imply that universe has a beginning but no end, which is logically possible, however saying that there is no beginning is ...

Of course they do, how else would you count the number of past events? infinity indeed does not exist - it's unreal, and so is the idea of infinite un...

What do you mean by time is "intermediate", we are talking about number of past events. how many past events (of the universe) are there?

how do you add to infinity please? or how do you add an event to infinite amount of events? This is the problem of Hillbert's hotel.

:up: The issue in it's core is the following: 1. Universe is infinite 2. therefore the number of past events in history is infinite 3. therefore there...

Which is absurd and here is why: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vybNvc6mxMo

If the universe is not caused nor self-caused then what is it? eternal? A "finite past" means it's caused at some finite point, you're contradicting y...

because self-causation is unreal.

existing at all times = eternal = infinite correct? if not what do you mean?

Right, "IF", but what is your argument for eternal universe.

God is creator of all things Light is energy and thus created Therefore God cannot be light Furthermore light can not create anything

randomness requires things to manifest random behavior, nothing does not require anything since nothing is not-a-thing. nothing doesn't even require a...

The fact that never anything come from nothing is proof of itself. don't you think?

Nice, it implies that existence of universe without a supreme being is inexplicable and holds no ground https://theresidenttheologianblog.wordpress.co...

Sad, I think "edit post" should account for new quotes. Admins what do you think of this?

Question: If I quote someone in new reply they will receive notification. then If I edit my post to quote someone else in same post, will they receive...

Yes, because, nothing comes out of nothing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nothing_comes_from_nothing Only if universe is eternal, that is exists since...

It's easy to construct argument about God's existence, but existence and presence of God is 2 fold thing. 1 ) Argument about God only, ex. philosophic...

I find your argument in OP compelling because, the only thing that could make it wrong is biological phenomena of how intelligent life come to existen...

Ah, why is there something rather than nothing? Because of God. Awesome reason indeed! :up:

what? how?

I think existing is better than not existing is subjective because: A person having trouble living life will favor non existence, while a person livin...

One problem is that big bang is modern theory of universe, therefore a God which is the creator of big bang (or a series of big bangs) does not fit in...
