As has been mentioned, in Christianity, the Trinity (God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit) is considered to be one being with three different 'faces'. As y...
By 'States' I don't mean a political division, rather a state of existence. Specifically, whether or not a God exists, does not exist, is our creator,...
It is equally impossible for our minds to grasp infinite causation as it is something coming from nothingness. As you said yourself, "causation could ...
That's a very good point, but for the purpose of this debate, having something which creates you does not mean it is a God based on the fact alone tha...
Yes, these are possibilities, but they are not alternatives to whether or not you have a creator. In other words, you must have either no creator or a...
Have a look at this: The Three Spectra of Morality. Basically, it poses that there exists a hierarchy of spectra through which certain events/actions ...
Is the God which you are trying to prove one that exists inside or external to the natural, physical world? For example, the Ancient Greeks believed i...
Just a thought, but could you not also define something as being a 'thing' if it has an effect? For example, some things, like society, cannot be phys...
I personally want there to be a God, one which is benevolent and allows for semi-determinism. By this, I mean that God dictates certain key events whi...
I believe in a God, and am not an atheist. In that scenario, I was trying to point out that, for a theist, discovering that there is actually no God w...
I agree with you 100%. Neither theism nor atheism can be considered more 'rational' than each other. Linking to my previous post, you can say that bot...
Fear is a powerful motivator in humans. Especially fear of the unknown. Historically, and even today, God has provided for us something to explain the...
Let me reword my hypothesis: There are six possible conditions of God's existence. One of these is a certainty, and therefore there are no levels of h...
Using that same reasoning there is a fifty-fifty chance that there is a flying pink unicorn next to me chanting in Aramaic, because it either exists, ...
Why can't moral relativism be applied to an advanced civilisation? What evidence do you have to suppose that it must be immoral to simulate our realit...
It is possible that there are an infinite number of realities with an infinite number of constraints on how many/what kind of simulations they run, an...
Morality is inherently subjective. On Earth alone there are a plethora of different cultures with different views as to what is evil and good accordin...
Why is there necessarily only one reality and multiple simulations? Couldn't there happen to exist multiple realities which themselves may have an inf...
But is it not true that genetic defects which would normally kill certain individuals are now becoming more present in the species as a whole as those...
. Is it not true to say that even though we, as Humans, may have evolved to create laws which prevent stupidity from killing people of our own race, t...
The idea of three existing moral spectra does not impact the importance of the Human morality that we live by. Practically, this argument is used as a...
Perhaps these moralities don't exist as independent from each other, rather as existing within one another. For example, you mentioned sometimes Human...
Still, whether or not Humans created the idea of a God or not does not detract from these scenarios, as even if God is a human construction, other exp...
@"andrewk", I assume they are equally probable because there is no way we can know or prove that they are unequal. Whilst these scenarios are likely n...
