You have put forth the argument for deism. What you have yet to address is the existence of Yahweh as this creator in question.
Even if an open minded person is willing to concedea deliberate design by an unknown source, you must still show them why the source is Yahweh.

You are tasked with providing proof that Yahweh exists. Everyone already knows that the universe had a beginning and may choose to interpret that information according to his own discretion. You must show me why the beginning was in fact the resurrected Jew from Palestine called Jesus.

We can see that your beef is with Jesus Christ, it is not that you are really an atheist.
You would have said that in another thread, not wether "atheist or not" forum.

Lolzzzz I get your point my friend. But that was the only point I could deduce. Sometimes you gotta quote from scriptures to prove your points.

lordnicklaus what did i tell you from the on set of this thread, you'll get no reasonable discussion or debate.

this is just another trolling heaven where unrelated epileptic arguments and ad hominems are regurgitated.

Its not about opening the thread like i said earlier, it's about the caliber og people in it..

Please my questions will be a little bit science inclined. Questions to Atheists:

A. Does this make sense to you?
EVERYTHING= NOBODY + NOTHING

Yes.

rawgame:

B. Mathematics is a perfect science and the foundation of Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, which provided proof that the universe and time itself had a beginning. Since nothing comes from nothing, what option does that leave us?

There was always "something".

rawgame:

C. Einstein also discovered that we live in a world of time, space and matter. How did the bible get this right? In Gen. 1:1

In the beginning (time), God created (energy) the heavens (space) and the earth (matter).

That scripture also incorporates a three-dimensional world. Which was later stipulated by Einstein as time space and matter. How did the author of the bible get that right?

We always knew we lived in a world of time, space and matter. Einstein described it better for us.

The Bible is still wrong though. We live in a four dimensional universe.

It is scientifically proven that we live in a universe of cause and effects(because the universe is not without the dimension of time) so the universe cannot be eternal. But without the dimension of time there will be no cause and effect. Therefore God has not need of being created but created time(see my initial post below) dimension so that cause and effect would exist for us.

However, God created time, cause and effect would never apply to his existence. So, God is eternal and the universe is clearly not

Yes.
I stopped replying mentions when i notice they are based upon premises such a person is ignorant of, you shouldn't have bothered.

what people fail to grasp is, if you take the universe and everything to a state of nothingness, that means nothing exists and if nothing exists then there are no laws, not motion, not cause and effect or gravity, thermodynamics because there is nothing.

so if there is no cause and effect law then the universe even universes are fully capable of generating themselves.

secondly 'CAUSE and Effect' also is epileptic in the quantum scale; subatomic particles has been noticed to speed up all by themselves without any external force acting on them, particles pop in and out of existence (quantum fluctuation)

but yet science does not propose nothing, theist only think "nothing" because that which science propose is not "God"


There was always "something".

Exactly and we do not know of events before the Big Bang or even the nature of the universe we live in

if there are certain critical amount of matter in the universe then universe will continue to expand forever.

if there are more matter in the universe then the gravitational effect will be enough to reverse the expansion and thus crunching everything back into a small point.

which if is correct science then thinks the universe is an eternal cycle, expansion,;contraction and expansion.. this big bang then might not be the first; only or last...


We always knew we lived in a world of time, space and matter. Einstein described it better for us.

sure 3spartial dimensions plus time

it's a waste of time teaching one who pull off scientific conjectures they don't even understand just to argue.

Right on all counts.

I just have some spare time and have decided to poke these religious folks a bit. It used to be the case that they would accuse non-believers of just dumping quotes from scientists. Now we have religious people who just dump articles and when pressed, find themselves unable to defend the article.

Its mostly sad when you don't really understand the scientific thesis you used...

there is another thing i noticed that is laughable, theists open threads trying hard to reconcile scientific facts with their religious texts.

you see threads like 'Science agrees with the bible' where they try hard to reinterpret religious texts to mean what they want.

when you open such a thread you'll still see a situation when evolution comes up, the same person who opened the thread will be the same to say science is nonsensical and irrational propelled by the devil..

outrightly deny and talk down on the same science you are begging to agree with your religious texts.

it's hilarious

most of these arguments are based on emotions and gut feelings rather than intellectual curiosity and honesty

For example ,


They say " let there be light " in the book of genesis is an obvious proof that moses knew about the big bang , but what they do not know is that for hundreds of thousands of years after the big bang the universe was devoid of a single photon of light . and they confuse the big bang to mean an explosion of some sort .



The kind of tight spots christians put themselves in when they try to use science to prove primitive myths as the truth. grin cheesy

thehomer:

This is getting interesting, what if I may ask? But you just admitted that this equation makes sense
NOBODY+NOTHING=EVERYTHING

thehomer:

My emphasis was that Einstein actually made a discovery(which means it was not known) that the universe comprises of these basic components. This discovery was parallel which a Biblical account. Moreover, Einstein also stipulated that this components had a beginning.

thehomer:



The Bible is still wrong though. We live in a four dimensional universe.

Your definition of dimension is most likely that of spacetime then which is on a spatial(length, breath and height) and temporal(time) basis which makes it four in all. You are also correct anyway. But there are other definitions of dimensions. Dimensions could also be regarded as aspects or attributes. Which also makes me correct in this regard. However, I was also concerned with that of a physicist. "physical properties that are regarded as fundamental measures of a physical quantity." I hope you understand me?

Dimension simply means "direction". Not "attributes".

Accept that you're wrong. I a one dimensional plane you can only go in two directions, in a 2 Dimensional plane you can go in 4 directions and so on and so forth. Energy is not a dimension.
Re: Peaceful Debate Between Theists And Atheists Holds Here by Nobody: 11:48pm On Jun 18, 2016
Why do theists immediately jump to the "something can't come from nothing" argument?

even as invalid add that argument is, they hold on to it with their dear lives. Ask them to argue that their god is the true god and their problems begin.

Fact remains that all religions are the same. Lousy creation stories, crappy holy book, a god that some how comes from nothing and conrete proof for any of them is non existent
