I reckon that it would sound childish and absurd to you, but then, most religious fables have the same childish and absurd quality about them.

This says it all. I already told you that neither ridiculous notion negates the existence of God.

The FSM theology does not negate the existence of god. Rather, it proposes that the FSM is indeed the much talked-about god.

We seem to be going back and forth.
Are we on the same page or are we having arguments on seperate threads?

Escapism.

ADDRESS THE ATTRIBUTES REQUIRED OF A CAUSE.

SIMPLE.
lol, they won't. they'd much rather ridicule

@plaetton, all he is asking is that you describe what attributes first cause would have. Simples. A conceptual analysis if you may.

why not start by giving us reasons why you think there is a first cause?

you just assume there is one and you would want us to agree to your assumptions.

Because the universe demonstrably had a beginning.

FSM also presupposes first cause.

And of course, by your logic, god demostrably had no beginning ., Right?

I just dont know how you can so fiercely argue that the universe must have a first cause, but magically, god cannot.
Because the universe occupies a spot in space and time, and ,god magically does not. right?

Conscisely, because the universe is matter,and matter cannot cause itself and as such, the cause of matter cannot be matter: and is therefore immaterial. That which is immaterial is naturally permanent and uncaused.

Simples.

Now answer my questions!

By reason.

It is logical to say that a first cause is eternal or immaterial:

Is it logical to say that a first cause is Indomie Noodles?

Come on. Be serious.

@Deepsight:

Pls answer honestly.
No matter how elegant,complete and reassuring it sounds, Is god, the uncaused cause, the eternal, immutable overlord of space and time, not a mental construct?

Can you demonstrate how god is demostrably eternal, immutable, uncaused, or that god even exists at all?

1. Something exists.

2. Something cannot come from nothing.

3. Thus something pre exists.

4. The pre existent cannot be nothing.

5. It is thus a permanent something.

Seriously speaking, first cause, eternal, immaterial; all these are mere mental gymnastics.
I should have the same liberty as you have to add noodles to the entire mental exercise. Why not?
Why should you display such prejudice against my own version of the mental gymnastics?

Dont hold ridiculous beliefs if you dont want to be ridiculed. cool


The term "matter" is used throughout physics in a bewildering variety of contexts: for example, one refers to "condensed matter physics",[87] "elementary matter",[88] "partonic" matter, "dark" matter, "anti"-matter, "strange" matter, and "nuclear" matter. In discussions of matter and antimatter, normal matter has been referred to by Alfvén as koinomatter.[89] It is fair to say that in physics, there is no broad consensus as to a general definition of matter, and the term "matter" usually is used in conjunction with a specifying modifier.

Beautiful logic.
By the same token, So if god exists, god cannot come from nothing, so there must be something pre-existent and more permanent than god.right?

Hhhmmm, what should we call it?
Let me see.
I know. please please, lets call it the Flying Spaghetti Monster(FSM).
What do you think?

O no: remember that matter is mutable and hence not self xistent. Thats the key. Simples.

The intagible is not caused. Eternity is intangible. Is it caused? There's your answer.

Eternity is an infinite. Infinites do no exist n the real world.

Nonsense. If eternity does not exist,then what else exists? In what does the universe exist? What timeline. Get serious.

In fact,just to re inforce how wrong this statement is: infinites DO EXIST in our reality.

Every particle can be sub divided to sub particles to infinity. Same with numbers. Same with everything.

So infinity is in fact the only reality.

Ode, numbers dont exist in the real world, they are ideological constructs


matter is the smallest material. No infinite in particles.

And the big bang was massive motion. Now tell me: are you unscientific enough to believe that such massive motion occurs without a trigger?

Do you think that such a trigger could be noodles?

Numbers do exist, otherwise you won't even be typing. I don't expect that you are philosophically mature enough for us to venture into the discussion on numbers though.

O really? Oya, show me the smallest particle na?
