God : The extremely powerful uncaused necessarily existing non-contingent non physical immaterial eternal being who created the universe and everything in it . Created in the sense the universe relies on God's existence for its existence .

Are we clear now ?

Yeah. I want to understand why your God must be non physical and immaterial?

How does the universe rely on God's existence for its own existence. How can we know this for sure?

I seriously wonder what concerns a "deist" with a question thrown at "Christians"

"Why Do Christians Rage, When Atheists Demand Proofs?"

Why are atheists commenting on this thread then? grin

What concerns them with questions thrown at Christians?

BTW, my question is still pending....

Theism claims that God is an eternal being therefore it's existence does not need to be explained in terms of causality: but it also appeals to logic that there is no restrictions to the amount of eternal uncaused beings that can exist.

if one can exist then 2 can as well as 3 as well as billions of eternal things .

if you are to save a step and deny God the explanation of a cause then anybody can simply save that same step and deny a causality for the universe - there is no way that it works out for you.

one can also in the same way save a step and attribute every possible universe to an eternal multiverse within a hyper space. the possibilities are endless.

exempting the idea of God from causality does not solve the problem but rather postpones it, again as i have noticed in many theistic arguments God always seize to a person at some point and just becomes "The thing that created the universe"

which always leads me to ask

what makes a God?

Is a thing God because it created the universe or is God still God whether or not it created the universe?

God is source energy.

1. Because He is the creator of a finite physical and material world .

2. If God were to be material it would preclude Its omnipresence .

3. There is no such thing as an immutable material object . Anything material is subject to change as we clearly observe .

4 To preclude infinite regress which is illogical .

There are so many other reasons too

How does the universe rely on God's existence for its own existence. How can we know this for sure?

1. God is the best explanation why anything at all exists.

2. God is the best explanation of the applicability of mathematics to the physical world.

3. God is the best explanation of the fine-tuning of the universe for intelligent life.

4 God is the best explanation for the origin of the universe

And these are on the basis that God is an eternal conscious unembodied mind

Atheists vs Theists debates.

They don't end, they just keep going back and forth like ping pong.

I have come to discover that most atheists and theists on this section are not being honest.
You guys don't argue with open minds, you just do it for "who the hell knows why"

You will have to point out any intellectual dishonesty, from the atheists' posts, for your assertion to be taken serious.

We go on lengthy arguments with theists, because of the audience (who may be seeking clarification on issues being discussed).

We have this audience mind, to help them see how incoherent, illogical, nonsensical, and useless, the religious beliefs are.

I may have misconstrued his arguments . AgentofAllah , if you were not arguing for a universe that came from nothing , what were you arguing for ?And where do you stand ? Please be clear not like Kay17 who is always evasive.

I was arguing for a universe whose origin is so nebulous that it is practically impossible to know whence it originates using present models. The universe, for all we know, may need not have "originated" in the first place, instead transmuting from one state to another.

Presently, I don't find any theory compelling enough, so I stand nowhere on the subject.

He doesn't even realize it.
Does he even know that there are 5 proven mass extinction events on Earth?
Or they're are 190 impact craters of asteroids on earth?
If God kept us on Earth, why is he repeatedly trying to kill us?

I just gave reasons to why God is the best explanation for the universes and yet you called it 'God of the gaps' ? Argument based on ignorance is a typical fallacy committed by the atheist . They conclude there is no God based on their belief that there is no evidence for God .

I've used an analogy about aliens and complex system discovered on a planet X to explain why it is rational to acknowledge the existence of God.

Now answer :

Is there evidence that science would answer all questions ?
Is your atheism based on a supposed absence of evidence for the existence of God
All are truths that exist supported by science ?
How would science prove the existence of God ?
What is the most compelling evidence of God that would make you recant your atheistic views and opinions ?
Define evidence .

Please let your response be perspicuous . Thanks
