superhumanist: You keep mentioning origin yet you don't see that when something begins to exist, then we can talk of how long (time) it has existed or has been existing . |

KingEbukasBlog: God is outside the universe? What does that mean? How is God outside the universe yet interact with people inside the universe? Which medium does he use? So God is immaterial but created a material universe? |

dalaman: God is everywhere . There are so many perspectives of this which I don't want to go into. Eg From an idealist perspective, there is no such thing as matter(matter does not exist ) just minds(mental/non-physical ) and their ideas . So all that exists are just ideas in the mind of God . And for interaction, there are so many perspectives. Eg A pandeist believes that communication among conscious beings is a form of interaction with the divine . Another one is that God interacts through theophanies (divine manifestation of Itself in material form eg burning bush in the bible, a bright light during Paul's conversion on his journey to Damascus. ) . God can also interact through our sub conscious which is seen as intermediary between our finite minds and the universal mind/infinite intelligence /God . And we can draw knowledge from it through practices like meditation etc The immaterial God can also communicate to us though our spirit (our true self ) which is immaterial as It is . There are so many ways to look at it . |

Seun: The fact that Someone created something doesn't imply He Himself was created. If it did, then why would you still doubt that man who creates several things from phones to airplanes to robots and super computer has a Creator. God is the creator of mankind. it's His creative nature that men manifest when they build and develop stuffs. However, He Himself has no creator. If you could imagine someone who would be His creator, that person will yet be Him-God. He and He alone is the very very very very beginning of all things and he himself has no beginning. It may be difficult for you to fathom how Someone could possibly exist without a beginning, but when you leave this earthly realm, you will understand better. You know, there are things in the civilized world for instance, that would be difficult for a human who lives in one of the most primitive african villages to imagine, because the realm he lives in does largely limit his imaginations. |

Seun: God being uncreated means his existence is by accident? The fact that God is UNCAUSED proves his existence isn't by accident . Accidents are EVENTS CAUSED but not deliberately. There was no EVENT prior to the existence of God so God's existence cannot be an accident . The beginning of the universe was the First (temporal) event ever to occur . Events occur or lead to existence and relate with time. God's existence isn't associated with any EVENT. 3 Likes |

dalaman: I showed you ways from the bible and outside the bible. It's not confusion , it's open-mindedness . And idealism whoops materialism's ass big time. And I'm looking at it with one eye o . I haven't gotten deep knowledge to declare myself as an idealist. Maybe ... who knows 1 Like |

felixomor: So you read the title and just concluded nonsense? The article gave three reasons why time doesnt exist 1. Time has no materiality or physical manifestation. We cant see, touch, smell or feel time 2. Time is just a mental thing- an intuition 3. Time is just a concept of measurement. The clock exists but the time itself does not. cc kingebukasblog and butterflyl1on, come and carry this your mumu friend. |

KingEbukasBlog: Ogbeni, the universe is not like other things. This is why deists call it "God". The universe has no true beginning. |

superhumanist: To tell u how foolish you are Here are the first three lines from your own article; Quoted verbatim and with attention on the bolded; We've been taught that time and space exist. They're real. And that reality has been reinforced everyday of our life—every time we go from here to there, every time we reach for something, every month we pay the bills. CANT YOU SEE THAT YOU ARE FOOOLISH? Even your article says you are fooolish. They are real. RECEIVE SENSE 2 Likes 1 Share |

superhumanist: Words of an ignorant person . Shut up and educate yourself . Deists don't call the universe God . Some of the pantheists who believe the universe is everything call it God . Even the pandeist believes that God transformed into the universe . The panendeist believes the universe is part of the Divine but the divine does not intervene in it . The universe has no true beginning. Please stop embarrassing yourself with this stupid talk . Mention me when you have something reasonable to share 1 Like |

felixomor: You only read the first two paragraphs and concluded without reading the whole article? Mumu is not good oo Even what you quoted shows that you can't reason. The first part of what you quoted from the article (the sentence before the bold) saying that the existence of time is what we are taught. But is everything thing we are taught true? The article later goes out to point 3 different arguments against the existence of time. You just want to play silly. There are millions of reputable articles pointing out how time does not exist. Please continue in ignorance. |

KingEbukasBlog: Pandeism is a form of deism that encompasses pantheism. Deism is more of an umbrella term. But let's not derail the original point with your ignorance. The universe has no beginning. The big bang cannot be the beginning because it can be argued that the big bang is still the universe (in its raw form). Also remember that time doesn't exist. The future of our universe is infinite- something CV will always exist. Same with the past- something always existed......this is to say that time still gives a paradox that leads us to no beginning of the universe. |

superhumanist: Oh so u came to argue what we are taught? I thought u were going to quote what we were taught when u started? Idiort Besides, read again. The third line says "The reality has been reinforced" What a pity! Even your own article is flushing out your foolishness in public. Face the reality. Next time, research before typing rubbish. And when u are exposed. Take correction. Dont hang on to proud ignorance. 1 Like 1 Share |

felixomor:Felixomor, I note with respect and admiration that you have revealed the true weakness of Atheism. Why is Superhumanist doing this to you? The Reality is now reinforced. Atheism is dying. The Atheists cruel mission to destroy the Holy Scriptures was dwelt a serious blow after God launched Emmanuel TV for the whole world to witness scientifically verifiable evidence of the truth about all the mind-blowing promises that Jesus Christ made more than two thousand years ago. Thank God there are many other ways to get proof of this across the globle. Jesus instantly gives new hearts, instantly cures terminal stage 4 cancer, instantly heals broken bones and other problems for FREE. Doctors are flocking for their own instantaneous healing. They bring their patients for instant healing. Despite the threats to their medical careers, these honest Doctors testify live to the world about the most effective solutions only Jesus offer humanity. IN STARK CONTRAST TO ALL THIS, ATHEISM OFFERS TO INCREASE HUMANITIES SUFFERING AND CONFUSION. 1 Like 1 Share |
