Arguments For God by Nobody: 8:55pm On Nov 25, 2019
In all my time looking over theological arguments for god, I am yet to see one that proves His existence at all. Philosophy don't even come close to proving the existence of one or more creators in general, much less a muslim or christian god. It's also really tedious seeing the same arguments recycled by the religious and it just starts to get tiring. I want to see if there are actually any good arguments for god that already haven't been debunked, so at least I can have something to think about for awhile. I'll try my best to keep up with thread amidst my mostly busy schedule. Its just that I haven't had a good debate in a while smiley

Lol.... The Other possible possibilities crew are looking for a fight.

Atheist: Nothing created something that created everything.
Theist: Seriously?! Do you believe in magic and the supernatural?
Atheist: hahaha, they don't exist.
Theist: How can something miraculously come from nothing?
Atheist: I don't know.
Theist: Then, It was magic!!!!

If you must disbelief in God , then you must provide explaination for everything in Creation

In as much you cant provide explaination for everything

That means there is a mystery somewhere

Check your dictionary for the word Mystery

God is a Mystery unto Man.

What you people don't get is , that. The word Mystery exist in dictionary because there are some things which science will never get till the o world end



Let me Explain Who Is GOD

Life doesn't start from physical reality,

The spirtitual reality control the physical reality

GOD is three in one. ,. The Holy Trinity.

Check your candle light,. With camera

You will see the 3 color

Where do you think these colors come from and why are they not other color

Why do you think the primary colour is. RBG ,.

RED

BLUE

GREEN


Add the 3 Colors together, you will get White

Which is the Kingdom of Gods color


Where do you think gravational force comes from

Its the mother Nature energy,. A downward spiral Energy,

And that why scientist can't really understand it

The Universe balancing Force which hold Earth and other planet in place is the force of our Master Jesus

Check the Jesus image you will see a sun behind him

He own the Sun, and that why he is the Morning Star

The Upward force , in space belong to God the Father

Asscoiated with color Red

These aren't coincidence, wake up

Spirituality is everywhere, ony if you are attune and question reality

LOL. OK junior. Keep it moving grin. Don't let sense and reason molest you on your way out


I've got plenty of time on my hand now so let's deal with the "atheists believe something out of nothing" canard once and for all, shall we?

Item one. Atheists dispense with belief altogether. Instead, if they're contemplating a postulate properly, they ask "what evidence exists in support of this postulate?", and look to whichever discipline is supplying the evidence.

Item two. The people who REALLY think the universe came from "nothing", are those supernaturalists who think their imaginary magic man from their favourite mythology, waved his magic todger and poofed the universe into existence from nothing. So even before I move on to the next items, this alone stuffs the "atheists think the universe came from nothing" excrement down the toilet and pulls the flush hard.

Item three. The question of the origin of the universe has nothing to do with atheism. This question is the remit of cosmological physics. And, once again, those of us who paid attention in class, turn to that discipline, and ask what postulates arise therefrom, and what evidence is supplied in support thereof.

Item four. No cosmological physicist presents the fatuous notion that the universe "came from nothing". Instead, cosmological physicists postulate that testable natural processes, involving well-defined interactions acting upon well-defined entities, were responsible for the origin of the observable universe in its current form.

Item five. The question of the origin of the universe is an active research topic, and as a corollary, a number of hypotheses are extant in the field, with respect to the origin of the observable universe. Indeed, it's a measure of how far cosmological physics has progressed, that researchers in the field are able to postulate a number of pre-Big-Bang cosmologies, and then work out how to test those cosmologies and the hypotheses underpinning them.

Item six. As an example of the ideas extant in the literature, I'm aware of two papers by Steinhardt & Turok, in which they propose a pre-Big-Bang cosmology centred upon braneworld collisions, and which possesses three elegant features. Namely:

1> It provides a mechanism for the donation of energy to the newly instantiated universe, facilitating subsequent matter synthesis;

2> It eliminates the singularity problem from standard Big Bang cosmology;

3> It provides a testable prediction, namely that the power spectrum of primordial gravitational waves will take a specific form, with the graph skewed towards short wavelengths.

Indeed, <3> above is one of the reasons scientists have been labouring diligently, to produce operational gravitational wave detectors, precisely so that they can test this prediction, once they've learned how to distinguish between primordial gravitational waves and gravitational waves of more recent origin. The moment they learn to do this, the requisite tests will be conducted. Furthermore, if those tests reveal a power spectrum that matches the Steinhardt-Turok prediction, then Steinhardt & Turok walk away with the Nobel Prize for Physics.

Message to all you supernaturalists out who may be viewing this thread: read the above, and learn from it. The next time you peddle the "atheists think the universe came from nothing" bullshit, you'll know from the above why we regard you with scorn and derision for posting this bullshit.

Seriously. I come back after roughly two days and you Christian clowns are still peddling the same argumentum ad ignorantiam or "god of the gaps" fallacy I see. Known common logical fallacies don't become less irrational through bloody minded repetition. I wonder what you and your superstitious ilk will move your imaginary deity into if this gap is closed, as all the others you had previously inserted it into were.

I like to remember when confronted by stubborn wilful stupidity of the sort you and Blabbermouth espouse, that in fact you disbelieve in almost as many deities as I do, so you're only one deity away from reality after all. Again this is progress of a sort I suppose.

Let me put forth a simple argument by deduction. Within the universe exists a law of conservation of energy as energy is neither created nor destroyed.

It is obvious that also the universe is not eternal and had a beginning . Therefore there must a source that existed before the start of time and the universe that in itself is eternal.

Physicists call it energy, I call him God. You can also call it the God of the gaps but that answer is fine by me

Jozzy4:


I directed it to you.

How, Jozzy4, do you recognize design?

Methinks you need to demonstrate some objective evidence for your claim, and since all the objective evidence shows that species evolution through natural selection is a scientific fact you'll need to undo 160 years of global scientific research from multiple scientific disciplines. I think it's as likely we'll discover the world is flat and at the centre of the universe after all.

Also, if we originate from one source, Why then do we speak different languages ?
Languages evolve, just like species. Speakers get isolated from each other and their languages evolve in different directions. Sometimes invasion and migration bring them back to together, which is why we have so many Latin, Norse, and French words in English. Beowulf and the Canterbury Tales were both written in English in England. Yet most English-speaking people wouldn't even recognize them as English, because our language has changed radically in the past millennium. Imagine how much change could happen over tens of 1,000s of years as humanity migrated globally. By the time the Tower of Babel fantasy is supposed to have happened, there had been countless languages for millennia.

GeneralShepherd:
Let me put forth a simple argument by deduction.
Let's see...
"A deductive argument is the presentation of statements that are assumed or known to be true as premises for a conclusion that necessarily follows from those statements."

Right. Moving on...

Within the universe exists a law of conservation of energy as energy is neither created nor destroyed.
Wow are you behind the times cheesy grin.....
"To most people, the idea that conservation of energy is violated goes against everything they learned about the most fundamental laws of physics. But on the cosmological scale, conservation of energy is not as steadfast a law as it is on smaller scales. In this study, the physicists specifically investigated two theories in which violations of energy conservation naturally arise.

The first scenario of violations involves modifications to quantum theory that have previously been proposed to investigate phenomena such as the creation and evaporation of black holes, and which also appear in interpretations of quantum mechanics in which the wavefunction undergoes spontaneous collapse. In these cases, energy is created in an amount that is proportional to the mass of the collapsing object.

Violations of energy conservation also arise in some approaches to quantum gravity in which spacetime is considered to be granular due to the fundamental limit of length (the Planck length, which is on the order of 10-35 m). This spacetime discreteness could have led to either an increase or decrease in energy that may have begun contributing to the cosmological constant starting when photons decoupled from electrons in the early universe, during the period known as recombination."
(First premise is rejected.)

https://phys.org/news/2017-01-violations-energy-early-universe-dark.html

Dark energy emerges when energy conservation is violated

The conservation of energy is one of physicists’ most cherished principles, but its violation could resolve a major scientific mystery: why is the expansion of the universe accelerating? That is the eye-catching claim of a group of theorists in France and Mexico, who have worked out that dark energy can take the form of Albert Einstein’s cosmological constant by effectively sucking energy out of the cosmos as it expands.


https://physicsworld.com/a/dark-energy-emerges-when-energy-conservation-...

It is obvious that also the universe is not eternal and had a beginning
No, it's not, Mr. Obvious grin
The Big Bounce: Why our universe might be eternal."
https://bigthink.com/surprising-science/big-bounce-theory

Therefore there must a source that existed before the start of time and the universe that in itself is eternal.
First, GeneralShepherd, you must prove a beginning. Next, you have to actually demonstrate a source. You do not get to magically assert a universe into existence.

Physicists call it energy, I call him God. You can also call it the God of the gaps but that answer is fine by me
GeneralShepherd wouldja try and keep the energy (pun, hundred percent intended) please? undecided You just asserted "conservation of energy" and here you are citing energy outside the universe.

Are you sure you know what you're talking about?
