where did "god" come from?
And what spark made "god" metaphysical?
god came from the objects of men's creation. man was created by God,

if you want to know who created God and not god, wait till we arrive Heaven. that's one secret nobody knows, He is God because He owns every creation.

every physical property has a starting point. right?what created that starting point/state?

excluding that please.

That can't be excluded. Living things are the only examples of guided natural processes and I've already explained why in my previous posts.

He is correct though(in the sense that practical vacuums are causal)...
The vacuum of space however is something that is an inherent property of it....and its energy is eternal(as with all energy cannot be created nor destroyed)....the very expansion of this vacuum and everything in it is still a by-product of the inflation of the universe from its initial stages..

Shadowgwalker lets say for the sake of argument that indeed somehow an unproven intelligent agent had a hand(or tentacle) in the creation of the universe....can you now link it with the "god" of the bible? or that link requires faith?

I find the water cycle to be a very interesting 'unguided' natural process. Apparently in your view, the elaborate water cycle is not based on abstract design principles, is it? Don't you think systems in general all enjoy internal coherency?

Stop obfuscating things. This is what you do when you have no point to make. This talk started when I pointed out that natural processes didn't make codes and you tried to hijack the work of living systems as an example. A wrong move since living systems weren't the natural processes I had in mind AND it was unguided natural processes eg windflow, sunlight etc I was referring to.

I specifically distinguished guided from unguided natural processes by noting that the latter simply occurs in given conditions eg streams occur more frequently in rainy season in the tropics while the former (is guided natural processes) depends on systems that control its behaviours and its very existence.

"god" is a purported unknown religious people define according to their respective faiths..

I know you did. However, rather than try to force my views down your throat, I'm willing to find the true conflict points.

Back to our discussion. You said there were unguided and guided natural processes. The underlying idea behind 'guided' natural processes is the abstract principles which they based. Similarly the water cycle as a whole appears to be 'guided' by abstract principles otherwise it wouldn't exist. The water cycle not fairly 'random'. I intend to use the systemic consistency similar to both living systems and the water cycle as a basis that natural processes are valid immediate causes.

Instead of going down that winded path simply give an example of natural processes (outside of living things) making a code.

bloody illiterate, you are a complete definition of mumu. see your own fake profile, I can imagine how many people you've duped life out of . I'm sure you've contemplated killing yourself someday but don't worry you have your own classification, it's called 'a failed destiny '.

am curious how did u decided that my profile is fake? cheesy

We placed codes aside, since we are disagreeing about the definition.

We are now talking about guided natural processes and I have raised the systemic consistency in both living systems and water cycle. That is where we are right now.

We never did. It has been central to this discussion from the get go. If you are shifting that aside then forget about this. In the meantime you are ignoring the fact that water cycles lack subsystems which clearly regulate their behaviour in response to .varying environmental indices like temperature. Subsystems which regulate behaviour is what I have very REPEATEDLY emphasized constitutes a guided natural process to your continued ignorance

There is no god! PERIOD! It never existed and it is clear in the religious books that no man has seen god- that's because it is made up. Wow! What an elusive lie!

So to stop "god" from being illogical due to infinite regression..its an "uncaused cause"?
no to stop whatever you think is the cause of all these, there must be an "uncaused cause" for the Universe to have started to exist then the "First caused uncaused" is personal.

And how did you deduce the universe to not be an uncaused cause?
