@awesomesauceiness Creationism is a lot like the flat earth hypothesis. Its a simple concept, but when you try to rationalize it given the evidence we have today, the arguments become incredibly complex and unjustifiable.
The meaningful realities of life (the world, abstract entities, consciousness, morality, logic, etc.) need an adequate metaphysical ground. The God of the Bible stands not as a “god of the gaps” superstitious substitute for ignorance, but rather as a simple, economical, and yet fully orbed explanatory hypothesis for the various meaningful realities discovered in the world and in human life
@LaughingHobo Most of those "meaningful realities" do not need adequate metaphysical grounds,especially morality,because...well of accam's razor:the metaphysical is just an unnecessary assumption and it can be cut off.Also if there is a metaphysical realm than the God of the Bible has no place in it,the God of the Bible is a product of human mind(there are plenty of evidence for this) in fact it will not be any of the many god's of the many religions of Earth.
@LaughingHobo Also in your last post you enumerate some of those "meaningful realities" and assume that have no explanation or that are impossible without an creator, well those are your points of view ,what you find impossible isn't necessary the truth.The truth doesn't have to conform to everyone's point of view.Also those "meaningful realities" are just a product of our mind,those realities have no universal meaning.
Second, naturalism holds that such meaningful realities as life, the mind, personhood, and reason came from an accidental natural mechanism. But any such mechanism would lack these realities. The effect appears to be profoundly greater than the cause. How does this improbable cause-effect anomaly square with the foundational scientific principle of causality? How can such rational enterprises as logic, mathematics, and science be the result of an unguided, accidental, mindless natural process?
First, while naturalism may be in one sense simpler than its rival theism (by denying the existence of the transcendent world), naturalism is itself a metaphysical system, and not merely reducible to the scientific enterprise. In the end it doesn’t appear to be all that simple. The idea that complex reality (the world, life, consciousness, etc.) can be reduced to or explained solely by the natural world seems a difficult and presumptuous claim.
That is not how that theory arouse (because buildings also fall during controlled demolitions). The theory arouse because of the explosions, the beams being perfectly cut in a slanted way, and the presence of a certain chemical.
so god is making the information infinitely difficult to find? so he is playing mind games with us? so your god is a jokster or something? what kind of logic is this and you dont even back up your points out your evidence with anything but this is the bible, what the one written by superstitious people? And the reason your religion is the correct "one" is because europeans enforce all over the world I hope this is a satire on human stupidity.
Are you retarded? Atheists think the world started simply and Christians think its complex? That's so not correct. Christians think the world started simply from God, that he just created it himself. Atheists think that the world progressed over millions of years, starting with the big bang. Get your shit straight, man
His point about 911 is valid. But there was "maintenance" done to it two weeks prior. And both collapsed directly downward. And a third building which wasn't hit by a plane also collapsed. Just saying.
@Lathox well it's an entirely different thing from he subject matter of the video. That I'm is better off on another channel. Now I await EdwardCurrent's latest educational video about why Christianity is awesome and not those silly Atheists. I'm sure there is a perfectly logical reason as to why god loves me so much that I fell down the stairs today and nearly broke a leg.
Or maybe Eddie, the universe, like god has always existed, in one of four states and if you can believe in a god being who, is, was and always will, maybe you can believe the same about the universe. After all it's just as valid or nutty as the other belief.
@TheDano1947 Actually, he is a caricature of dogmatic, evangelical, extremist, fundamentalist creationist, Christians who cannot accept the validity of science. He conducts these videos as a practice in satire... He portrays Christian arguments as they are, in the hopes than as the Christians who use them will hear them, and realize how stupid these arguments really are. Unfortunately, it has had a nil effect. Most creationists, and many atheists think he is being for really real.
I was expecting him to try to disprove Occam's Razor. All he did was say it's wrong. As for the "extraordinary evidence" part, he really missed the point. We're saying that if you claim that something extraordinary and complex exists, you need extraordinary evidence to demonstrate it. YOU, Edward, are the one violating Occam's Razor. Not Carl Sagan.
damn, whoops, i mean garsh. you just blew my mind, err, i keep sinning, i mean you just gave my love for the lord a trouser friendly kiss. amen edward current. A-FUCKING-MEN, god damnit, i did it again, this born again stuff is tough on the old noggin, but oh so satisfying for my soul...
OMg. This video provides no value... much like this comment... Go ahead, continue making claims without evidence to gain support from people that already believe as you do. You are sad. I just hope you are attempting to be ironic. :)
@G1ennbeckismyher0 I can't tell if you're kidding, but just in case you aren't, EdwardCurrent is a comedian, and this video is a joke. Just go to his page and look at the background, it says "It's a joke"
I have always thought that it takes less faith to be a Christian than an Atheist. Christians can explian away everything by saying "god is influencing the subject matter". Atheist However, have to accept some ideas as "not yet explainable".
@bexksamuel20 Faith - belief without evidence. Believing that god influenced the subject matter, takes faith. Saying that we don't know how something works, is perfectly reasonable. Makes sense?
@liverbitz91 Well... I live in Australia, and I'm really quite friendly, I'm a male looking for a female, I don't know how tall I am but I have medium length brown hair, brown eyes and a winning personality. Am I right for you?
Your comedy is great, but I do suggest, for newcomers, immediately make it somewhat realisable that you are pretending to be one of them, because it is fucking hard to tell these days,
Hating on ron paul is kinda weak mate. He is literally the one and only member of congress who has never promised his constituancy to vote a certain way and then did the opposite.
Not cool. He is far from someone who makes assumptions about "the twin towers" that he cannot ack up with hard evidence. The average ron pauls supporter is just pissed off with the government. I should know. I am a ron paul supporter, an athiest, and someone who wishes statism to end forever,
I'm kind of surprised Current brought up Occam's Razor, because Creationism has the simplist answer in the books, however stupid you might think it to be. You say random uncoformities and mutations in genes of organisms led to the eventual genetic diversity and variety of organisms we see today, and they say G-d created those organisms. So, by Occam's Razor, wouldn't Creationism be the more viable answer, truly disregarding any other "evidence" you may think you have on either side?
but mighty pastor,if what you say is true and god does exist,why did he make me so dimwitted? i'm confused by so many things in the world...logic,sarcasm,why do my catfish not like milk? satire,numbers not written in words,those things that taste like fire from hell and hurt me so bad but i still eat when i'm drunk,ducks,ring pulls and bananas...
What a looser ! Can something wich is tested or measured be God , are you that dumb ? How do you know that he exists ? that question is absurd just to think let alone ask , if you exist and universe exist , that is clear proof for a logical human to accept that he exists ! The question shouldn't be does God exist but which one is the true God !
Crazy people , They don't believe in god because of their desires and not because he doesn't exists , that is just an exuse to continue to sin !
@MrCobra811 I feel like I'm feeding the troll. Oh well. Why is an intelligent creator god the only explanation for the creation of a universe? What could possibly lead you to believe there is no other conceivable answer? How about an eternal universe, that makes just as much sense as an eternal creator. You need evidence that in fact a god exists in order to be taken serious when you say there is one, and there is not a single scrap of evidence that god exists so far.
@boochainletters12 Why is an inteligent creator the only explanation ? Cos its pure logical ! why is there a mechanic the only creator of the car , there might be some other possible way for a car to be there? You don't ask absurd questions, you believe you had a grand grand grand gran .....grand mother based on necessity and not on evidence! What evidence you have that your grand.........grand mother existed ? Until you produce some evidence I am not gonna believe you had one
@MrCobra811 I'm not about to give my family tree out to randoms online, but it's not exactly difficult to find a single one of my many grand * 8 mothers anyway. Besides, the car analogy doesn't work in any way. Cars don't self replicate and don't produce variation as a result. Cars aren't the result of a collection of natural forces, nor do leather seatings and metal alloy occur together in nature. As long as other possibilities for existence exist (Magic spark), god is not the only logical one.
@boochainletters12 You have no evidence of your family tree exept some papers if you are lucky to have them ! So its papers who make you believe that you had ancestors and not evidence , you have faith that your ancestors existed same as a believer in God ! It all comes down to papers , and papers are writen by man so why do you accuse believers for beliving in God based on books and faith ? Have you seen the maker of Pyramids of Egypt, do you have any evidence exept papers?
@MrCobra811 My belief that I have ancestors is based on reasonable observation. I have seen and know how reproduction works, and I know it's the most reasonable explanation as to how I got here. If I wanted, I could find my ancestors graves, given they're documented. What supernatural claim of any holy text can you say the same for?
@boochainletters12 Ou you belief in something , I thought that everything to you atheists is based on see, feel, touch ! I have used the same observation in knowing that there is a God , Without a granny you wouldn't have been here is logical , same way without a creator we wouldn't be here !
If you couldn't find your ancestors grave you would doubt that you had ancestors is it ?
So only by knowing how something works you are gonna accept that it was created by someone !
@MrCobra811 If you know something is created, it's reasonable to assume it has a creator. There is a natural explanation to the origins of stone, without a creator. So it's unreasonable to assume they were created. Derp.
@boochainletters12 Belief and evidence are part of each other in our world , but what makes me mad is when Atheists say : If something I cannot see , touch , feel use my senses I don't believe it ! If you see touch feel,etc than that is not a belief but a fact ! We don't just use only those senses in our world , we believe in something without those senses , cos thats what belief is ! But the more evidence you collect the more you believe something
@boochainletters12 Great, if you know something is created , its reasonable to assume it has a creator , I love this ! In order for you to say that the stone is not created you have to know everything which exists , do people know everything today that they have come to conclusion that the stone is not created ? We believe everything has a creator based on our world we see, until you know everything about the universe you cannot say that this stone or universe is not created
@MrCobra811 Dude, no. You're trying to twist what I said right around. Until you know the thing is created you don't assume that it is. You don't scour the universe to find every possible explanation and every possible process and all the possible scenarios until you have a complete understanding that in fact, this object was not designed. That's supremely inefficient.
@boochainletters12 I am not twisting anything , we develop reason and logic based on what we have around and we implement this reason and logic on universe ! If something in our world is reasonable to have a creator then we use the same reason for the universe to have a creator , We keep thinking like that until is proven that the universe doesn't have a creator . You can't jump from reason to unreason without a proof !
@boochainletters12 If Based on our logic and on what we see in this world around, we see that a car has a maker, a building has a builder etc Now based on those things we have reason to believe that universe is created until we find is not, rather than going into absurd like universe is not created knowing very little about it! My aproach is logical and reasonable aproach until is proven wrong, untill then we are gonna believe its created same as we believe for everything else
@MrCobra811 "My aproach is logical and reasonable aproach until is proven wrong, untill then we are gonna believe its created same as we believe for everything else"
What you observe and call "creation" is a process of rearranging already existing matter into something else. When you say the universe had a creator, you are talking about something else entirely. Something that has never been observed, and may well be an incoherent and impossible idea.
@MrCobra811 Basically you're claiming that some unobserved being, the creator, either "created the universe from nothing"(A statement that is meaningless, because the word create refers to a situation where an agent acts on something(not nothing) to produce another thing) or the creator created the universe by manipulating its own essence.(That is, we're all made of "God stuff")
@MrCobra811 You'll note that the latter of those options, while not meaningless like the first one, seems to not have any explanatory power. You're just asserting that amazingly complex gods with superpowers can exist for no reason what so ever, and your reason for introducing them in the first place was that you were not happy with the idea that things did not have creators - yet here you are insisting that god does not have a creator.
@Gnomefro Amazing complex Gods , God is not a creation cos if he was he wouldn't be called God , Know the deffinition of the word God then make questions !
"I was not happy with the idea that something can exist without creator" pffhahah Only in your absurd brain that can happen !
There is a posiibility that something can fashion itself , only crazy people believe that nonsense !
@MrCobra811 It's rather clear that the act of introducing that god is an instance of mental masturbation gone bad. When you agree that it is possible for gods to exist without "creators", then you should consider that option more seriously for nature itself. You may want to throw out the concept of "creator" as well, and replace it with "cause", because you will invariably start sprouting meaningless nonsense and faulty analogies using the word creator.
@Gnomefro What are you talking about ? If it is possible for Gods to exist ITS ONE GOD ALLAH dont use Gods here ! He is eternal unique , not born or die , lord of the worlds , thats how he describes himself in the Quran which makes perfect sence when you think of universe ! If his definition is eternal ,than you make an absurd question to ask who created him !
How many wifes a bachelor has , do you know ?
If you don't know the meaning of the word than you can ask absurd question !
@boochainletters12 You are going to say that Universe is eternal and you would be called stupid if you say that cos its proven its not eternal , If universe is eternal we wouldn't be here also, If universe is eternal it doesn't have a begining , yet universe had a begining ! There is no logical way other than to accept that something else which is eternal created the universe , its pure logic and thats exactly what Quran said 1400 years ago about Allah(god)
@MrCobra811 Actually everything that it takes to make him, or me, or even you, for that matter, most likely always existed, in one form or another. Therefore, we can safely assume we all, always existed, in one form or another. The question then becomes, "Did any of those other forms contain our consciousness, or a soul?"
@MrCobra811 No actually we don't know that there was a beginning and since energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it is possible that the BIG BANG could be the beginning of a cycle which will end when all the stars run out of fuel and are drawn toward the constant force of gravity produce by black holes which seems to be made of Dark Matter/Energy and you can call that the Restaurant At The End Of The Universe.
@MrCobra811 OK watched it, so what's your point that the koran is right and Islam is the one true faith and we should all become mindless Muslim killing machines?
@MrCobra811 The Big Bang Theory traces the universe, and the path of stellar matter back to a point, called a singularity. However, that does not necessarily mark a, or even, the beginning. It could simply be a state of an eternal universe at a given point in time. There are many valid theories of an ever expanding and contracting universe.
@MrCobra811 It's easy to screw up with first causes as well, as you have to make sure that the way you are using the word is in harmony with some plausible theory of causation, which introduces some of the problems with "creators", but at least then you'll have less room to confuse yourself with analogy to believe that complex agents like gods can be a rational default.
@boochainletters12 So you are using reason observation, great ! Even if you wanted you probably wouldn't find your ancestor's grave , and if they are documented , aren't those documments a piece of paper writen by man ! So you are gonna trust a piece of paper writen by man , same as a religious person ! So It all comes down to papers when it comes to believeing something ! Can you smell the cheese and your double standart ? Belief is not a fact and fact is not a belief
@MrCobra811 A piece of paper written by man, sure. But one that follows my original and reasonable deduction ad doesn't make claims of flying horses. I don't believe Dr. Suess books either, are you making a double standard for not believing that?
@boochainletters12 You are right , belief is backed up with some evidence to make it believeble , You cannot just believe anything , but you cannot prove anything either based on just evidence ! Belief and evidence work hand and hand , belief without some evidence is blind , But the more evidence you have the more believable you become , isn't it ? Belief is something which we don't witness on first hand but based on collection of some evidences we say we believe somethong!
@MrCobra811 Also - Don't insult me. My non belief in god is not out of rebellion or a want to sin. If I wanted to sin, I wouldn't have chosen a Christian girlfriend who would logically stop me from sinning since she believes it's the wrong thing to do. I would merely be substituting god for a person.
@boochainletters12 Your nonbelief in God is out of rebelion or from lazyness to study and think ! LMAO a christian GIRLFRIEND , By being christian does that make her automatically not sinner ? By the fact that she has a boyfriend outside marriage she is a bigger sinner than you are ! Christians are not true believers , they only pay lip service they don't act what the Bible says ! I am muslim by the way and Islam has the true law of God , and muslims follow it to the root
@MrCobra811 By being Christian it means she at least tries to abstain from 'sin', and do you have an arranged marriage? In this culture arranged marriages are pretty stupid, if you ask me, and you're not going to get your first girlfriend to be your first wife. You know, the funny thing is that everyone in every religion says the same thing about your religion. What makes you think you're right over the others?
@boochainletters12 The funny thing is that every religion is a deviation from the true religion Islam ! Islam was the religion of Adam the first man on earth and God sent prophets to every nation throughout the history with the same message Islam , to worship God alone and he is one eternal ,unique , lord of the worlds ! People in the mean time made false religions to suit their desires cos it was tough to follow the true religion, they liked to sin and made up religions
@MrCobra811 If you follow your religion to the root, I can't say there's anything to do for you. You should be in jail, really. Any modern civilisation that allows people to be killed for the reasons listed in holy texts needs to move past the bronze age.
@boochainletters12 This so called modern cvilization is modern ignorance but people are like sheep today and don't know it! Modern civilization is a destruction of human beings and societies,You call modern something which is based on money and tech, That is a disaster to civilization cos it is turning people into lazy ignorants who are unable to think for themselfs, give them a play station and and keep them busy in order for them to forget their purpose in life !
there is scientific evidence for god. Like the structure of holy water. Also the law of attraction could be seen as proof that god awnsers our preyers.
@supergogoanimations Has the "holy water phenomenon" been tested and verified independently by qualified persons and peer reviewed by multiple others? As far as I can see, only religious websites talk about the holy water structure and none have listed external confirmation. Also, the law of attraction could also be seen as one striving to have a positive influence on their own life and acting on it, even if it's subconsciously. I think my explanation fits better.
Yeah, EdwardCurrent satire or PatCondell comedy... atheists have a penchant these days for wrapping up their simplistic views on religions as 'religious views'. In fact it's the same thing as always talking abouut celestial teapots, fairies, unicorns, pink pony's and all the stuff only an atheist ever comes up with in the context of a theist's thinking about origins. Funny? Maybe. But also boring after a while.
@crunkin234 Actually, I think 6604 are Christians who do not understand satire and athiests who do, whereas 1296 are Christians who do understand satire and athiests who don't. Can't you tell that he is not serious? He is just mocking Christian values.
You are so stupid, you are just scared to die, and thus need to make something up. Back in the day, people used to use gods to explain many things, like thunder, but now we know what thunder is. You are just scared of dying and thus still cling to god, while more intelligent people can see you only get one life and it is finite in length.
@IamYoddle I don't either and I'm a supporter too but he does have a point most of the Ron Paul supporter's I know do believe in the conspiracy lol damn you Edward >.<

I have always thought that it takes less faith to be a Christian than an Atheist. Christians can explian away everything by saying "god is influencing the subject matter". Atheist However, have to accept some ideas as "not yet explainable".

Not cool. He is far from someone who makes assumptions about "the twin towers" that he cannot ack up with hard evidence. The average ron pauls supporter is just pissed off with the government. I should know. I am a ron paul supporter, an athiest, and someone who wishes statism to end forever,

I'm kind of surprised Current brought up Occam's Razor, because Creationism has the simplist answer in the books, however stupid you might think it to be. You say random uncoformities and mutations in genes of organisms led to the eventual genetic diversity and variety of organisms we see today, and they say G-d created those organisms. So, by Occam's Razor, wouldn't Creationism be the more viable answer, truly disregarding any other "evidence" you may think you have on either side?

What a looser ! Can something wich is tested or measured be God , are you that dumb ? How do you know that he exists ? that question is absurd just to think let alone ask , if you exist and universe exist , that is clear proof for a logical human to accept that he exists ! The question shouldn't be does God exist but which one is the true God !
Crazy people , They don't believe in god because of their desires and not because he doesn't exists , that is just an exuse to continue to sin !
MrCobra811 2 months ago
@MrCobra811 I feel like I'm feeding the troll. Oh well. Why is an intelligent creator god the only explanation for the creation of a universe? What could possibly lead you to believe there is no other conceivable answer? How about an eternal universe, that makes just as much sense as an eternal creator. You need evidence that in fact a god exists in order to be taken serious when you say there is one, and there is not a single scrap of evidence that god exists so far.
boochainletters12 1 month ago
@boochainletters12 Why is an inteligent creator the only explanation ? Cos its pure logical ! why is there a mechanic the only creator of the car , there might be some other possible way for a car to be there? You don't ask absurd questions, you believe you had a grand grand grand gran .....grand mother based on necessity and not on evidence! What evidence you have that your grand.........grand mother existed ? Until you produce some evidence I am not gonna believe you had one
MrCobra811 1 month ago
@MrCobra811 I'm not about to give my family tree out to randoms online, but it's not exactly difficult to find a single one of my many grand * 8 mothers anyway. Besides, the car analogy doesn't work in any way. Cars don't self replicate and don't produce variation as a result. Cars aren't the result of a collection of natural forces, nor do leather seatings and metal alloy occur together in nature. As long as other possibilities for existence exist (Magic spark), god is not the only logical one.
boochainletters12 1 month ago
@boochainletters12 You have no evidence of your family tree exept some papers if you are lucky to have them ! So its papers who make you believe that you had ancestors and not evidence , you have faith that your ancestors existed same as a believer in God ! It all comes down to papers , and papers are writen by man so why do you accuse believers for beliving in God based on books and faith ? Have you seen the maker of Pyramids of Egypt, do you have any evidence exept papers?
MrCobra811 1 month ago
@MrCobra811 My belief that I have ancestors is based on reasonable observation. I have seen and know how reproduction works, and I know it's the most reasonable explanation as to how I got here. If I wanted, I could find my ancestors graves, given they're documented. What supernatural claim of any holy text can you say the same for?
boochainletters12 1 month ago
@boochainletters12 Ou you belief in something , I thought that everything to you atheists is based on see, feel, touch ! I have used the same observation in knowing that there is a God , Without a granny you wouldn't have been here is logical , same way without a creator we wouldn't be here !
If you couldn't find your ancestors grave you would doubt that you had ancestors is it ?
So only by knowing how something works you are gonna accept that it was created by someone !
MrCobra811 1 month ago
@MrCobra811 If you know something is created, it's reasonable to assume it has a creator. There is a natural explanation to the origins of stone, without a creator. So it's unreasonable to assume they were created. Derp.
boochainletters12 1 month ago
@boochainletters12 Belief and evidence are part of each other in our world , but what makes me mad is when Atheists say : If something I cannot see , touch , feel use my senses I don't believe it ! If you see touch feel,etc than that is not a belief but a fact ! We don't just use only those senses in our world , we believe in something without those senses , cos thats what belief is ! But the more evidence you collect the more you believe something
MrCobra811 1 month ago
@boochainletters12 Great, if you know something is created , its reasonable to assume it has a creator , I love this ! In order for you to say that the stone is not created you have to know everything which exists , do people know everything today that they have come to conclusion that the stone is not created ? We believe everything has a creator based on our world we see, until you know everything about the universe you cannot say that this stone or universe is not created
MrCobra811 1 month ago
@MrCobra811 Dude, no. You're trying to twist what I said right around. Until you know the thing is created you don't assume that it is. You don't scour the universe to find every possible explanation and every possible process and all the possible scenarios until you have a complete understanding that in fact, this object was not designed. That's supremely inefficient.
boochainletters12 1 month ago
@boochainletters12 I am not twisting anything , we develop reason and logic based on what we have around and we implement this reason and logic on universe ! If something in our world is reasonable to have a creator then we use the same reason for the universe to have a creator , We keep thinking like that until is proven that the universe doesn't have a creator . You can't jump from reason to unreason without a proof !
MrCobra811 1 month ago
@boochainletters12 If Based on our logic and on what we see in this world around, we see that a car has a maker, a building has a builder etc Now based on those things we have reason to believe that universe is created until we find is not, rather than going into absurd like universe is not created knowing very little about it! My aproach is logical and reasonable aproach until is proven wrong, untill then we are gonna believe its created same as we believe for everything else
MrCobra811 1 month ago
@MrCobra811 "My aproach is logical and reasonable aproach until is proven wrong, untill then we are gonna believe its created same as we believe for everything else"
What you observe and call "creation" is a process of rearranging already existing matter into something else. When you say the universe had a creator, you are talking about something else entirely. Something that has never been observed, and may well be an incoherent and impossible idea.
Gnomefro 1 month ago
@MrCobra811 Basically you're claiming that some unobserved being, the creator, either "created the universe from nothing"(A statement that is meaningless, because the word create refers to a situation where an agent acts on something(not nothing) to produce another thing) or the creator created the universe by manipulating its own essence.(That is, we're all made of "God stuff")
Gnomefro 1 month ago
@MrCobra811 You'll note that the latter of those options, while not meaningless like the first one, seems to not have any explanatory power. You're just asserting that amazingly complex gods with superpowers can exist for no reason what so ever, and your reason for introducing them in the first place was that you were not happy with the idea that things did not have creators - yet here you are insisting that god does not have a creator.

@Gnomefro Amazing complex Gods , God is not a creation cos if he was he wouldn't be called God , Know the deffinition of the word God then make questions !
"I was not happy with the idea that something can exist without creator" pffhahah Only in your absurd brain that can happen !
There is a posiibility that something can fashion itself , only crazy people believe that nonsense !
MrCobra811 1 month ago
@MrCobra811 It's rather clear that the act of introducing that god is an instance of mental masturbation gone bad. When you agree that it is possible for gods to exist without "creators", then you should consider that option more seriously for nature itself. You may want to throw out the concept of "creator" as well, and replace it with "cause", because you will invariably start sprouting meaningless nonsense and faulty analogies using the word creator.

@Gnomefro What are you talking about ? If it is possible for Gods to exist ITS ONE GOD ALLAH dont use Gods here !

@MrCobra811 Actually everything that it takes to make him, or me, or even you, for that matter, most likely always existed, in one form or another.

@MrCobra811 No actually we don't know that there was a beginning and since energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it is possible that the BIG BANG could be the beginning of a cycle which will end when all the stars run out of fuel and are drawn toward the constant force of gravity produce by black holes which seems to be made of Dark Matter/Energy and you can call that the Restaurant At The End Of The Universe.

TheDano1947 3 weeks ago
@MrCobra811 The Big Bang Theory traces the universe, and the path of stellar matter back to a point, called a singularity. However, that does not necessarily mark a, or even, the beginning. It could simply be a state of an eternal universe at a given point in time. There are many valid theories of an ever expanding and contracting universe.
frankleeseaux 3 weeks ago
@MrCobra811 It's easy to screw up with first causes as well, as you have to make sure that the way you are using the word is in harmony with some plausible theory of causation, which introduces some of the problems with "creators", but at least then you'll have less room to confuse yourself with analogy to believe that complex agents like gods can be a rational default.

@boochainletters12 You are right , belief is backed up with some evidence to make it believeble , You cannot just believe anything , but you cannot prove anything either based on just evidence ! Belief and evidence work hand and hand , belief without some evidence is blind , But the more evidence you have the more believable you become , isn't it ? Belief is something which we don't witness on first hand but based on collection of some evidences we say we believe somethong!

@supergogoanimations Has the "holy water phenomenon" been tested and verified independently by qualified persons and peer reviewed by multiple others? As far as I can see, only religious websites talk about the holy water structure and none have listed external confirmation. Also, the law of attraction could also be seen as one striving to have a positive influence on their own life and acting on it, even if it's subconsciously. I think my explanation fits better.
