This video is covering the common ideas of God.
Full video script, it was typed all at once and may have some spelling mistakes and might have a wording mistake, if you find one, notify me and I'll make an annotation for the video.
TheReasonWhy: God is flawed
The Problem of Timelessness
If God is timeless,
then God experiences all moments of time simultaneosly, since if he didn't, then he couldn't know everything.
If God Knows all that will happen,
then events from the perspective of God are set and unchangable.
Also, from the perspective of an entity that doesn't know the future, events could possibly not be predetermined.
If God Is all Powerful,
then his creation will be exactly what he wants it to be.
If God makes something knowing what will happen,
then God is responsible.
If God made everything knowing what will happen,
then God is responsible for everything that happens.
This means that either God isn't timeless, or he isn't all powerfull.
If God isn't timeless,
then God isn't a viable argument for the first cause.
The Problem of Evil
If God is All good and all powerfull.
then his creation would be perfect and all good.
However, ignoring the previous demonstration of Gods absolute responsibility for all actions.
We can then ask why is there evil?
Remember, this is ignoring the previous points showing how God is the only being responsible for everything.
Lets Give Christians the idea that freewill is valid from an all knowing universe maker.
If then Humans brought evil into the world by being defiant,
then why doesn't God, being all good, solve the issues of evil effortlessly.
Theists then say that if God got rid of evil, where would you be, or anyone, implying that evil being removed would mean that everyone would die.
HOWEVER, being that God is all powerfull, why is the only solution to evil to kill people, why not use his infinite power to remove the evil from everyone.
Theists then say that God is just and couldn't simply resolve the issue without dispensing justice.
However the question rises, how is God's non action just?
Is it Just to hold the decendants of a criminal to the crime[s] they commited. Or if it is that the nature of criminality is inherited[original sin],
how is an ant, for instance, guilty for his nature? Also, if the decendant doesn't follow their nature, would they then still be automatically guilty of those crimes? I think its obvious to conclude that the alleged actions of God,
are, to say the least, unjust or evil.
The Problem of Explanatory Value
The more complicated something is, the more explanation it needs.
We know the universe exists, and is complicated.
Complicated entities create stuff that is simpler than they are.
If the universe was created, then the creator would have to be more complicated than the universe.
Since the creator is more complicated than the universe, the creator would need more explanation than the simpler universe it created.
This is in contrast with the idea that the universe is self contained, and simpler than a creator of it.
Which means that postulating a creator has a negative explanatory value.
This means, that as an explanation, it has use and must be disregarded.
So, in conclusion, God is either not all powerful, or is not all knowing if he is timeless, and if he isn't timeless, then he couldn't be the creator of time, and if time doesn't need a begining, then what purpose does God have, and finally, God has a negative explanatory value, thus isn't an explanation.
In summery, God probably isn't real, and we're responsible for what we do, to ourselves, and to others.
Don't worry, the world isn't so dark without God, with the light of science, we'll see our way into understanding, and truly learn what the universe has in store for us.
