@ tensorbundle, you did this on your own!!

[tatripp]

this video proves god's existence.

If it is possible that a necessary being exists, then it is impossible to exist without the necessary being. unicorns, teapots, and flying spaghetti monsters aren't necessary but the creator of the universe is. The creator of the universe is who i call God.

@tatripp

There's no proof of any creator, much less which one?

[tatripp]

@edmacdaddy i disagree. there is proof of a creator. YOU EXIST. Atheism is not possible because of infinite regression. here is proof of a God.

1) time has a starting point

2) Time is something

3) Something cannot come from nothing

4) Therefore something created or started time

5) God must exist as the thing that created or started time.

@tatripp

"Something cannot come from nothing"

Then where did you 'god' come from ?

@yahavx I think it could be better explained by as God being the explanation for existence itself. Since God is being itself, not a being within space/time. We must be careful to use faith and reason in conjunction with faith. Faith without reason can go down a dark road. Looking at the intellectual giants in those that argue for atheism and those for theism; the intellectuals for theism appear to much more consistent throughout their reasoning and logic.

@yahavx ha. clever

[yahavx]

~Believers logic~

Something cant be explained ---> GOD EXIST!!!

[yahavx]

In my life I've been in many tough situations when there seemed to be no way to overcome them. But I sincerely called out my God, He removed my hardships in such a way I could never think. I was a dejected miserable wretch, my God provided me serenity and honor. Yes God exists.
