9. Worst Objection to Kalam Cosmological Argument: Negative Attribues of God is Nothing

http://reasonablefaith.org - Biola University, 2010 - Perhaps the worst objections to the Kalam Cosmological Argument you'll ever hear is on youtube (by youtube atheists) and the Internet. Here, Dr. William Lane Craig has fun dealing with these pseudo-intellects and their shallow understanding of the Kalam Cosmological Argument, logic and philosophy. In this episode, some atheists argue that the negative attributes of God (timeless, spaceless, etc.) is the same as nothing.

Couldn't stop smiling at: "You have got to be kidding...(?)"..

@acceptjesusorburn Ask him how many working models of the atom have existed in the last 250 years. I think the number is somewhere around 4 (solid single unit, unit of mixed positive and negative charges, nucleus of positive charges surrounded by 'light' negative charges, nucleus of positive charges and neutral bits surrounded by 'light' negative charges, and now we have even smaller things...). Philosophy is no more nor less accurate than science when done properly.

some of these arguments are "any port in the storm" stuff

God bless you William Craig!

But when theologians speak of the infinity of God, they are not using the word in a mathematical sense to refer to an aggregate of an infinite number of elements. God's infinity is, as it were, qualitative, not quantitative. It means that God is metaphysically necessary, morally perfect, omnipotent, omniscient, eternal, and so on.

@ParadoxEternal I've read your post several times, and can't make heads or tails out of it. But I think you just proved the universe doesn't exist. Congratulations.

And I guess Cantor's Theorem was all for ... nothing.

Love this! Keep bringing the vids, Drcraigvideos!

Hrm actually infinity (God) is nothing.The cosmological argument support this. Since an infinite series cannot exist, infinity must be nothing. And a series finite, and require the infinite (nothing) as it`s cause. But nothing is not something, and something does not "come out of nothing". They are not the same, aka the pantheistic view, as if nothing become something. That is illogical.

why would anyone dislike this?

Wow, who would seriously defend that objection. It's nothing more than a cute joke..
