Dr. Bill is cool!

[blayde999]

Glad to see Dr. Bill Craig, one of my favorite apologists. I've listened to him so much. We can look into the cosmological arguments, and I have yet to see even one refutation to what Bill Craig (and Hugh Ross, a scientist who actually does have a PH.D in Astronomy) have to say about the cosmological argument. And I've looked. They all seem at best philosophically unsound, at worst, flat out impossible. I present one problem to atheists right now, Antony Flew. :) Keep trying though.

@Mega

No offense, but that's a really idiotic and uneducated comment.

Dr bill is NAZI

[MegaCaracolillo]

First give an evidence of god an AFTER talks about their

infinities.

(Idiot)

In a etimo-philosophical sense.

YOU MUST HAVE ARGUMENTS.

Not I

Idiot

[the1qb]

@MegaCaracolillo I'm just glad that you have to resort to attacking me because you can't respond to the argument

[MegaCaracolillo]

@the1qb

You say god is infinite in a qualitative sense.

You say god is infinite not in a quantitative sense.

Infinite quality.

Not-infinit quantity.

I say your idiotity is infinite.(In a etimo-philosophycal sense)

[the1qb]

No when we say God is infinite it's in a qualitative sense not a quantitative sense. Secondly, this argument leads to monotheism not greek or norse polytheism. Lastly, you needing to resort to a red herring shows how little you've actually examined the argument as your objections are simply fallacious.

[LucianUramu]

@the1qb so its impossible for something to be infinite except for God because why exactly? You and this argument still make very bold assumptions that just carry no weight. Added on to that it still only argues for a god, this argument is equally valid for proving zeus, izanami, or Bor of norse mythology.

[the1qb]

@LucianUramu No the argument states that whatever begins to exist has a cause. If the universe was eternal it wouldn't need a cause. The principle of sufficient reason would still apply however. Modern Cosmology and Astrophysics as well as the impossibility of an actual infinite go to prove that the universe wasn't eternal. Therefore, the cause must be eternal in order to account for the effect that we see. The argument doesn't say something can't be eternal so your objection is simply absurd

[LucianUramu]

@the1qb

Yes and it back tracks all the way to everything began with God except himself because he defies and therefore disproves the argument which is all based on assumption anyway. Which means it is still a worthless argument so take your "Please actually think before you post..." and put it to practice yourself.

[the1qb]

@LucianUramu He said whatever begins to exist has a cause please actually think before you post a comment
