My Cumulative Arguments for God's Existence - Part 1 (Rough version)

A very rough, unformulated, unstructured presentation of some arguments for the existence of God.

The main argument is in part II, I very quickly breeze through some points to lay a foundation for the final argument. A follow up video proving the points I presume for sake of argument will be presented at a later stage.

Hope you enjoy this in the mean time ;)

God Bless,

Henry

@TheHonestTheist ..If the universe is finite ( which I agree with for what its worth ) it does indeed entail a beginning. However you use the word 'created' this is not a term that entails a creator except in the minds of those inclined to want a 'creator'. You could just say it had a beginning..doesn't necessitate a beginnerer :). We don't know the 'cause' and it is more honest to just say that...

@resonance10 "You could just say it had a beginning..doesn't necessitate a beginnerer"

In my opinion it does mean we need "something" as the cause though.

"We don't know the 'cause' and it is more honest to just say that..."

Just because you don't know, doesn't mean others don't. It's true that in terms of science and philosophy (and all methods dependent upon our own knowledge and intellect) cannot give us a true answer. But you are neglecting revelation, a knowledge of God given by God.

@TheHonestTheist "In my opinion it does mean we need "something" as the cause though." My point as i am sure you are aware was that there is no need of 'intentional agency' the anthropomorphizing of the unknown.

"It's true that in terms of science and philosophy (and all methods dependent upon our own knowledge and intellect) cannot give us a true answer". Please square that statement with this one: "But you are neglecting revelation, a knowledge of God given by God."

@resonance10 "My point as i am sure you are aware was that there is no need of 'intentional agency' the anthropomorphizing of the unknown"

The point you are referring to doesn't mention an agent, just a cause.

"square that statement"

What do you mean?

@TheHonestTheist I think I know what resonance10 meant. I'll put it htis way. You did a thorough job of researching scientific evidence about the big bang, and steady-state models of the universe. Why do you rely on revelation or logical arguments to support the existence of god, and not on scientific evidence. I'm curious to know too, since you appreat to have devoted a lot of time and energy in your research. Kudos.

Nice video mate! God bless :)

Who created your god? Where is he now? What role does he currently play in world events? Does he still control the weather? How come he did so many "miracles" when our species knew nothing about nature and germs and mental illness, yet now that we are more informed he has gone brain-dead and silent? WHere is your god? All your convoluted arguments ring hollow, because your god has gone silent and he is powerless.

Any examples of anything that is immaterial that exists? Immaterial=nonexistant.

[TMeerkat8]

people could spend years trying to prove gods existance but even if they manage. which god?

[MyContext]

@TheHonestTheist There is nothing that support revelation is true. Culture groups only express the idea of revelation for things to which they have been exposed. If you revelation were true, I would expect that it would appear in non-related cultural groups.

The big bang theory doesnt say that the big bang was the beginning of the universe (the word 'beginning' is absurd in this context btw, since time didnt exist yet), just that there is no way of saying how it was like before the big bang (since it was a singularity), and we could just as well speak of it as if it were the start, while in fact we dont know if thats true. There are some theories that explain why the universe exist, like that our universe is just a quantum bubble in a multiverse.

[BigIdeaSeeker]

Kalam cosmological argument at best leads to impersonal deism, and that's if all premises are accepted without question. And maybe it's just me, but I found the contemporary gospel music distracting.

[BigIdeaSeeker]

Okay, so I haven't watched any of your videos yet, but did you know the earth is rotating the wrong direction in your intro? Not the best start for someone trying to argue proofs for God's existence. If you already addressed this in another vide, forgive me for bringing it up. Now I will check out your vid.

Respond to this video... Thanks for actually engaging btw :)
