Totally bull shit proportions on the timeline... I wonder how many theories and scientific research studies you didn't use to draw up that contrived piece of fecal waste.

[5thWatcher]

@ZophiaMei Wow, eat me. You obviously disagree but can't seem to use the science you shun me for not using in your sophomoric rebuttal.

[ZophiaMei]

@5thWatcher

You seriously call my rebuttal sophomoric for calling you out on your non use of factual evidence while claiming to disprove peoples beliefs with science?

Science is deriving fact out of testing logic. As I recall, logic is something you claim to have... Now tell me, how is contriving a randomly proportioned timeline out of the emptiness of your head and leading your "logical" explanations with the term "I think......." anything close to Scientific proof?

Bite me!

@ZophiaMei Maybe later.

It was only sophomoric for calling it fecal waste. Logic involved a conclusion following a premise. A logical proof still counts as evidence. If you disagree you're an empiricist. Which is fine, but there's more to the universe than what you can see and feel.

I think I must have missed the argument against it...

@Londron Wow, apparently I didn't link tot the first video. I have now created said link as an annotation in this video. It basically goes into more detail about what I think about the argument and why God doesn't have to be an ever shrinking God.

Great! Now demonstrate that god is present in the knowable part.

[Sickopath333]

What I don't understand is the idea that science will have a plausible, evidence-based explanation for what ultimately cannot be studied. For ex, anything involving the Big Bang can only be studied and calculated after the fact, with no way to test or replicate any aspect of the event. Anything prior to that falls into the same category, and Stephen Hawkins' attempt to nullify God from the equation is laughable. Science can't explain it, but it's not a fallacy to say, it will eventually!

The one thing that atheists forget, is, for example: Everything in the universe is contingent until we go all the way back to the big bang. The big bang obviously contained "intelligent information". So intelligent, in fact, as to allow life on earth. The big bang contained "information". Where did this info come from? Was it just sitting in space for eternity @ "infinite density" and then some Tuesday afternoon 13 billion yrs ago just exploded by itself? Science will make excuses to deny God

ooo a skittle XD

Simply not having yet scientifically discovered how the universe was formed does not make it "unknowable." When we didn't know the shape of the earth it wasn't unknowable we simply hadn't discovered it yet. Also if we could discover how a god/allah/tom cruise created the universe there would no longer be faith, a cornerstone of Abrahamic/tom cruisic religions.
