I am just about to upload a video response completely refuting you.

@warriorchristian1994 OH SHIT

Well, let me know.

[Th1sWasATriumph]

@SuperWorldwide23 I read your comment and I noticed the funniest thing! There wasn't a SINGLE argument, simply a general attack on my "ignorance" of logic and reason. It's curious how many people will attack me on general grounds but not pick any specific points to try and refute. Do you think that simply telling me I'm ignorant constitutes an "argument"?

Also, I doubt you meant "uniformed". You probably meant "unformed". I guess it's ironic to tell me I'm disjointed when you can't write.

God Exists! I received my PhD from Harvard... Harvard Alabama Community Bible College. My pastor and I prayed together and God spoke to us. My wife has her PhD from M.I.T., Mormon Institute of Theology. She studied the Bible and assures me God is real. Scientists don't know what came before the Big Bang. I do. The Bible says "In the beginning God said..." see, I know and Atheists don't. If the Earth is round, how come Chinese people don't fall off into Hell? Yeah, Pwnage!!

[paramattic70]

People who use philosophy to prove something exists just run around in circles. People who claim they are intellectually superior and believe in God is an oxymoron. I can't count how many times Christians have impressed on me their I.Q. Or how smart they think they are. My dad gave me great advice when I was a kid. "Shut up and listen, you might learn something"!

@adamseeb1 Daft one. Kalaam fails.

[adamseeb1]

I no Islam in its ash'ari/maturidi forms sez God is timeless, spaceless, exists without a place. the kalaam argument is widely emplyd by islamic philosophers.

in the Koran, it's not the universe but the seed is likend. (surah 56). it sez who sprouts the seed:

a) men,

b) itself

c) God.

wun can tranfur this t u the big bang, I ges.

nice wun.

@SuperWorldwide23 "Attention Atheist. Please understand that Philosophy is well a grounded discipline. Grounded in Logic and Reason. And your constant display of ignorance of the topic doesn't help your cause..."

Philosophy may grant you license to posit the supernatural, but to define it, characterize it and make positive claims (Christianity) defending these notions....Now who's being ignorant!

And Playing the intellectual intimidation card is getting old, get over yourself lol

[sammy2trees]

"God is a metaphysically necessary being..."

*SIGH*

OK, god is a metaphysically necessary being.

But how did he make the jump from a necessary being to the Christian god? How did he go from claiming our universe is the product of a supernatural force to defining it, giving it character and personality and calling it the "Christian" god?? So does this mean that if I earn myself a PhD I will have access and insight into the supernatural as well LOL

[hornylink]

you're wrong about the time thing at the beginning. an a-temporal being can be the first cause of a temporal being from the point of view of said temporal being, so in that case it's simply a matter of perspective.

[hackenbollox]

Eternal AND timeless? How the fuck does that work, then?

Good vid, dude.

[kingkong8974]

@Th1sWasATriumph He will refute you by quoting the Bible...
