Making assumptions about reality again.
Who demonstrated that the universe doesn't come from a physical reality?
I can't prove it. Hence the word "might". It's a what-if question. You don't know. Neither do I. I'm just trying to make clear to you how you are making unreasonable assumptions...
Other Atheists are not taking it as a strawman and these Atheists are experts on the field of Fine Tuning
"fine tuning" is not a "field".
At best, it's a non-scientific metaphor used by scientists to make a point about physics. At worse, it's a concept being abused by creationists. This thread is a great example of it.
Is the Universe due to intention or chance?
Why are those the only choices?
And my answer is that I don't know. I'm not the one pretending to have an answer to such questions... that's you.
It is due to Intention because chance can't account for it.
False dichotomy and argument from incredulity. And somewhat of an appeal to ignorance as well. Gratz on the combo points.
Prove me that the Universe exists due to chance or else you are making an argument from ignorance. "I wish the Universe is due to chance"
The projection is hilarious. And my irony meter exploded.
First, why would I try to prove claims that I'm not making?
Second, your bronze-age claims aren't true by default. If you wish to claim intention, then you have a burden of proof. Good luck with that.
Me? I'll stick to "i don't know".
The people that do science prove that they are the images of God because God is known through His Creation.
Evidence?
Again its not pseudoscience to discover intention, Criminologists do this all the time, through science they discover if a death was due to intention or due to accident, is now Criminology a pseudoscience?
The difference is that "criminologists" use evidence to make support their claims, and they also don't provide the answers before asking the questions.
They also have massive bodies of precedents and cases to compare to, to form their conclusions. You have exactly one universe and no way to compare it to another. You do have, however, an a priori belief that
requires you to believe that there IS intention. You formed your conclusion before you asked the question.
And for the record, it seems to me like you haven't even come around to honestly asking the question. You started from your answer and continued from there.
When Atheists talk about God as pseudoscience they WANT the Universe to be infinite and therefore they imply also a metaphysical explanation which goes straight against science because an infinite Universe can never be known (it is infinite). Anyway even infinite past cause still need an absolute cause.
And infinite past, by definition, doesn't have a cause, because it never began... being infinite and all...
Regardless though, I don't believe in an infinite past (or an intinite universe for that matter). So I wonder what your point is. Another strawman I guess.
You don't understand what i am saying here, science doesn't answer questions about existence, that's materialism of the gaps. I say the Universe is due to intention
Evidence of this claim?
you say it is due to chance
No. I said that
I don't know. 5th time I have to repeat it. Don't let me catch you state that strawman again in future responses. I will be calling you a liar if you do so.
so you can feel that your life is purposeless
My life is not without purpose at all.
i already debunked chance as an explanation
Actually, you just asserted it. Much like you just asserted everything else. You didn't debunk (or demonstrate) anything at all.
, basically chance fails to explain anything
Chance explains lots of things.
Like "why did I win the lottery?" The answer is in probabilities. Chance. The answer is not "because Mars was in the right position" or "fairies made those numbers pop up". The explanation is chance.
therefor it is due to intention
False dichotomy and baseless assertion.
Even assuming that chance isn't an option, that doesn't automatically make your particular claim true. You're still required to support your claim with actual positive evidence FOR your claim.
I say that a timeless and spaceless consciousness before the Universe intended to create the Universe
Evidence?
Start with demonstrating that a "timeless and spaceless consciousness" even exists.
Then explain how the words "before the universe" even make sense.
Then support the claim that this "timeless and spaceless consciousness" created the universe.
It seems you have a lot of homework to do.
, proof of that? That i have the same immaterial timeless and spaceless consciousness i describe and of course because intention is only part of consciousness!
No explanation? If there is no physical explanation why don't you move explanation above naturalism?
Because when we do that, we end up with Norse Gods smashing hammers to explain things like lightning and thunder.
Are the constants causeless from nothing?
I don't understand this question.
I can't prove a negative lol
I didn't ask you to. You made a statement ("universe is unique") and I challenged it.
You saying here that you "can't prove a negative" is actually an admission that you can't support your empty statement. That was the point.
You made the claim that there are other Universes, prove it.
I never made such a claim.
I consider it a possibility. I'm not saying it is the case. It's just yet another possibility. There are lots of possibilities. Some of them interesting, others not. Some of them with some support, others without.
There's no conclusive explanation. That's why I say that
I don't know.
Only one of us is pretending to know. And it's not me.
