• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I fear you are misunderstanding me.

Quantum mechanics tells us very clearly that there is no specific cause. It is probabilistic - we can only ever determine the probability of the atom decaying.
I need to ask you. How do you define a cause? Dose it need to be determinable by us humans for it to be a cause?

You don't seem to get it.
How we define it is irrelevant. Quantum mechanics - which has been very well verified - tells us there is no specific cause.
Actually, all that quantum mechanics can tell us is that we can't specify a cause, any more than we can trace down, after the fact, the identity of the butterfly whose wing flapping caused the hurricane. In considering quantum cosmology that butterfly might be in a neighboring universe.

No, but the underlying theory that tells us just what's happening, does say there's no cause.

Thank you, because nothing causes, nothing.

Sure about that?,

The Quantum Vacuum is NOT Nothing - Alexander Vilenkin, PhD - YouTube

Also w_child, I already proved to you that nothing causes, nothing.

Lets refresh your memory,


God(The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit) created All Reality.

your response was, http://www.christianforums.com/t7695364-8/#post61736781

and I refuted that with, http://www.christianforums.com/t7695364-8/#post61737898



Which you never replied to. get over the argument, it's void because nothing causes, nothing.

Ah yes, I remember that. 'Refutation' is a tad generous.

Which you never replied to.
Mhm. I'd made my responses to your arguments. Your last post was a repetition of the last, a mess of petitio principii.

Because you say so, right? Sorry, you really do need to understand that an argument needs more than that.

God does not have to abide by mine or anyone's logic. God is God. And that God I have recently come to know as KRISHNA. KRISHNA in the fully personal, robust sense of that term. All this world is his materialized will-force, the end-result of Love. We are all One, I have come to acknowledge, but God has a personal face.

Refutation is generous, more like demolished everything about "naturalism", The Holy Spirit gave me The Power and Wisdom to destroy "naturalism", if it wasn't already destroyed by The Bible and Science.

Mhm. I'd made my responses to your arguments. Your last post was a repetition of the last, a mess of petitio principii.

No it wasn't, if it was you'd refute it, I'll post again and let others judge it for themselves.

Because you say so, right? Sorry, you really do need to understand that an argument needs more than that.

Because I say so, right? Sorry indeed! because it's not because I say so, but because I proved so with Facts..

Lets again refresh your memory,


And in case you claimed you refuted anything, I refute that as well with the last rebuttal which you couldn't reply to,


http://www.christianforums.com/t7695364-8/#post61737898

Go back to that thread and defend your argument, otherwise as I've already proved(evident by the fact that I proved nothing causes nothing and you couldn't refute anything) that nothing causes nothing.

There is no mindless "naturalist" explanation to The First Uncaused Cause/Cause of the universe, you are left with The Fact that, God exists, The Bible is True and His Authentic Word and that God is The Trinity of The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit). Amen.

1 Fact, The Bible, nothing else. Look up The Facts and Accept Jesus Christ.

Ah! Now it makes sense. The reason you don't change your argument, the reason you assume your conclusion and fundamentally cannot see your error, is because you actually believe it's come

No it wasn't, if it was you'd refute it,
You assume that I want to - I don't. It stands for itself as a pillar of the worst logic seen on Christian Forums.

Because I say so, right? Sorry indeed! because it's not because I say so, but because I proved so with Facts..


Sure you have, dear, sure you have.



I'm astounded you actually believe that. Even if you argument worked - and it doesn't - that's not even what it proves! And you wonder why I don't bother making a response...

Before I accept the Bible as a factual source, I would like to know what method has certified it as objective.

For example, are there any sources other than the Bible which mentioned the Jewish exodus from Egypt?

Never trust the mind. The mind can be your worst enemy. You have to pacify it somehow. Truth comes first, then the mind can step in as a maidservant to that glorious Truth.
Seductive anti-intellectualism, eh?

Sounds like a PA bought to you by the Ministry of Truth.

No, anti-intellectualism is of the mind also. If something has an opposite, it is of the mind. Truth is absolute. Mind deals with dualities.
So distrust of intellectuals and suspicion of new information is now of the mind?
