[QUOTE="fargonic, post: 70509717, member: 363983"] This is good for people who start from a position of belief in God. Obviously as far as "information" it is very short on it, especially if one comes from a position of lack of belief. Let us say you were presented with someone who had no experience in any religion whatsoever of earth and you wanted to tell them where the earth came from. You start off with the contention that [I]ex nihilo nihil fit[/I] (from nothing, nothing comes). And then you say that the universe could [I]not[/I] have started from nothing but you have a [B]better explanation[/B] for its existence and it requires that you start with a [I]being[/I] that has always existed. What you have told this hypothetical person is that: the idea of a being that didn't ever START to exist is [I]ipso facto[/I] better than the idea of a universe that popped into existence from nothing by some unknown process. Can you see how this will appear to the external viewer? [/QUOTE]
