Everyone knows examples.
I cannot answer questions that have not been asked.Why? Its just a general q.
Everyone knows examples.
Nobody knows. There have been various suggestions, such as vacuum fluctuations, colliding branes, black holes in other universes. Lawrence Krauss, in A universe from nothing, and Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow, in The Grand Design, appear to think that the universe may have come from nothing.I meant no disrespect. So what caused the bang?
This argument takes you only as far as deism. As Bradskii has already said, it is a very long step from the deist god to Christianity or to any other of the world's religions.God?. Why God and not something else.
You are in good company.And I don't understand,
Perhaps there was no cause, or nothing that we would recognise as a cause. Lawrence Krauss, in Chapter 10 of A universe from nothing, appears to suggest that 'nothing' is unstable, and that 'one specific type of universe ... might appear and need not disappear almost immediately afterwards because of the constraints of the Uncertainty Principle and energy conservation.'like I agree with the second premise. It most definitely began to exist. But why would there be a cause when a cause has to exist in time? But there is no time
I did ask a hypothetical q., but if youI cannot answer questions that have not been asked.

Honestly, the things people say god can or cannot do.
Like they even know if there Is a god.
There is a perspective, mostly with the Mystics, where God is both inside as well as outside matter. The matter aspect happens in time.If God is outside time, then God cannot act inside time, and therefore cannot effect events in this universe.
He is eternal. Timeless. He doesn't leave things until tomorrow. There's no time limit for what He does. He doesn't have to wait to see how things turn out. You can't deny any of that.He can't be two contradictory things at once. That's like making a rock so heavy he can't lift it.
So you agree with both.
Either the rules of logic apply, or they don't. I'm just pointing out that the "outside time" claims are nonsensical.
The heavy rock thing is silly. The entire universe doesHe can't be two contradictory things at once. That's like making a rock so heavy he can't lift it.
Some religious insight that made sense, resonated some way.
Of course I can, because you've provided no evidence. You simply made all that up.He is eternal. Timeless. He doesn't leave things until tomorrow. There's no time limit for what He does. He doesn't have to wait to see how things turn out. You can't deny any of that.
Proof?But He, being omnipotent, can also act within time.
I hereby deny it, because you've provided no evidence.He sent His son at a specific time to live a life here. He apparently speaks to individuals at different times. He created the world in sequence. You know, on the first day etc...And there's nothing there you can deny either.
I assert that everything you've posted here is false.So you agree with both.
Space itself has weight.The heavy rock thing is silly. The entire universe does
weigh anything.
If God is perfect by definition, doesn't that imply that God cannot make a false statement?The rules that people make for god are things
like that he cannot do evil, ie is less capable than i am.
Space itself has weight.
If God is perfect by definition, doesn't that imply that God cannot make a false statement?
Therefore God is incapable of stating that 2 plus 2 equals five.
