Stephen Hawking for starters believes that. Nothing is not an abstract concept. Nothing means the absence of anything. If you have something it's not nothing. People seem to be trying to change the definition of nothing
That's not presumptuous, cosmology states that everything that exists has a beginning (cause) our universe exists therefore our universe has a beginning or cause. If science claims this how can I be presumptuous for following what science says is FACT
Not really trying to invoke anything. I'm trying to see what the information says. Time, space, matter, physics and chemistry (our entire known universe in a nutshell) all of these things came to existence out of nothing. None of these things can create themselves sooooo...where did it all come...
I am painfully aware of this. I'm not a scholar by any means, but I've been trying to follow the information logically. Nothing goes beyond the singularity. If science can't get beyond this point with what we have because it doesn't fit why then wouldn't logic say it's something beyond what we...
I know what I believe however it's not something I can prove. It seems to me that some amount of faith has to be in place regardless of worldview. I think there are things neither side can answer, but I don't think they're missing answers to the same questions
Not asking you to believe, but let's say the God you say is hypothetical actually exists and is everything Christians believe him to be. Wouldn't a calling from him rate being more important than your own perception?
An atheist would likely tell you that it's the electrical impulses created in the brain that are keeping us alive. They're controlling every function of our bodies.
This is my question. Why is it that science still can't answer the big question; what caused all of this?
Many theists (myself included) already hold this view. So far I feel the best argument for this has been presented by J Warner Wallace in his book God's Crime Scene which has been a major component of my research
Here is the argument I'm going to present in a nutshell: I want to show that time, space, matter, physics, and chemistry (our known universe) all point to a single cause and that the most reasonable explanation of that cause is God.
@Trailblazer Look just slow your language. You're making things unnecessarily complicated for yourself. You don't need to explain quantum physics to utilize its information. You only need to know what the experts in that field say about it. Keep it simple and there won't be so many tangles in...
And I will admit up until probably a year ago maybe 2 I was the Christian that made all of you atheists think we were a joke because I did not live a Christian life. It was when this information came across my path that that changed because I saw the bible with a different perspective
I thought about posting as I went, but it would feel broken. The information begins to make more sense together but it's a TON of research. There's a lot of days that I get home from work and do research till I go to bed
It's a process much like building a court case. Present the evidence with the very laws they hold to but show that together their collective beliefs actually point back to an intelligent creator...God...as the most likely suspect
You act like he makes the decision. He's a detective, not a judge or jury. He only presents evidence, if people are in jail due to him it's because the jury and judge had faith in the evidence presented. Rethink your logic.
Probably not, the title said what is your God...for me there is only one answer to that...God, I think that's the reason it was reposed to me as what is God to you
