Of course it is psychological, it is my mind.
I made the "guess", as I deleted the "gigantic cosmic accident" theory as practically impossible.
I then found that my reasoning led me on a spiritual journey, and that belief in God makes complete sense .. righteousness is never lost, even if persecuted in this life.
Of course it is, but that is not all we have to go on. It is only part of the equation .. or reasoning.
False. I do not make a "special plead".
You talk about "a god" as if it is some material person. It is not.
Bad argument. You say that claiming God created the universe, is "special pleading", due to the concept of a non-material phenomena being eternal.
..but when you think you can say that the universe is eternal, then it suddenly needs no explanation.
I call that hypocrisy.
I don't find either hard to accept.
i.e. an eternal universe, or an eternal phenomena called God
In fact, I see that God exists, and is not dependent on whether the universe is eternal or not.
The thing is .. it is clearly finite, and all life on earth must die.
I do believe that the universe has a beginning and an end.
IT IS FINITE.
