Since it is not possible to go there (without dying I presume) there is no point in contemplating it at all. I don't care about what happens when I die because I'll be dead. As a living human being, I can't be concerned about "testing out waters" so to speak that I can't test out until I die. Surely you must understand this?
     
    Thats the problem you have, you are contemplating it by asking questions about it. You ask a question, then when i answer it, you step back and say it doesnt exist? Once you ask the question, you take a step / commitiment that it exists, then when an answer is given, you come back and say how do you do know it exists?
     
    Cant you see what you are doing?
     
    By definition, God exists in a supernatural realm. Just like the person in the example, they while in this life, DONT KNOW the laws in the supernatural world, that is why it is an incoherent and illogical question to ask who created God. Thats it, end of story, now you will duck back and say how do you know it exists?
    And yes, by definition "Atheism" is false because no one on this planet knows for certain whether a god exists or not. So technically speaking, if I acknowledge the possibility of a god existing, no matter how small I think it is, I am, by definition, agnostic. I guess that is true. However, that does not give any additional credence to your god's existence. All it does is establish that no human being can be certain.
     
     I have always said belief is faith based. The reason why i bring this up, because there is always a stereotype that atheists give themselves that science is there backbone and faith is for fools. I was simply pointing out that the atheist actually have faith.

    Matt - if you wanna call "that which always existed - God," that is perfectly acceptable. But as we've said many times, that does not mean this "god," this "initial creator," this thing that always existed, whatever it is, is anything more than that. Whatever it was that always existed is not necessarily the Christian god, jesus, moses, allah, mohammed, the flying spaghetti monster, a superbestfriend, david blaine, i can go on forever lol. The initial "thing" can be ANYTHING, literally ANYTHING. So even if there does exist some initial "creator," we have no idea what it is.

    I said the KCA renders atheism false, because the KCA clearly points to a cause of the universe that is outside space, time and matter.The naturalists ONLY believes in the natural world, nothing outside it. The KCA gives naturalists one big head ache

    The KCA is definitly one of the most powerful arguments for Gods existence.

    Your problem is you are ducking behind this concept of a supernatural realm. I understand that by definition god must exist there, but if that's the case, then the existence of the two go hand in hand, and neither can support the existence of the other. If I reject the existence of a world other than this one, how can I possibly accept the existence of a god?

    In the ocean example, it is like me asking the person who saw the ocean for the first time, can i breath under water, can i float on the water? He is going to say, i dont know because he hasnt observed the environment of the water yet, until he does, he cant answer that.

    I know we know the ocean exists because we have seen it but not the supernatural because we havent observed it. That is not my point, the point is about making CONCLUSIONS or asking questions about something we dont know or assuming one set of laws apply somewhere else.

    And as I asked earlier...  Lets assume this supernatural world has whatever laws you want, or no laws at all.  Where did the supernatural world come from??  You believe this world is infinite and has always been there??  I'm just curious...

    Actually rostos I was fibbing about focusing on you.....Not worth the effort.

    I just like to randomly open any religion thread and not read anything but you take up 70% of the space. Then laugh and remember the first time you came into my threads and dared to comment with your very intelligent opinions on my humor.
    Remember when I called you out for being the extreme religious weirdo type I throw drinks on at music festivals who are shouting bible verses and holding that 6 foot sin with a jesus verse on it....Yeah that is you and I was right........
    Carry on idiots and I will pop back in to remind you that you are idiot.
    The only decision that you have made correctly was to be a coward and stay out of my threads and stick to what you know...Religion
    See you guys at post 4000 and it will be the same jackasses talking to me now about this.....Wait and see

    What if the supernatural world was ETERNAL? Ie, its past was infinity?

    Afterall, prior to the discovery of the big bang and Einsteins law of relativity, atheists believed the universe was eternal, so why cant the supernatural be eternal?

    You can't even see that your first statement is not equivalent as being the same as "something came from nothing"

    God is not a being (something) that came from nothing.

     That is not logical when God has always been in existence and so how does He come from nothing?...it is impossible for Him to come into being from nothing when He has always been in existence, or eternal...He has no beginning or no end.

    Everyone knows from nothing comes nothing, but I guess except you...lol

    Your second statement says you don't know how it started and so how can you say, "but it doesn't mean it is any god, let alone yours?

    You make no claim how it started because you say you don't know but we have made a claim saying we do know how it all started, yet you refuse our claim which I might add has reasonable logical reasons to make it a valid claim.

    Why do you refuse our claim? You said you don't know how it started...lol...but somehow you know it is not by what our claim says how it all started?...lol

    All the more proof that you are confused and don't know what you are saying...lol

    No!...really!... did salty do those things?

    If he had God in his life he wouldn't do those sinful things.

    And he wouldn't create silly threads concerning  boogers and moving one's bowels.

    And he wants this thread to end...maybe he should think twice and end his threads.

    Good one...just testing if anyone would catch this not entirely true statement.

    Because we are all sinners and even people who believe in God do sin from time to time but there are some who have sinned in the past but because they are so devout they do not sin anymore. So with that said, let me retract the statement I made earlier and say it this way.

    For the first time ever we agree on something.  I do think people believing in god can help them lead better lives, it just may not be correct.  But if belief in god makes you a better person, then I'm all for it...

    SJD - just because you claim to know and I don't doesn't add any credibility to your claim

    And claiming I can't say god came from nothing because he is eternal is unfair because you have no evidence that god is eternal.

    Your questioning is like a forgery.

    You ask one question as to who created God or the supernatural, when we say a possible explanation is that God is eternal , you then say who have no evidence? Accept that is a plausable explanation and move on. You asked for possible explanation, not 100% proofs.....but you are putting the 2 in the same thing.....

    I accept that it is a plausible explanation. But it is unfair that you both refuse to accept that the universe or whatever it is that existed before the universe, or that which created the universe (not god) is eternal.

    What does one have to do with the other?  Regardless of whether or not a god exists, it does not affect the fact that i think it can help people lead better lives...

    Santa Claus does not exist, but wouldn't you say that for children, belief in him makes christmas better for them??

    That is my point.  Belief in god can help people live better lives, which is fine, but that doesnt mean theyre right...

    What you have been doing is saying, "well if the second law of thermodynamics and laws of relativity apply in this world, then they must apply in another realm or dimension...."

    That is flawed reasoning, we have no observation of another realm or dimension. My answer is not, the second law of thermodynamics or whatever does NOT apply in another realm because i dont have the evidence that this is the case, but rather it is a question which should be avoided because we dont know anything about another realm. Therefore, when i say, something cannot come from nothing in this world, it does not open a question frpm you about what caused God.......It is not a logical concluding question as you and many atheists try to make it out to be....
