An unorthodox belief in God.
RE: An unorthodox belief in God.
Mick,

are you here for reasonable debate? Or to post unevidenced assertions and declare yourself the winner on every subject?

I have to say, frankly, what you're posting has been posted a million times before and debunked in equal measure. Using fallicious (and demonstrably false) logic does not win you any debating kudos anywhere, except maybe on theist sites.

When are you going to start?
I don't think he will, considering every counter point we mention he ignores and moves on to another unrelated point.

This sounds an awful lot like someone else we had here recently.... Thinking
Of course, it could be the usage of the same ideas/tactics that just gets repetitive. Smile

Anyway one is in psalms 104:1-2 it says god clothed himself with honour and majesty, and gave himself light, or covered himself; which means he created those parts of himself. If he already had it before, what need would he have to give it to himself again? So this scripture, and others like it reveal that god actually created parts of himself.

And I am giving the evidence that I have as I go; that's all I can do. If others don't view it as evidence, what can I do?



What selected physics and chemistry? To avoid infinite regression I say God began it all.


Why are you wasting your time reading what I have to say if I am of no importance?

Infinite regression is a philosophical non-issue.

Name one problem caused by potential infinite regression that is not philosophically or epistemically solvable.

Even assuming an infinite chain of events up until this point, nothing would change.

In fact, the chain of events from before the beginning of time to modern day is, by definition, infinite.

Entropy, the deterioration of matter.

I am not trying to win, I am trying to explain. I like debating, but again, if you don't like my style, what can I do? I have declared myself a winner of nothing. Are you suggesting that I leave, because my debate is so fallacious?

Yes, because he doesn't actually have a response.

All he has is the 'Gish Gallup'.

Nothing more to see here, move along...

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

This only applies if you assume matter and time existed prior to space time, which we have no reason to, and misunderstand the second law of thermodynamics, and the law of conservation.
