Intelligent Design

[ApeNotKillApe]

So you think that the universe is eternal? I believe most scientist think that it had a beginning. This means that it must have been caused by something else. And exactly, the first cause must have been uncaused, which is outside of our experience. The difference between you and I is that you think the first cause was unintelligent and I think it was intelligent. I wasn't asserting anything in the last post, those were just some thoughts. I even said that I know that they weren't scientific ideas. I didn't say that this is 100% right, it was just a thought.

And the higher dimensional deity becomes comprehendable and personable when It interacts with our dimension. God has allegedly interacted (at least according to the Bible, which I know you don't care about) many times throughout history. This is when He becomes personable. Again these are just thoughts, so I don't want to see you respond telling me that I am asserting them to be true.

In the universe, there is cause and effect, each cause is the effect of a cause, this is time and space at work, which are functions of the universe. If the universe was caused by some other temporal-based agent "outside" of the universe, then the laws of cause and effect were somehow in place before the universe existed, the cause of the universe would have to be the effect of a previous cause, and that cause would also be an effect of a cause, the chain reaction of causality would trace backwards forever to no determinable starting point, which would mean that time and space are eternal, not infinite, which to my mind sort of breaks time and space, seeing as it makes time timeless and space spaceless. My friend, it is you who believes the universe is eternal.
