The cosmic timeline began 13.77 billions ago along with matter, space and energy. The beginning must start with a non-physical entity. If there's no god, there would be the absence of anything (the word 'nothing' has many meanings; like "What are you up to"?...nothing). Categorical fallacy to superimpose the natural realm's requirement for beginning's to the supernatural that wouldn't require a beginning; aka, the biblical God is transcendental to time, not control nor confined by it. That's why it was written 'a thousands years is like one day and one day is like a thousand years'. You should of known this by now...but now you do, so that's okay.(March 31, 2016 at 1:16 pm)snowtracks Wrote: A better explanation would be a 'god-like being' (who this being is at this point is not being considered) since the 'vicious infinite regress' would cease; theories that make an appeal to infinity breakdown into oblivion.
Wrong! It is the existence of your god that mandates infinite regress, ergo, it cannot exist.
Atheist Credo: A universe by chance that also just happened to admit the observer by chance.
