The universe existing as a byproduct of God?
#67
RE: The universe existing as a byproduct of God?
Once you remove the need for evidence any idea, no matter how insane, becomes equally as valid because there's nothing to validate one belief over another.

For example, you can say a circle has no sides and infinite sides, making it a contradictory. There's no proof for this and posting a picture of a circle will get you nowhere.

But, if we accept the circle has infinite sides, then who's to say the sides of all the other shapes don't fit into this new found infinity and therefore every shape is a circle, or the circle is within the shape, thus changing everything we now know about shapes forever.

Without the need for evidence that holds up under scrutiny what I just pulled out of my ass is every bit as valid as God. And if God is more valid because more people believe or there were books written about it, then all that remains for the circle to be equally valid is to make a bunch of people believe it and write a bunch of books about it, which they likely would've been far more willing to believe if someone came up with this back in the Iron Age and did just that.

Do you see the problem?
