Good exists - a Catholic comments

[Mister Agenda]

My belief is that there was never absolutely nothing.  The Big Bang Theory postulates an expansion of time-space from an infinitesimal point of high density, and that's definitely a something; from the POV of the current universe, it's more like an everything.

If you claim that a god started it all, at some point you will have to answer the question "Where did this alleged creator-god come from?"  You can't just assert "It's eternal; it was always there."  Nope, not good enough.  It's absurd to claim that a powerful, immortal sentient being was just sitting there, minding Its own business for quadrillions of years and then decided one day to cobble together a universe for shits and giggles.  Much more reasonable to see matter/energy as something that was always there in some form or another.


A word of caution, Barry:  Don't tell other people what they think or believe.  You have no way of reading other peoples' minds.  Don't bear false witness against people you've never even met.

Hi Astreja, 
I don’t tell anyone what they think or believe. 
If matter or energy existed for ever, from infinity, how could we arrive at the present. The answer for me is a God who exists outside of time.
Yes, where did God come from is a good question. So is where did the Universe come from. Or where did the Big Bang come from etc etc. Neither of us can prove the answer, but the burden of proof is not just on me. 
Cheers Barry

When you assert that you have the answer, you necessarily accept the burden of proof. I know it's inconvenient, but no one forced you to do it. And again, you stated that you don't believe we don't believe in your very first post. Until you retract that, I can only conclude that you're lying when you say something like 'I don't tell anyone what they think or believe.'
