You guys honestly believe that all these laws and time, and everything associated could've just popped out of nothing?
Or that time didn't exist, and material existence was timeless, then all of sudden creates time and motion and all the laws that come with time?
And not only does it pop out of nothing, but that it continues to exist on and on and on - on it's own?
Minuscule existence all independent just existing on and on independently out of coming from nothing?
Yes, of course I think that's likely. After all, I have no evidence to the contrary. We exist because the universe we live in is such that it allows our existence. Otherwise, we couldn't even contemplate the wonders of our world.
I find it likely that the universe began to exist from some type of matter or energy that is yet undiscovered, as that is infinitely more plausible than a creator God.
My conclusion is that there is no reason to believe any of the dogmas of traditional theology and, further, that there is no reason to wish that they were true.
Man, in so far as he is not subject to natural forces, is free to work out his own destiny. The responsibility is his, and so is the opportunity.
