Do to really believe a snake talked?!

[John V]

"I know he's not married because he's a bachelor" doesn't explain why he's not married or why he's a bachelor (and if I actually claimed that it did explain that, by the way, that wouldn't be the circular reasoning fallacy that would be the question begging fallacy), but it does mean that if he's a bachelor he's not married because they're the same thing.

All I'm saying is that to say that existence ever didn't exist is logically nonsensical. It's true by definition that existence is never non-existent. Just as it's true by definition that bachelors are never married.

Enough said.

SINGULARITY:

It's interesting that when atheists are having a hard time with an argument they tend to post funny pictures.

To put it simply, a singularity is a single point (dimensionless, no width, height, length nor time span) in space where the known laws of physics break down and aren't applicable.
At the moment, any speculation can be put into a singularity, even god, and all we can say about it is: we don't know... maybe that speculative hypothesis is right, maybe not.

Out of the astonishing number of different possible hypotheses, god is but one. The odds of finding god in there are then miniscule.

I haven't seen an astonishing number of hypotheses. I've only seen a few, and others I can consider can be put into a few categories for discussion.

This is not something I believe in, it's just what it is.

So far it's just something you believe in. You certainly haven't astonished me with alternative hypotheses. You put forth a handful, if that. One was incorrect by definition of singularity. One - the "brooding" singularity - was somewhat godlike.

Note also that I'm not dismissing the possibility of a natural explanation. A cyclic universe could allow for an eternal universe and account for the apparent beginning that we currently see. But so far, no cyclic models have worked. Considering this, I'm a little confused by the continuing arguments.

All horses are equally unlikely to win, but you just put all your money on that one.
Does this behavior make sense? not to me...

To me it does. Go figure.
