So right off the bat you're making an assumption and treating it as completely true.
Quote:How it did it come into existence is simply a question with an answer. An answer we have the human desire to find out.Some of us do, some aren't concerned (such as yourself).
Quote:The universe cannot exist unquestionably. We must question everything. I think I have heard an answer that is logically justified.This is where you went completely off track.
Quote:The universe came from something.Assumption.
Quote:This thing was good, invisible, unchanging, and is not limited by time and space. It is also immensely powerful, if not all-powerful.Crazier assumption.
Quote:This theory is not unprecedented. A nomadic people in the Middle East said the same. Note that I did not attach anything else in the Bible to my claims. These people worshipped a thing that brought the universe into being. It was also good, did not change, and was eternally omnipotent.I'm going to pretend like this part did not happen, ok?
For that reason, I believe them to have been right.
The mistake you made, was to assume that you have thought of every possible scenario, and know everything about the physical nature of our universe.
You came up with an "explanation", that fits into your "current knowledge" of the universe and you think that must be it.
Let's assume for one moment that your "current knowledge" is actually completely correct. Even so, how can you know that you've thought of every possible scenario? Because multiple scenarios can be possible, but one would be correct. More importantly, how can you convince us that you've thought of every possible scenario? There exists millions of things yet to be imagined by the human mind. So this is a complete fail.
Not to mention that you've demonstrated you're not quite up to date with astronomy and physics so your "current knowledge" probably does not resemble reality.
