(November 8, 2013 at 2:34 am)Jesus is Lord Wrote: Anthropocentrism is not escapable. Athiests and theists alike view the world through filters. The criticism of anthropocentrism is like one fish calling another fish wet. The question is - how does a universe which all physicists would agree is deeply ordered, begin from nothing? If it did not begin from nothing, explain what preceeded it without invoking anything supernatural.
All physicists agree that the universe is ordered, do they? That's why we've got chaos theory, and the weirdness of quantum mechanics, right?

Quote:The Laws of the universe give us tremendous predictive capability, because the universe contains so much deep order. Other posts insist that there really is not that much order to the universe, but that is a fairly thin assertion. How did a Universe come from nothing? If not nothing - then what? Explain the rise of the Universe without implying a supernatural agent of some kind.
If we say we don't know how the universe began, why would that be evidence for your god? Let's not indulge in arguments from ignorance, shall we?
