You seem to believe that it definitely doesn't exist. So you have ruled out that possibility as the origin of everything. Completely ruling it out as an option is not just a simple "I have no idea how things happened." You have enough of an idea to at least know it wasn't that.
No, CL. I accept that it is possible there is a creator, because I don't fucking know. I accept anything as possible. But I can rule things as improbable.
We don't have evidence of disembodied minds. A creator cannot be immune to infinite regress. Thus I say, it most probably was not a creator. But I don't know how it happened. I don't know it didn't happen like you say it did. All I'm saying is, I doubt that it is. It's an opinion on your particular theory, not the thing you have a theory for.

At least I am just telling you what I believe, I'm not sitting here bashing you over the head in every post telling you that you're wrong, like you're doing to me. (which is fine, btw, I'm just saying)
Um. No I'm not. Point me, quote to me the exact post where I said 'you're wrong'. I'm not bashing you.
The reason you feel that I do is because I don't find your god plausible. And your god is really just you. That's why he agrees with everything you think and knows how you feel. Because it's just you. So when I criticize your god, you feel like I'm criticizing you. It's not true. But that's why you get all defensive.
Quote:What is that term?
It means that your creator requires a cause too. Who designed the designer?
