Existence and Infinity (Warning: major rambling)
#9
RE: Existence and Infinity (Warning: major rambling)
This is the point where I think atheism and theism is in complete conflict. If God exists, by its very nature it is outside of everything. It is not governed by the laws of nature as we know them, because it created those laws. God, if it were real, is the only thing capable of acting outside of those laws. There doesn't need to be another God, because before God created the universe(s) there was nothing physical and no laws to govern such things. The Gods of man are flawed. I don't need to present all the arguments as to why, I'm sure you have heard them. However, a God that only created because it could, has no obligation to its creations. Nor does it have any responsibility to create perfectly. It's so simple in its complexity.

The problem is, we want an explanation, whereas theists are happy to accept that God is outside of natural laws. Now, consider what we are asking here. We are looking for the zero point of creation. Given what we know of psychics, we are nowhere near finding it at this point. How far do we have to regress before we get to the starting point? If such a thing exists. So, in my opinion, I embraced the deistic belief that I outlined in the above paragraph because I know I will die without ever finding the answers to my questions. Why, what, where, when and how.

I can't actually take part in this thread anymore. Fuck you, Napo; now I'm not going to sleep the whole night, just thinking about this shit.
