Failure condition for god
#91
RE: Failure condition for god
I mean there is no contradiction in imagining a different universe existing in place of the one we've got. I don't buy into the the contingency argument for theism, because an universe of some sort would have to exist no matter what, whether a universe comprised of only one object. In other words, existing can't fall to exist. I honestly don't see why a mind would be necessary at all. We have local cases of things being contingent on things that are not minds. This is a similar point to what I told you about teleological arguments putting the cart before the horse.
It is very important not to mistake hemlock for parsley, but to believe or not believe in God is not important at all. - Denis Diderot

We are the United States of Amnesia, we learn nothing because we remember nothing. - Gore Vidal
