Simple Question: if you do not believe in God, why don't you? | |
| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 77027273  United States06/08/2019 03:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You can replace "god" in your question with any other myth: Quoting: MaybeTrollingUAgain If you don't believe in Santa Claus, why don't you? If you don't believe in the easter bunny, why don't you? God is in the same level as any other myth I just knew someone was going to bring up Santa Claus aka Nicholas of Bari who was a very real person unlike the easter bunny that was a creation of candy companies... Yes I do believe in Santa Claus but not like you do... I rest my case then. How to argue in logical, sense with someone whom believes Santa Claus?!?! I don't believe in the Coca Cola Santa Claus.... I believe in Saint Nicholas of Bari, a very real person... |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77315642 Where did the energy come from? You simply cannot bring into existence which does not exist. It's a zero sum problem, that does not equate once you interject something from nothing. In the big bang theory everything comes from nothing... The bible says that God Created everything out of nothing... so the big bang theory proves that God created everything from nothing. Incorrect, the Universe expanded out of a singularity, which is not nothing No, the singularity manifold, flat, balled, with infinite density still consists of matter, ie energy. Where did it come from? The theories that are postulated ignore this for the equation to balance. You simply cannot. Ask any Quant theorist and they will admit it. I work in a lab with these guys all day, for the mathematics to work you have to have "faith", no different than God in my opinion. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77315642 Where did the energy come from? You simply cannot bring into existence which does not exist. It's a zero sum problem, that does not equate once you interject something from nothing. The Big Bang did not come from nothing, it came from a singularly, which is definitely not nothing. Actually you mean a singularity... The initial singularity was a gravitational singularity of seemingly infinite density thought to have contained all the mass and space-time of the Universe before quantum fluctuations caused it to rapidly expand in the Big Bang and subsequent inflation, creating the present-day Universe. The instant immediately following the initial singularity is part of the Planck epoch, the earliest period of time in the history of the universe. Simple question: what created the initial singularity in the beginning of time itself? Yeah, my auto-fill didn’t want to use Singularity. There are many possible causes of the Singularity: it’s the white hole output of some black hole. It’s the result of a previous universes gravitational collapse. It’s the result of the collision of two other universes. Who knows. But just because we don’t know yet, doesn’t mean God. That is called “The God of the gaps” .

I don't believe or disbelieve in God but I don't hate you for believing. For me I have listened to The Bible up to Psalms. I find it interesting. I need to listen to the rest of it. I have a hard time believing though because of all the bad stuff I see. Take my Grandma for example. She believed in God and now she has alzheimer's. She can't even wipe herself properly. Or take my mother...she has always been abusive. I have asked God to change her but she is still the same. I also find it odd how people thank God...God didn't destroy my house in that tornado. However little Ms Betty house down the street is fucked...I guess she didn't pray hard enough. Ain't no sunshine when she's gone...ain't no borderline psychotic emotional outbursts either. Some days you just have to create your own sunshine. |
