2. It is possible God exists.
3. Therefore God has happened.

Re: Proof God is real
Premise one is fundamentally flawed. You cannot assume that everything possible has happened - nor can you assume it to be possible for God to exist. It is also a little silly to think the universe must have had a beggining. we don't know that - nor should we assume it must have been triggered by something "outside of time"Fluminator wrote: ↑Tue Oct 18, 2022 11:15 pm1.

If the probability is more than 0, and you give an infinite amount of time for it to happen, it will happen. Maybe not on this planet earth, but there will be another planet earth exactly like this but one where I did ur mum.French_boi wrote: ↑Wed Oct 19, 2022 2:56 amPremise one is fundamentally flawed.

I don't assume the universe had a beginning. I give both possibilities. It either has a beginning or it is infinite. Both premises are accounted for.
If I can imagine a God existing, it's possible.

Re: Proof God is real
There are a few problems with that. The first is that if you assume a finite number of universes, typically 1, then it falls down. God needs to exist at the beginning to qualify as God, so even if the universe lasts forever there's just the single event at which God has to be. No amount of imagining after the event can put him back.Fluminator wrote: ↑Wed Oct 19, 2022 4:27 amIf the probability is more than 0, and you give an infinite amount of time for it to happen, it will happen.

That problem disappears if you assume an infinite number of universes, of course. Then you can try the imagining God trick to your heart's content. The trouble is, of course, you can also imagine a universe pretty much identical in which God doesn't exist, which leads to the inescapable conclusion that there may well be a God, but He's utterly pointless in the grand scheme of things.

Re: Proof God is real
1. You haven't defined God.
2. An infinite set of even numbers doesn't include a 7.
3. If you can imagine God into existence then I can imagine him out of existence. It's a wash.
4. You syllogism is ridiculous.

Re: Proof God is real
re paragraph 1, I see your point, but if anything can eventually break the time barrier, it doesn't matter at what point it escapes. It fundamentally exists unchanging at all periods of time. So something outside of time at the beginning could have originated in the middle of the timeline.Octavious wrote: ↑Wed Oct 19, 2022 12:50 pmThere are a few problems with that.

(I personally don't even believe the universe is infinite though, I go the other way)
re paragraph 2, I can't imagine a universe without God. Everything breaks down if the universe created itself or always existed in a temporal bubble. (And anything outside of time is eternal and basically God)
Lol, well it's in the definition. My definition of the universe is literally everything. So technically God would be a part of the universe and it's essentially the universe creating itself. But it only makes sense to me if God is atemporal or infinity gets funky.
Can you prove it's impossible for God to exist?
1. God would be an atemporal all-powerful thing. It would have to be a conscious entity to make it a God in a sense that's generally seen as a God.KalelChase wrote: ↑Wed Oct 19, 2022 7:16 pm1. You haven't defined God.

2. It looks like a lot of people are going to the argument God can't hypothetically exist. Is there a proof for this I'm unaware of?
3. That's just proof it's possible for a world to exist without God. You're making the claim it's impossible for God to exist.
4. I will adjust it based on feedback once I learn more.

Re: Proof God is real
If you don't think it is possible for the Universe to have either created itself somehow, or always have existed, then why do you believe that God has one or both of those properties?Fluminator wrote: ↑Wed Oct 19, 2022 10:19 pmI can't imagine a universe without God.

That is, you seem to believe that God exists without having been created, and/or that God has always existed.
Why is it possible for God to exist without being created, yet impossible for the universe to exist without being created?

I could have a go, but I do not feel under any obligation to engage in that game with you. The burden of proof in this discussion lies in the person making the claim that God exists, not those suggesting they do not believe this wild claim.
As Bertrand Russell said:
"Many orthodox people speak as though it were the business of sceptics to disprove received dogmas rather than of dogmatists to prove them. This is, of course, a mistake. If I were to suggest that between the Earth and Mars there is a china teapot revolving about the sun in an elliptical orbit, nobody would be able to disprove my assertion provided I were careful to add that the teapot is too small to be revealed even by our most powerful telescopes. But if I were to go on to say that, since my assertion cannot be disproved, it is intolerable presumption on the part of human reason to doubt it, I should rightly be thought to be talking nonsense."

Re: Proof God is real
By most definitions, I do consider God a part of the universe, so yes I do believe the universe created itself in that way. It's just that it has to be an atemporal force that existed for anything to make sense. But if definitionally it's better I say an atemporal aspect of the universe created the spacetime, I can work with that.Jamiet99uk wrote: ↑Wed Oct 19, 2022 10:51 pmI could have a go, but I do not feel under any obligation to engage in that game with you.

I'm not asking you to disprove God. I'm asking you to prove that God is impossible. That's a very different thing and you are making a pretty radical claim.

- Asking somebody to disprove your God is the exact same thing as asking somebody to to prove that your God is impossible.
- The concepts of time and infinity have no relevance to the proof laid out in that YouTube video. Whether your God is atemporal or not doesn't help you make sense out of anything.

Re: Proof God is real
A claim that we know will forever be unfalsifiable is highly suspect since the claim was presumably designed to be unfalsifiable, and in any case a claim that will eternally be impossible to investigate cannot meaningfully be debated.Bonatogether wrote: ↑Thu Oct 20, 2022 1:26 amif your claim is unfalsifiable, it does not meet the standard of evidence to be used in any rigorous setting, but that doesn't mean it is actually false
