People who can't see outside the bandwidth of their own little contrived universe of "whatever goes on in your head" can't find evidence of God or anything. The evidence is there, you just can't see it or you can't understand it. The ancients saw the so called evidence of god all around them...in the Sun, the Moon, Mountains, rivers, etc etc. We know better these days and have shown evidence that these things are simply applications of gravitational collapses, supernovas, abiogenesis, and evolution, and we can take those evidence backed solutions back to 10- 43 seconds after the BB. So you see science has logically and reasonably pushed any need for any god explanation back to near oblivion. Edited August 3, 2019 by beecee

Because the practioners of "science" aren't doing it. That is pretty much outside the scope of since. That is for philosophers and religions to argue about.

Because it's not reasonable to think that consciousness can emerge from molecular machines by accident or without planning. That is not reasonable. That is brainwashing. And how did this divine intelligence that just happened to create all we see come about? Isn't that unreasonable and brainwashing?

And a Holy Spirit with unlimited Intelligence that can figure out how to create a physical universe with entertaining life forms is a lower threshhold to reach, then a fine tuned physical universe in one shot. Atheists have already calculated that it would take 10^10^147 attempts get a universe with life by accident. Nature doesn't waste action or resources the way atheists require. You just have to use a little common sense to understand. It is not reasonable to not understand the argument. Which is more unlikely to exist. A. A fine tuned universe with complex lifeforms, by accident. Probablity by accident 1 in 10^10^147. B. A Holy Spirit with Infinite Intelligence that can design, plan, engineer, and then big bang a fine tuned universe with complex lifeforms, into existence?

The big bang model starts with the universe in a hot dense state. We don't know what happened before then. There are several models where the universe is infinitely old.

We cannot fully understand that probably our universe arose from a fluctuation in the quantum foam. But I prefer that scenario over some magical deity that has existed forever and ever amen.

No, actually, sometimes GOD shows up to meet atheists who are on death's door. So, there is zero evidence for foam, but their is testimony from millions of witnesses that God shows up, and sometimes Jesus. So, why are you trying to put a square peg in a round hole?

M-theory is not some funny idea someone thought of suddenly. It is the result of calculating nature. We don't know if those calculations represent reality, but they are a lot more valid than some ancient Hebrew texts.

Wulphstein Posted August 3, 2019 Author Posted August 3, 2019 (edited) I am frustrated by your complete determination and strong will to not use common sense, intelligence and reason.

The mind is a tricky thing, and that would apply particularly when someone is near death. Some people also believe they have been kidnapped by Aliens, believe in ghosts, even Bigfoot. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. We have no extraordinary evidence of Bigfoot, ghosts, Aliens or any magical deity that just happens to have ben here for eternity. Delusions, illusions and brainwashing plays a big part in what people believe in and what they imagine. Your god and your supposed afterlife may give you a nice cozy warm inner feeling, but that is all it is. No we have no direct evidence for any quantum foam, but we have plenty of evidence for the BB and the universe evolving from a hot dense state, and plenty of evidence for your own scientific ignorance. Again your god of the gaps is just that.
