Re: Albino Gods
Hi ICANT,
But God and everything you see has always existed.
I can see how we could justify the latter - (everything we see has always existed) - using observable evidence and mathematics. I think we could all agree that the universe has always existed in some form; we are simply talking about matter being reduced to sub-atomic scales.
It could then be established as fact, for sake of delving deeper into theoretical phisics, that the universe has always existed in some form.
The former, however, -(God has always existed) - has no observable evidence to support it, neither for Gods existance nor his eternal characteristics. So how can God is eternal be stated as factual other than by applying faith in the God and his eternal existance?
I can see how the universe could be evidenced as being always existant, but how did God (1) Get shown to actually exist, and (2) How does he get the always existant characteristic flung on him?

Re: The cause of causality
Hi Bluejay,
For instance, how can there be a "beginning of time"
Time "begins" when space "begins" to make sense mathematically.
To the best of current technology, spacetime makes sense at above Plank scale. Smaller than that and our mathematics that explains the geometry of spacetime stops working properly.
So, if I'm correct with the above explanation, time would "begin" to make sense to us at above Plank scale.
Spacetime is supposed to be growing larger, right? Surely there has to be a "meta-dimension" through which it is growing, right?
As I understand it it's the observable universe that is expanding.
