I Know That God Does Not Exist

Sure I do. You yourself consider every concept of God that's different from yours to be fictional. I'm just going one fiction farther than you. He talked/talks to me as much as He talks to you. Nonsense. You have no rational for picking one myth over another. You don't even know anything about most of them. Don't be silly. Every philosopher who ever lived didn't agree with each other or with you. Your attempt at appeal to authority and/or popularity won't work. There is no "answer that I want". More questions hopefully lead to more understanding. I don't want to stop learning when I have "the answer" like you. "The singularity" is not a thing or a place. It's the condition of the mathematics breaking down. That's an empty claim. It's just an excuse, an attempt to make a distinction between "the chemicals must have come from somewhere" and " God had to come from somewhere". Fiction is not necessarily illogical. God and Long John Silver are both fictional but neither is necessarily illogical.

Why would you assume that based on what I said?I said, 'There is no "answer that I want".' How does that suggest that I have an answer? At the present time, there is no way to know anything about T=0. T=0 is not even a concept.

That doesn't make a bit of sense. If there is no answer that I want, that means I don't have a preferred answer. No.T=0 is a position on the time line. It is not a quantity of time.We can not "see" all the way to T=0 or beyond it.

As I said, we can not "see" as far back in time as T=0, so you have no bssis for claiming that time "didn't exist". There is no way of knowing anything about T=0.

We can not know ANYTHING about T=0. There is no math that can tell us about T=0. T=0 can not "represent" ANYTHING."Time does not exist" is a nonsense statement.

I doubt that you will magically understand all of the mysteries of physics after you die.Edited by ringo, : Pselling.

Do you read my posts at all? I said, "I doubt that you will magically understand all of the mysteries of physics after you die."What part of after you die did you miss? I was responding to your claim that, "It might make more sense after we die." That's your own phrase, "after we die."It has nothing, nothing, nothing to do with what we will learn, "no matter how long our species collectively lives."

That certainly is an empty claim, so why do you waste time with it? You mock evidence. Shame on you. Remember the story of Thomas. Jesus offered him evidence. He didn't expect Thomas or the other disciples to believe without evidence. Human wisdom is all we've got. You have nothing but human wisdom to tell you anything about God. Human wisdom is the ultimate backup.

Sure it was. It was human (apologist) wisdom that told you you needed to be saved and how you could ne saved. Yes. You surely use it for the first. You should try using it for the second I never said it was reliable. I said it was all we have. And it's certainly more reliable than gods. And sometimes that confusion is created deliberately - e.g by the apologists.

"Existence" is not a thing. Non-existence is not a thing.T=0 is a point in time. It is not a quantity of time. You can not compare time to apples.

Non sequitur. I couldn't care less what you accept. You have it backwards. The only evidence we have is scientific. There are lots of "holy" books that are every bit as reliable as the Bible and they all disagree so they're not evidence. Since there are scientific errors on page one, it is not a reliable book.

You start at a point on the time line and you move forward. You can not remove time like you can remove apples. You can not get back to "no time".

You compared time to apples and you talked about removing apples until you had zero apples. Clearly that does not work with time. And you were wrong.

The Book of the Dead, the Epic of Gilgamesh, the Iliad and Odyssey, the Tao Te Ching, the Edda, the Vedas, the Upanishads, the Tantras, the Qur'an, the Talmud, the Midrash, the Zohar, the Book of Mormon, Dianetics... and those are only the ones I've heard of. Chapter one, verse two has water before light, verse two has light before sun and moon; verse eleven has plants before sun and moon.... You know as little about translation as you do about science, so your opinions on the matter aren't worth much.

We don't "have" time like we "have" apples.
