It seems useless to show in the science one possible explanation that allows for some entity to be infinite in time when no one can show in the science that such an entity exists or could exist.

Seems to me that since the existence of some creator is born of the magic of faith it is disingenuous to try to usurp science into explaining any of its attributes.

But I do applaud your creativity.

Re: The question of eternal existence.

Beyond faith the question of who created the creator is essentially a question that can best be addressed by science.

If your best science cannot address the very existence of such a thing then how can any science address any of its attributes?

But, I see my error. If the opening axiom is "it exists" then I'm in the wrong thread and will try to gracefully bow out without further stepping on my dick.

It's an abusive attitude, aimed against an ancient tradition that used to be treated with respect even by Krazy atheists. No longer.

The "no longer" is because you can't burn us at the stake anymore.

So why, after reading about all these other gods, did I dismiss them as fables and accept the Bible as the truth?

Re: The Evidence Is The Believers Themselves

but the Fall is why there is death, disease and suffering in this world.

There is death, disease and suffering in this world because of entropy. Everything changes. Everything dies. All quite natural. All quite normal.

Unfortunately this 6th mass extinction is our own doing and may very well claim us as casualties.

Compared to nature your god is a teddy bear. An ugly mean, bloodthirsty teddy bear. But Ma Nature is the absolute most bad ass killer of all time. Nothing survives her embrace. Not even gods.

Re: The Evidence Is The Believers Themselves

Entropy is one of the results of the Fall.

Of course it is. So are republicans and christians.

If this were taken into account it might be possible to mitigate its effects

Mitigate the effects of entropy? You do know entropy is the flow of energy, its temporary concentration and its inevitable dispersion, right? Good luck with that.

Re: The Evidence Is The Believers Themselves

I like my eggs over easy but I'm having difficulty finding a spatula big enough to turn this beast.

The certainty is incomprehensible.

Which means there is no certainty.

Re: The Evidence Is The Believers Themselves

You would be wrong there. A prolonged and comprehensive absence of evidence is pretty hard evidence itself. Remember that in science a null result is evidence.

Re: The Evidence Is The Believers Themselves

You do know that Christianity is a minority religious cult, right? More than half the population of this planet, billions of your fellow human beings, think your cult is a poisonous and evil creed standing against the light and power of (insert other god here).

According to your "popularity" view they are not wrong.

Re: The Evidence Is The Believers Themselves

Christianity is an evil plot by the Illiteratii to subjugate all mankind. It is a bloodthirsty cult of ignorance, violence, hate and pain. Anyone who thinks christianity is truth is a spawn of evil worthy of your fictitious Satan.

Re: The Evidence Is The Believers Themselves

Many times.

It is not just the evil and bloodshed portrayed in your gospel. More it is the evil and bloodshed you christian practitioners plague upon the species.

Your gospel is full of oppression, repression, murder, slaughter and war against innocents. The larger problem is your adherents seek to visit the same on the whole of the population of this planet.

Christian is evil.
