Something that serves as proof.



Meaning what? What’s your definition of proof? Do you consider circumstantial evidence or only physical evidence to be evidence of any given circumstance or scenario?

Just as the concept of there being an afterlife is beyond you or others’ ability to explain at the time.

Okay cool. Let’s continue from there. Do you think it’s at least plausible that our finely tuned and perishable universe was created?

I didn't say there wasnt an afterlife. Just that dreams about a deceased son and Jesus is not evidence of it. That's all.

People have credited deities for things they don’t understand for millennia. Thunder, lightning, mental disorders, total eclipses, etc. Science has discarded many things that were once ignorantly attributed to deities. In all likelihood, anything we don’t know today will be answered tomorrow - or may just be unanswerable for us. And that’s okay. It really is. The history of science has shown us that supernatural speculation is a poor approach.


This is a misrepresentation of the creationism approach.

There doesn’t have to be a particular reason or purpose beyond organizational forces such as gravity.



But there does have to be a means to how nothingness with no gravity became something with gravity. That’s the point. How did we get gravity?

no there doesn't. if a creator is required, who/what created the creator? if nothing, than the creator came from nothing. if so, why cant gravity come from nothing? if the creator had no beginning and always was, why not gravity?

The universe is not eternal, it had a beginning. If the universe had a beginning, that means something had to start it. That something has to be immaterial, timeless, and spaceless because none of time, space nor matter existed before existence. This means that whatever force kick started the universe was not created but is eternal.


Gravity is a property of our universe meaning it exists inside our universe similar to how time exists in our universe. Gravity is not eternal therefore it must have been created. If gravity were eternal, what did it act upon, where did it act upon it and when did it act upon it before time, space and matter existed?

we dont know that. we do know that in its current iteration, it appears to have have a single point of origin. we do not in any way know what happened before that
quote:

again, we dont know that, and you'll need to define "existence"

of course...it is observable and defineable. that does not mean it cannot be eternal
quote:

see above...we dont know that

who/what created the creator? why is it not so much simpler to say that we dont know the answer to these things, we may never know, and not speak with certainty about them until we do know?

Not really. It still boils down to I don’t understand it thus it must have been a deity

No, it’s not.

Gravity is indentations in spacetime created by objects with mass.

I believe the DMT that’s released in our brains when we die pushes us into whatever future consciousness we believe we are going to. Science.

God created everything upon his decision. No magic booms in the sky. No chance meeting between a rock and galaxy dust. Nope. God is sovereign.

there were no booms
God created all things. He didn't leave anything to chance.

we estimate that close to 99% of all species that have ever lived on this planet are now extinct. 65 million years ago, an impact event from either a comet nucleus or meteor caused a global extinction event of almost 75% of known extant species on earth. approximately 250 million years ago, the permian extinction event, caused by massive vulcanism, killed off 90% of all species alive at the time. we observe the evidence for these in the fossil record.

none of that was by chance? god directed mass murder on his beloved planet? over and over again?
