| Re: How can God not exist
To say the universe is an effect is viable; to say that the cause is not also an effect is not. Nothingness crosses that metaphysical boundry I mentioned. It is not of us, and we cannot concieve of it entirely, only fool ourselfs into thinking that we have. I cannot envision a circumstance where I do not exist, nor can I envision a circumstance where somthing which does exist does not, for all which does exist ultimately has an effect on all elee which exists. I further cannot envision any scenario where somthing which does not exist does for I can only imagine what does exist, I can mentally rearrange my impressions of reality to accomodate an approximation of somthing which is not the physical case(I say approximation because that is what a mental model is, it is physical in and of itself). |

| Re: How can God not exist I'm making a new thread to talk about such philosophical theorie's of nature made oppisite's(I'm just portraying a point of view of the existance that led's to the thought of such concept's, dosnt mean they are true or not true, I'm all neutral...)

Master Pangloss -- that is the best critique of the cosmological argument I've ever read. Thank you.

That isn't fair, lol. ![]() In Yes metaphysics of metaphysics is useless , but the loop is not an analogy, there just isn't a word for what I can describe; I mean, can't you understand what is meant by loop? What kind of cosmological argument would you rather discuss. How about olber's paradox.

| Re: How can God not exist
I do believe in God but I find using arguments like time is finite or there was a beginning therefore there must be a God to create that or there has to be a being eternal as well as using Infinite Regress to disprove God to be obsolete arguments because of one truth I have. The limitation of man is their inability to comprehend infinity or nothingness. Therefore I find using arguments involving incomprehensible tools obsolete.

| Re: How can God not exist And hence an argument for God's existence is, in the end, equivalent to the argument against it. The meaningfulness of both positive and negative assertions about God melt away in the face of an infinitude we can't comprehend.
