Assume God has always existed and the universe has existed only finitely. I will prove God didn't create the universe.

Assume the opposite, that God created the universe. Since the universe has existed for a finite time, and God for an infinite time, he must have waited an infinite time, but you will never finish waiting an infinite time, therefore he never created it, therefore the universe doesn't exist, but it does; a contradiction.

Therefore fedoras are #1.

But God can finish waiting a finite time. He cam do anything.

Can God create a rick so heavy he can't lift it?

>>325608
can he stop himself from doing something?
>>
>>325612
Yes but he both can and cannot lift it. It's in a superposition of liftable and unliftable states like a quantum particle.

>>325618
Yes

I've already proved he cam will himself out of nonexistence on this board. There's no way to say for sure that He isn't real.


God bless you all

1. The creation of the world is the most marvellous achievement imaginable.

2. The merit of an achievement is the product of (a) its intrinsic quality, and (b) the ability of its creator.

3. The greater the disability or handicap of the creator, the more impressive the achievement.

4. The most formidable handicap for a creator would be non-existence.

5. Therefore, if we suppose that the universe is the product of an existent creator, we can conceive a greater being—namely, one who created everything while not existing.

6. An existing God, therefore, would not be a being than which a greater cannot be conceived, because an even more formidable and incredible creator would be a God which did not exist.

7. (Hence) God does not exist.

Funny how this man makes the best arguments for morality and purpose being meaningless.

So quantum is a joke until you need to use it?

I've never said qm I'd a joke. It's a way of understanding the world that our Lord created.

>4. The most formidable handicap for a creator would be non-existence.
Why? Presumably before anything exists/is created there is non-existence. Non-existence isn't a handicap, but a precondition for existence further down the line. This part of your argument doesn't follow.

The simple science of how to return Home.

God has a big plan. His plan is to somehow or other bring all His fallen sons and daughters back home, back to Godhead. We are suffering here in the material world due to our rebellious attitude. We want to enjoy separately from God. But God is so merciful that He comes Himself and sends His representatives also to help us. God is willing to help anyone come to Him if that living entity desires it. He, however, has given us a certain amount of free will.

The Holy Spirit sits in the Heart, and also reveals itself through objects and interactions and, of course, through the soul.

All beings dumbed down by material nature believe the impermanent physical world to be the absolute. This is the present day of deception in a world that attempts to seperate itself from God to embrace their other motives.

So essentially the soul is with God's Supersoul, which all souls are a part of.

The other problem with this argument is that it can apply to anything, not just God. And when it does it becomes the opposite argument. Take #4 in the case of a novelist, instead of God. "The most formidable handicap for a creator would be non-existence." For the novelist, his novel doesn't exist until he's started writing it. The novelist has, in one deft motion, bridged your "most formidable handicap" by pulling a phenomenon from non-existence into existence. Therefore, it is still "better" to exist than not to exist, because the quality of existing implies that the existent object has 'overcome' the "formidable handicap" of not-yet-existing.

Emptiness is form, form is emptiness.

Even if it is void, it is not void because there is no void.

There is no difficulty.

But time is God's creation, anon. Besides, even if it wasn't, you can still interrupt infinity. Say, pick some integer, like 5. There is an infinite sequence of integers preceding it.

If you die, it is impossible to see any colors, even black... So you go somewhere when you die.

Infinite time is an oxymoron. It is a dimension. You either exist inside time and are affected by time effects or outside time and are not affected by time effects. You've only proven how quick you're to jump to checkmate-tier shitposting after babby's first eureka moment.
