If God made everything, then who (or what) made god?

If god is a hyperevolved organism, god would have to have had a beginning.


Already addressed this. I believe I said something along the lines that he started counting at the beginning of the Big Bang, or at the moment he finished his hyper-evolution and the Big Crunch happened.

It doesn't. There is a space between each crunch-bang where there is no time, that obviously doesn't last any time due to the fact there's no time during that part. The crunch doesn't go directly to the bang - it has to re-reach critical mass.


But inbetween the Big Crunch and the Big Bang, all that mass is gathered into a single point in the universe, and that is still mass, therefore there is time. For there to be no time between Big Crunches and Big Bangs, all mass would have to disappear. At least, I think that's the definition of time right? As long as their is something in the universe that exists, there is time.

I have found the answer. Behold!

You have no right claiming something is true when no one has evidence that it is


Nurvana:

This line of reasoning works perfectly with the Bible - especially the 'supernatural' parts.

Apologies for the double post - but just to be clear:

It's quite the thing to accuse people of flat out lying in a debate -

Yeah, or rafterman lied to make his case more believable.


why can't I speculate that you're lying?


Where is your evidence that you are not lying?


When, in reality, the entire religious standpoint could very well be one giant lie, with no evidence to the contrary.

He was their all along. It's something humans will never understand.


Then tell me, how did you come to that conclusion? And if we cannot understand, how can you assume that he was there all along?

The fact that there is even a Bible is about proof enough.

Write a Bible-sized book about him lying, then get a million people to believe an devote their life to it; then we'll talk.

I don't think you understand the nature of the singularity. All of the mass is compressed *infinitely* and yes, time exists, but it does not extend outside of the singularity and as such doesn't affect it. It isn't acting on the singularity, it's containing inside it.

Right, and Harry Potter proves that magic is real.

So your only quandary with the validity of any idea is how many people 'believe' it's true?

That's a seriously substandard measuring stick.

As for providing one - I don't really have to. There's plenty of other 'holy' religious texts for you to fight with already. Aren't their books 'roof' that they're right?

Yeah, except billions of people didn't decide that Harry Potter made magic real.

It seemed that was all I needed to say to counter your comment. As for other "religious books" I couldn't care less; I don't believe in God, just intelligent design.

Billions of people can't make a book real.

You could not care less about the other just as likely to be true books? Have you ever called an atheist close minded...
So, you believe humans were created by God, but you don't believe he exists, therefore he could not create us and we do not exist.

Yes, but something could make them believe it's real

All right, I'm going to take this slow, just for you; I believe in intelligent design, not God. I believe something God-like made earth, not some random, inexplainable explosion, crunch, whatever.

I hate to flame, but you have to be one of the worst debaters I've ever rubbed shoulders with. I'm not even going to bother discussing with you further. It's just... sad.

Belief does not equal fact.
People used to believe earthquakes were caused by underground earthquakes, but it was not true.

Um, no. That reasoning sucks(sorry for me being harsh there, but it really does).

If that was correct, the Big Bang would have to be correct because there are veritable Bibles written about it.

Really, that's like saying that if someone claims something is real, the fact that he made the claim is proof enough.

Lolol.

Or he could take the Joe Wilson route, take a piece of paper saying 'MageGrayWolf' on it, and record himself shouting 'YOU LIE!' at the piece of paper and make it a viral vid.

Um, what? The Big Crunch causes time to reverse, and evolution doesn't carry over through different Universes. He would continue to evolve over the course of the Universe, then never reach God status until the Big Crunch.

Aren't their books 'roof' that they're right?

Well, If those bibles of the big bang are good at proving it, then yes, they could work like that. Yea, kinda like when you claimed you were telling the truth, mister!

Nitpicker. I'll make it simple. Intelligent Design for me, not Evolution.
