You are building "God" on the same infinite stack of Legos |

Nope, He is the table on which all the legos stand. God is not another lego but is something very different but necessary for the stack of legos to stand. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

No god believer can prove their gods existence, it's unfair to ask them to do so. They get very upset and run around squawking nonsense to themselves. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Are you seriously asking me to prove that a stack of legos need some surface to stand upon? “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

| Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25011 | I'm really enjoying the seminary book. It's called Holy Trinity and was in AL. They're gone now, I believe. The author says they had a few weeks at home in summer, but were not allowed to go home at Xmas or Easter. They opened and read all the students mail, and their outgoing mail, and discarded what they deemed improper. And never told the students. I asked my former priest friend who was in the system at that time and he said they always threatened to read their mail, but he believes they never did. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Agreed. The universe did not always exist. If it always existed, then time would be infinite. Time cannot be infinite. If time is infinite, then at any point in time, an infinite number of events will have occurred. Energy cannot be created or destroyed. That is the First Law of Thermodynamics. Everything that exists in the universe is a form of energy. Energy can only be transferred or transformed. All energy, which includes mass, is in the process of being irreversibly converted into heat energy. That is the Second Law of Thermodynamics. If the universe always existed, then all forms of energy in the universe would have been irreversibly converted into heat energy by now, and nothing else would exist. Only something not subject to the laws of the physical universe could have created the physical universe. |

That is not license to provide an explanation that violates the laws of the physical universe and claim it as a fact C. There is nothing that links something not subject to the laws of the physical universe to any "god" past or present that humans may or may not have believed in "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts."
