it proves that everything is moving away from eachother, and therefore must have been closer
You didn't listen to a thing I just said.
Imagine your mind is like an operating system. Well, Addie, you were given a very faulty one. Sorry.
how old do you think the universe is?
Besides, how do you explain such things as information theory, where we have information coded within our DNA? @Riley
From everything we understand about information, it is impossible for this to originate without Mind.
wait answer my question first
how old do you think the universe is
No, because you are trying to build a strawman argument, even though I have not outwardly declared myself a creationist.
im not making an argument
im asking a question
I simply said that creationism is not how you perceive it. It's not a bunch of atheists and Protestants debating whether the world is 6000 years old.
It refers to the origin of man, which is 'creation ex nihilo'.
ok i got that
i already know
That is what makes Christianity distinct from say Platonism/Hinduism.
As Hinduism believes that the world is formed out of pre-existing matter.
can you demonstrate that a God created the universe or man?
Hence the doctrine of reincarnation of the transmigration of souls.
How can man create the universe?
Man is a finite, fallible being. I think that makes it potently obvious that man is a created being, and everything that has a beginning, must have an end.
ok prove it
Prove what?
that man was created by a God lmfao
That everything that has a beginning must have an end?
Do you believe in higher degrees of reality?
Do you believe in essences/ideals?
what do you mean by higher degrees of reality
4 dimensions, 5th dimensions etc..
well thats what string theory predicts
though it hasnt really been confirmed yet
as far as i know
Phhh, you cannot escape speculative theories, can you?
Do numbers exist?
thats not very relevant lmao
It is relevant.
Because this is outside of the material realm.
numbers simply quantify the material realm
This is to presuppose that there is a world outside of our own, a more 'real' world I suppose.
