it simply describes the expansion of the unvierse
We see things in the world that vary in degrees of goodness, truth, nobility, etc. For example, well-drawn circles are better than poorly drawn ones, healthy animals are better than sick animals. Moreover, some substances are better than others, since living things are better than non-living things, and animals are better than plants, in testimony of which no one would choose to lose their senses for the sake of having the longevity of a tree. But judging something as being "more" or "less" implies some standard against which it is being judged. For example in a room full of people of varying heights, at least one must be tallest. Therefore, there is something which is best and most true, and most a being, etc. Aquinas then adds the premise: what is most in a genus is the cause of all else in that genus. From this he deduces that there exists some most-good being which causes goodness in all else, and this everyone understands to be God.
I find this to be
Very interesting
Personally
For something to happen you need means @Riley
we know it happened, but we dont know the means
I know lightning happens, but i don't know how
How do you know the big bang wasn't god? It seems like that makes more sense than it just happened
i don't know it wasnt god
i havent ruled that out
however
there isnt evidence for this
Build up of charged particles
@Riley light is observable the big bang is a claim made. I won't believe it just happened by itself
we don't know anything before the planck era
inb4 red shift
redshift does demonstrate an expansion of space, yes
and get this
hmmm
so the universe use to be very dense and hot
and uniform
and its currently expanding
...what if
Expansion implies an origin point, which is roughly the big bang theory
the universe use to be small
And that origin point expanded
yes...sort of
well...not really
picture a balloon with a bunch of dots on it
there is no central point of expansion
on the surface of the balloon
There is a point where all originated
A singularity
yes
@Riley so the universe expanded? How is that even counter to a creation myth?
well, it counters the 6 day nonsense
and the 6,000 year old universe shit
of course, i use other methods to counter that
