the existence of god is still recursive, what created god? i could say that same process created our universe

2019-11-09 06:14:04 UTC  

So you are sayings that in quantum mechanism, in theory, somethings do not require a beginning?

2019-11-09 06:14:09 UTC  

yes

2019-11-09 06:14:29 UTC  

I am actually more inclined to empirical data then metaphysical.

2019-11-09 06:14:43 UTC  

I need to read into space-time science.

2019-11-09 06:15:00 UTC  

why do you assume nothingness or non existence is the default state and creation requires agency

2019-11-09 06:15:15 UTC  

maybe randomness and chaos is the default state, but islands of order and stability can evolve in a sea of chaos

2019-11-09 06:15:26 UTC  

particularly when symmetry breaking is involved

2019-11-09 06:16:00 UTC  

Well, I just assume what the Bible tells me. The universe was kinda there. And God was kinda there. And we just theorize.

2019-11-09 06:16:28 UTC  

I would assume if God is a maximally great-being, he MAY have preexisted the universe.

2019-11-09 06:16:43 UTC  

so what created god

2019-11-09 06:16:55 UTC  

Noooooo

2019-11-09 06:16:59 UTC  

god doesnt really solve any problems, especially those with time and first causes

2019-11-09 06:17:01 UTC  

The chaotic tendency of nature is my assumption.

2019-11-09 06:17:15 UTC  

I just assumed the chaos popped out something which we called God.

2019-11-09 06:17:27 UTC  

I am not doing a good job with my thought experiment.

2019-11-09 06:17:30 UTC  

sure, but youre just invoking an extra step... that chaotic sea can create the universe directly

2019-11-09 06:17:36 UTC  

not everything needs a cause

2019-11-09 06:17:41 UTC  

without the need for god as an intermediary

2019-11-09 06:17:47 UTC  

~~1. Well, there would need to be a mechanism making the multiverse. I could just say that is God.~~
3. It is not likely that we are in the few universes that we live in the fine-tuned universe. (I can explain further.)

Let's do away with 1..

2019-11-09 06:18:17 UTC  

3. is debunked with the anthropic principle

2019-11-09 06:18:46 UTC  

Yeah, that is right. But in a way, I assume God is necessary and universe is contingent. I can not prove either.

2019-11-09 06:19:00 UTC  

Can you explain anthropic principle for me.

2019-11-09 06:19:17 UTC  

yeah if you want to just assume it, its fine, but like i said telelogical argument is just not necessary with our current knowledge of inflationary cosmology

2019-11-09 06:19:23 UTC  

anthropic principle is quite easy

2019-11-09 06:19:47 UTC  

what are the odds that baby birds hatch from an egg in a perfectly protected nest and a parent to feed and protect them

2019-11-09 06:20:02 UTC  

but, thats the only way they could exist

2019-11-09 06:20:14 UTC  

Given that we live in the conditions we observe presently, likely.

2019-11-09 06:20:30 UTC  

weak anthropic principle means, creatures that need oxygen to breathe will always find themselves on a planet with oxygen

2019-11-09 06:20:31 UTC  

just as likely it is random shit

2019-11-09 06:20:39 UTC  

replace oxygen with anything else

2019-11-09 06:20:55 UTC  

Well, I think I can make a novel point here.

2019-11-09 06:20:57 UTC  

its tautalogical if your existence requires something, you can onlye xist in an area where that is satisfied

2019-11-09 06:21:32 UTC  

if you combine anthropic principle with the vastness of the multiverse there's no need for anything else

2019-11-09 06:21:34 UTC  

whats the point

2019-11-09 06:22:08 UTC  

the point is just that it's unlikely

2019-11-09 06:22:16 UTC  

the point is how unlikely it is

2019-11-09 06:22:24 UTC  

and it's a decent argument imo

2019-11-09 06:22:32 UTC  

not when you consider how vast the universe is
