sure god could exist and just decide to leave zero evidence

2019-11-09 06:12:09 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.)

Well, you would just have to disprove my thought experiments as they are "evidence".

2019-11-09 06:12:31 UTC  

If you can disprove these, we go back to square one.

2019-11-09 06:12:42 UTC  

Which I would return to the agnostic position.

2019-11-09 06:12:57 UTC  

1. that is an overly simplistic view of time and causality, that holds in classical physics but not quantum. time is summetrical, would you argue god must exist to destroy the universe? does the universe have a fixed end point?

2019-11-09 06:13:06 UTC  

if it doesnt need to have a fixed end it doesnt need a fixed beginning

2019-11-09 06:14:01 UTC  

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
