The presence of a creator does not change anything. Who created the creator?
- docandrew 4y agoThat’s the point - something completely beyond our notions of causality or the arrow of time has to be at the foundation of it.
- NayamAmarshe 4y agoThe creator remains without a creation. The notion that most schools of thought have is, the creator is unborn and born at the same time and has always existed. Creator does not have a point of creation, not even death because those rules only apply to the materialistic universe.
- programmer_dude 4y agoThat's quite a cop out. Excuse me if I don't take your word for it.
- EventH- 4y agoIt isn't a cop out because the creator in the conclusion of this type of argument (e.g. Aquinas' third way) is not just another contingent being like other things, but rather a being whose existence is necessary in itself.
- NayamAmarshe 3y ago> Aquinas' third way Thank you! This was very interesting to read about. Learned something new today :D
