You have GOT to be joking.
That's not a proof, but a parable. Worse, it's an ignorant parable, which can be defeated by: "Then who made God?"
(And let me head off at the pass the whole "God was always there" argument. If God was always there, then why can't reality have always been there?)
- jimbokun 18y ago"If God was always there, then why can't reality have always been there?" Not to defend the argument you are responding to, but if by "reality" you mean the universe, the Big Bang says that the universe did have a beginning. In which case it makes sense to suppose that something without a beginning is responsible for the thing with a beginning (the universe). I believe Stephen Hawking acknowledges this argument, and talked about whether or not the universe does have a "beginning" in a Brief History of Time, leading into a discussion of a bowl shaped space-time or something, at which point he lost me. :)
