Sorry it's pointless to have a dialogue with you, since you are unable to retain the information after you tried to consume it. >"We don't know yet." is really the answer to whatever you are mad about. . I explained i

Because it violates the principal of causality ( it also violates common sense, ex nihilo nihil fit).

You don't see a distinction, because you don't want to see a distinction. It's very simple, not only does asking "what came before god, or what created him", bring you to where we started - the impossibility of infi

It's actually just 1., because 2. just rerolls the question, what caused that something to begin existing?

by jedimind 6y ago
No evidence? Says an entity from within the universe bound by its laws. The question transcends those limits. You talk about transformations, how is there even a law that defines what a transformation is. How does a law come into being, how

That's a fallacious argument, you're just appealing to authority.

by jedimind 6y ago
It's actually the same question in a sense, because of the principal of causation and the impossibility of infinite regress, one naturally ponders about the first cause. Before the steady state theory was proved wrong, some would just
