Apologetics 301 Guidelines

If you think this is the area where you tell everyone you are sorry for eating their lunch out of the fridge, it probably isn't the place for you


This forum is open discussion between atheists and all theists to defend and debate their views on religion or non-religion. Please respect that this is a Christian-owned forum and refrain from gratuitous blasphemy. VERY wide leeway is given in range of expression and allowable behavior as compared to other areas of the forum, and moderation is not overly involved unless necessary. Please keep this in mind. Atheists who wish to interact with theists in a way that does not seek to undermine theistic faith may participate in the World Religions Department. Non-debate question and answers and mild and less confrontational discussions can take place in General Theistics.

      It is the Quantum World that is possibly eternal and/or infinite, and not individual microscopic particle of matter measured in terms of Quanta..

      You still need a basic high school level physics course.

        Infinite and eternal existences of finite things do not make what is finite not to be finite and temporal.

            What is finite and temporal is the particles including atoms, molecules, and human beings in our physical existence does not make our physical existence finite and temporal.

              • In order for anything to exist eternally there needs to be an uncaused Existence, be it God or not. The simple truth is you do not want God to be God.

                  In order for our physical existence [spacetime] to be eternal it has to have for it an uncaused Existence. The evidence is our physical existence began [13.7 billion years ago]. And there is an uncaused Existence [which is a metaphysical argument].

                    By far the the majority of the scientists support the possibility of the Multiverse hypothesis.Despite your hookus boogus reference do you deny this?\\

                    IT IS NOT A SCIENTIFIC REFERENCE. It misrepresents scientists without provided accurate citations from their works.

                    What caused the Multiverse? The Multiverse possibly exists in an eternal infinite Quantum World, and there are possibly many Multiverses.

                    What caused God?

                      Regardless of what people want it is possible an eternal infinite physical existence exists, and an eternal Natural Law is the eternal cause.

                        Yes and I'm positing an eternal, infinite, material existence existing. This has nothing to do with gods existing or not.

                          In order for there to be an eternal material existence there has to be the metaphysical eternal. Material existence consists of temporal things.

                            Causes are temporal and finite or they would not be a cause. An eternal cause as a unite consists of being both eternal and temporal. Physical existence consists of temporal and finite things. An eternal physical existence has a beginning but no end. The issue of being eternal is a metaphysical one.

                              By this logic God is temporal, but in reality it is a phony line of reasoning.

                              An eternal cause as a unite consists of being both eternal and temporal. Physical existence consists of temporal and finite things. An eternal physical existence has a beginning but no end. The issue of being eternal is a metaphysical one.
                              No, it is not totally a metaphysical one. Our physical existence remains possibly eternal and infinite, and natural law remains possibly eternal and the cause.

                              Despite repeating your assertions over and over you have failed to present a coherent argument.

                                Natural, material existence possibly consists of temporal things existing eternally.
