infinite regress

Before disussing the properties of a creator we have to assess if the universe was a created.

The cosmological argument assumes that there was a beginning, but it can again be contradicted simply by pointing out that the the matter which composes my body is eternal, never going to be created nor to be destroyed.

If we can`t prove that the universe was created, then we don`t need to think that actually a creator exists.

Second; the definition of God implies a being that is sentient. An eternal universe is absolutely not equal to a God because it lacks the capability of thinking.

Aristotele for example, believed that both God and Matter always existed, but yet he considered them to separate beings.

So I don`t really think that I'm calling the same thing under different names...

And I'll also ignore that puerile comment..

infinite regress

The recursive redaction of an old religious-philosophical argument of how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.

No, Reverend Phalwell, taken to its infinite regress the King James 1611 edition proves inerrantly that 16,751 angels could fit on the head of a pin but they'd dance only at the risk of eternal damnation and hellfire!

infinite regress

just noting that god exists outside of the universe, and is thus not subject to its laws; given that he created them along with the universe itself. any creation or destruction of the universe or anything in it is done by god outside of the universe itself see: hebrew word 'barra' meaning 'to create from nothing'.

oh. and if the universe simply existed, the universe would be god. you're just calling it a different name. read a book, kid.

if you look up infinite regress anywhere other than this site, you will get the same definition as listed above. cheers.
