I don't but there are plenty of religious people who will keep insisting there's a gap in the knowledge when there isn't one. Ignorance≠Stupidity. You just need better arguments and talk points that are not being delivered by smug atheists.

We're likely to die out as a species before we understand the nature and origin of the universe. That doesn't mean God ever existed.

Well it could be that the Big Bang is simply the mechanism of how matter is created and something existed before it. Or even that there is an endless cycle of creation where multiple universes have been created by multiple big bangs. The actual creation of everything could have come from something else and the endless cycle of big bangs is the result of creation not just the cause of it.

The idea of a God as a magic skyman fucking with human beings is ridiculous and obviously egocentric to the humans producing the lore. The odds of this happening are astronomically low, but if it is not a probability of zero, it probably HAS and WILL HAPPEN infinitely across space time somewhere in an infinite multiverse.

Despite that however, mathematically, the likelihood of a sentience creating all of what we exist within is much higher than it happening randomly out of nothing, which is what atheism (in our universe at least) argues for.

However, all are possible (and more than likely have happened infinitely and infinitely repeatedly across space time in an infinite multiverse) and are both valid explanations for our universe as we can't tell which one is correct. The big mystery for our universe is which one of these, or infinitely many other reasons is the reason for our universe's existence.

There's technically no logical case to uphold Atheism until or unless humanity can discover what came , was, or occurred before the big bang. Which is basically impossible (at this moment)

In any sense of logic the universe existing is an unexplainable phenomenon and the simplest answer is that the answer to why existence exists is ridiculously far out and complex. Most people stop looking for impossible answers and conclude that there has to be a higher form of life, quite the logical conclusion when faced with so much evidence yet to be found.

There is such a thing as a false vacuum collapse though. The current energy level of the vacuum might not be the lowest, and if a lower-energy vacuum is created anywhere in the universe, it would spread out at the speed of light, destroying everything and essentially creating a new universe. Perhaps that's what the Big Bang was, and it may happen again.

Yes.

>>
Quantum pairs that did not annihilate each other in a false vacuum created the universe. After the heat death when every particle is infinitely far away from any another particle, it will happen again. The quantum micro particles that arise out of this vacuum will have no space to contain it so it expands infinitely in all directions giving rise to the universe again.

>>Why do atheists insist on believing that everything was created due to a reaction between atoms and particles but not God?

Because accepting the existence of God or gods implies divine judgement for bad human behaviour (aka sin). So people resort to mental gymnastics in an attempt to escape the consequences of their devious behaviour.

The fine tuning of the universe for the existence of life should be enough evidence to prove the intelligent design of the universe aka cosmic consciousness aka God.
But God means judgement and nobody likes that. So scientists come up with the multiverse "theory".
In fact the multiverse "theory" is just a belief. A true scientific theory has a null hypothesis, a methodology to get empirical results, results which can be replicated by peer scientists in separate experiments in different space-time frames. I don't see any of that. What I see is "let's asume there's a multiverse to explain the fine tuning of the universe, anything but an incredibly intelligent cosmic consciousness/ sentient being/ overpowered entity who engineered the universe for human life to exist".

In other words, his existence is not contingent on any condition as ours is. Aristotle refered to him as "the unmoved mover." He is the uncaused cause.

there were no reactions bween atoms and particles at the point of the big bang and shortly after bc atoms and particles hadn't formed. suffice it to say, what happened before the big bang is irrelevant because it happened before the universe existed and can never be known. maybe a god made the big bang but it's useless to talk about that.

atheists believe christians are dumb bc most of them reject scientific evidence wout being able to understand it in the first place and think a few stories and parables and philosophies are more concrete than centuries of rigorous mathematical and scientific knowledge. there's no reason the ideas have to be mutually exclusive and if a christian is so fascinated by god's beautiful creation they should learn the physics behind it bc it's a lot more interesting than the 'explanations' you find in the bible.

I don't know what the muslim god thinks about science, but I know that the Christian God is ok with science, He wants you to seek Him out.
https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Matthew-7-7/
"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you".
Do research on stuff like the golden ratio, the Fibbonaci sequence, the fine tuning of the universe for the existence of life. All of it indicate the existence of intelligent design aka God.

It's a little weirder than that.

Either Chaos Theory is true and something can come from nothing (this could include an all powerful creator suddenly appearing.)

Or there is an eternal creative force such as God, Gods or The Force from Star Wars, etc. All the major religions say that such beings can indeed create something from nothing.

Existence is a paradox, anon.

For fucks sake

1)It didn't "explode", the Big Bang is an admittedly bad term. It EXPANDED.

2) You think because something is non-intuitive it's wrong. If you had a really heaby object in one hand and a really light object in the other and there was no wind resistance, your intuition would tell you the heavy object would fall faster. This is not true, because intuition doesn't men shit in science.

3) Space-Time was created AFTER the Big Bang, the laws of causality started AFTER the big bang, acausality is NON-INUITIVE but that doesn't make it wrong.

Belief that everything was created due to a reaction between atoms and particles has nothing to do with disbelief in god. All that being an atheist means is you lack belief in deities, you do not have to believe specific things about the creation of the universe.

I'm an atheist who was raised around angry devout Christians.

They would say something like "God gave man free will. That means that men can also choose to be sinful (evil.) Free will means that God will not be intervening on a regular basis which is why he is only seen by the most faithful people."

I was never really satisfied with that explanation. If there is a God or something like him, he is taking a hands off approach to the world.

There wasn't any matter, but there was light. Photons can spontaneously create themselves, this is proven by observation. When they have enough energy, they decay into a particle and an anti-particle. Photons can decay into bosons which can decay into protons, the mass of the universe comes from such decay.

And even if we didn't know this, even if this current theory was wrong, just because we don't know something doesn't mean GOD DID IT is a good answer, that's called Worshipping gaps/The God of the Gaps. It's a logical fallacy to say "We don't YET know-THere fore God.

Asking the question "who made God" implies the existence of someone else who made God in the first place. Another God? This is a silly question.
In the Bible (KJV) in Exodus 3:14 is mentioned "And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
God exists through Himself and from Himself because He is existence itself and the very source of existence in contrast with non-existence, if you understand what I am trying to say.

It's impossible or anything to exist within time and space. Because it would require a creator. And if you find it, that would require a creator. Nothing can come from nothing.

God has no creator or beginning, because he is outside of space and time where these concepts have no meaning.

God is spiritual, not material. Matter is born, maintains for some time, and then is destroyed. It's the nature of matter to constantly be in flux and changing through these states.

It is ignorant and superstitious, not to mention supremely arrogant and Jewish, to believe that the God or whatever that allegedly created the universe doesn't give a shit about you. God's having created the universe implies he gives a shit. One cannot do something of their own free will and not give a shit. Knowing Him confirms this. Crying like a little babby isn't proof of otherwise.

That's not what I meant.

Not like getting caught by authorities, but like having your son getting cancer and having to give all money you stole for chimotherapy and he still dies. Something like that.

>Who made your God?
Asking the question "who made God" implies the existence of someone else who made God in the first place. Another God? This is a silly question.
In the Bible (KJV) in Exodus 3:14 is mentioned "And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
God exists through Himself and from Himself because He is existence itself and the very source of existence in contrast with non-existence.
>If God always existed why can't the Universe also just always have existed?
See above. God is the source, and he is infinite while the universe is the finite outcome, with a beggining and an end.

I do not think you understand
The concept of energy, matter, time and space "before" the big bang simply did not exist. There was literally nothing
If God did exist before such happenstance, he would not be made of the same stuff that the big bang made, because before that literally nothing of what we can observe even existed. He's outside space, not made of energy, and conceptually separate from everything that is.

You're thinking of him as a "supernatural presence" or "an unseen power in the entire universe" but in reality, if he was there at the beginning, when quite literally nothing was, he must have been completely separated, detached and not made of anything we could understand.
I wouldn't pray to something like that, I would live in the perpetual fear that it could do anything, be anything or change anything in everything that is.

Hopefully this will scare off any atheist newfags from reddit who mistakenly believe they're in good company.

The burden of proof lies on the "atheist" who claims God doesn't exist or is unlikely to exist, because once it is accepted that neither of these is true, choosing God is a personal choice. The burden of proof is not on me to prove God exists because my claim is only that God doesn't necessarily not exist nor is He unlikely to exist. If you do not hold a belief about God's existence nor the likelihood of His existence, you are without this knowledge and are an agnostic by definition. If you insist on calling yourself an "agnostic atheist," know that this phrase is a redundant rhetorical tautology, and thus that its usage can only be assumed to be meant to implicitly equivocate classical atheism and new "atheism."

1. Some things are moved
2. Everything that is moving is moved by a mover
3. An infinite regress of movers is impossible
4. Therefore there is an unmoved mover from whom all motion proceeds
5. This mover is what we call God

1. Logical absolutes exist.
2. Logical absolutes are conceptual by nature--are not dependent on space, time, physical properties, or human nature.
3. They are not the product of the physical universe (space, time, matter) because if the physical universe were to disappear, logical absolutes would still be true.
4. Logical Absolutes are not the product of human minds because human minds are different--not absolute.
5. But, since logical absolutes are always true everywhere and not dependent upon human minds, it must be an absolute transcendent mind that is authoring them.
6. This mind is called God.
7. Furthermore, if there are only two options to account for something, i.e., God and no God2 3, and one of them is negated, then by default the other position is validated.
8. Therefore, part of the argument is that the atheist position cannot account for the existence of logical absolutes from its worldview.

1. Many people from different eras and cultures have claimed experience of the supernatural.
2. We should believe their experiences in the absence of any reason not to.
3. Therefore, the supernatural exists.

1. Everything that exists has an explanation of its existence, either in the necessity of its own nature or in an external cause.
2. If the universe has an explanation of its existence, that explanation is God.
3. The universe exists.
4. Therefore, the universe has an explanation of its existence (from 1, 3).

2. Some circumstances and events of those kinds have actually occurred.
3. Therefore, there is a supernatural agent.

dark matter takes up less than 30% of the universe. dark energy more than 60%. it's called dark bc we don't know anything about it since it doesn't interact w ordinary radiation we would use to study it. the dark 'vacuum' space is regions of very low pressure, almost entirely lacking matter and containing dark energy, individual atoms, different types of radiation, fields, neutrinos, and particles popping in and out of existence. nobody listens bc you don't really know what you're talking about.

If the total amount of mass/energy is fixed and limited (1st law of thermodynamics), and the amount of usable energy is decreasing (2nd law of thermodynamics), then this universe cannot have existed forever, otherwise it would have already exhausted all usable energy.

1. Some things in the world are in motion.
2. Everything in motion was moved by something else, and that was moved by something, and so on (2-7).
3. Motion must have a starting point.
4. There must be a first mover not moved by anything else.
5. God is the only being that is capable of being an unmoved mover.
6. Therefore, God exists.

1. Our senses reveal to us an order of efficient causes in the world.
2. Nothing can be the efficient cause of itself because then it would have to exist prior to itself, which is impossible.
3. In a series of efficient causes, each member of the series is the cause of the next.
4. Because of this, if there is no first cause in the series, there will be no series at all.
5. The series of efficient causes cannot extend infinitely into the past, for then there would be no first cause and therefore no series.
6. Therefore it is necessary to admit a first efficient cause, to which everyone gives the name of God.

1. We notice around us things that come into being and go out of being. A tree, for example, grows from a tiny shoot, flowers brilliantly, then withers and dies.
2. Whatever comes into being or goes out of being does not have to be; nonbeing is a real possibility.
3. Suppose that nothing has to be; that is, that nonbeing is a real possibility for everything.
4. Then right now nothing would exist. For
5. If the universe began to exist, then all being must trace its origin to some past moment before which there existed—literally—nothing at all. But
6. From nothing nothing comes. So
7. The universe could not have begun.
8. But suppose the universe never began. Then, for the infinitely long duration of cosmic history, all being had the built-in possibility not to be. But
9. If in an infinite time that possibility was never realized, then it could not have been a real possibility at all. So
10. There must exist something which has to exist, which cannot not exist. This sort of being is called necessary.
11. Either this necessity belongs to the thing in itself or it is derived from another. If derived from another there must ultimately exist a being whose necessity is not derived, that is, an absolutely necessary being.
12. This absolutely necessary being is God.

1. Objects have properties to greater or lesser extents.
2. If an object has a property to a lesser extent, then there exists some other object that has the property to the maximum possible degree.
3. So there is an entity that has all properties to the maximum possible degree.
4. Hence God exists.

1. irreducible consciousness exists

1. Truth exists.
2. Truth is immutable (unchangeable).
3. Truth is eternal.
4. Truth is mental (pertaining to mind or minds).
5. Truth is superior to the human mind.
6. Truth is God.

1. We have ideas of many things.
2. These ideas must arise either from ourselves or from things outside us.
3. One of the ideas we have is the idea of God—an infinite, all-perfect being.
4. This idea could not have been caused by ourselves, because we know ourselves to be limited and imperfect, and no effect can be greater than its cause.
5. Therefore, the idea must have been caused by something outside us which has nothing less than the qualities contained in the idea of God.
6. But only God himself has those qualities.
7. Therefore God himself must be the cause of the idea we have of him.
8. Therefore God exists.

1. It is greater for a thing to exist in the mind and in reality than in the mind alone.
2. "God" means "that than which a greater cannot be thought."
3. Suppose that God exists in the mind but not in reality.
4. Then a greater than God could be thought (namely, a being that has all the qualities our thought of God has plus real existence).
5. But this is impossible, for God is "that than which a greater cannot be thought."
6. Therefore God exists in the mind and in reality.

1. The expression "that being than which a greater cannot be thought" (GCB, for short) expresses a consistent concept.
2. GCB cannot be thought of as: a. necessarily nonexistent; or as b. contingently existing but only as c. necessarily existing.
3. So GCB can only be thought of as the kind of being that cannot not exist, that must exist.
4. But what must be so is so.
5. Therefore, GCB (i.e., God) exists.

1. There is a possible world (W) in which there is a being (X) with maximal greatness.
2. But X is maximally great only if X has maximal excellence in every possible world.
3. Therefore X is maximally great only if X has omnipotence, omniscience and moral perfection in every possible world.
4. In W, the proposition "There is no omnipotent, omniscient, morally perfect being" would be impossible—that is, necessarily false.
5. But what is impossible does not vary from world to world.
6. Therefore, the proposition, "There is no omnipotent, omniscient, morally perfect being" is necessarily false in this actual world, too.
7. Therefore, there actually exists in this world, and must exist in every possible world, an omnipotent, omniscient, morally perfect being.

1. Real moral obligation is a fact. We are really, truly, objectively obligated to do good and avoid evil.
2. Either the atheistic view of reality is correct or the "religious" one.
3. But the atheistic one is incompatible with there being moral obligation.
4. Therefore the "religious" view of reality is correct.

1. Every natural, innate desire in us corresponds to some real object that can satisfy that desire.
2. But there exists in us a desire which nothing in time, nothing on earth, no creature can satisfy.
3. Therefore, there must exist something more than time, earth and creatures, which can satisfy this desire.
4. This something is what people call "God" and "life with God forever."

P(h/e and k) > P(h/k). —The probability (P) of the hypothesis of the existence of God (h) based upon/given the empirical evidence (e) for God and background knowledge (k) is a greater probability (>) than the probability (P) of the hypothesis of the existence of God (h) solely based upon/given background knowledge alone (k)—without the empirical evidence for God.

1. The universe displays a staggering amount of intelligibility, both within the things we observe and in the way these things relate to others outside themselves. That is to say: the way they exist and coexist display an intricately beautiful order and regularity that can fill even the most casual observer with wonder. It is the norm in nature for many different beings to work together to produce the same valuable end—for example, the organs in the body work for our life and health. (See also argument 8.)
2. Either this intelligible order is the product of chance or of intelligent design.
3. Not chance.
4. Therefore the universe is the product of intelligent design.
5. Design comes only from a mind, a designer.
6. Therefore the universe is the product of an intelligent Designer.

1. If something exists, there must exist what it takes for that thing to exist.
2. The universe—the collection of beings in space and time—exists.
3. Therefore, there must exist what it takes for the universe to exist.
4. What it takes for the universe to exist cannot exist within the universe or be bounded by space and time.

2. Either this intelligible universe and the finite minds so well suited to grasp it are the products of intelligence, or both intelligibility and intelligence are the products of blind chance.

People who think of the existence of God as a ridiculous notion, presumably by choice, imagine Him as some limited being who's unlikely to exist by definition. God is generally defined as being omnipotent, omniscient, omnibenevolent, transcendent, and ultimately incomprehensible. Imposing purposely silly definitions on Him (or any definition), aside from being an appeal to ridicule, does not function as a valid reduction to absurdity because any and all imposed definitions conflict with His actual definition. For example, a "flying spaghetti monster," or a "sky daddy," is either not omnipotent by definition, or its form isn't necessary and therefore arbitrary and non-definitive. If or when the intention is merely to show God is "as ridiculous" as any fantastical thing using false analogies, it is only a redundantly-fallacious appeal to the stone. It's also akin to saying "Look, I can make things up. Therefore your God is made up," and yet these are the kind of unsophisticated arguments atheists use, presumably all because they refuse to conceive of possibility outside our comprehension, lest they have to admit we may be held accountable to something outside ourselves.

All of you faggots don't seem to realize that there is no logical differences between Being and Non-Being from an inside observer's standpoint.
Imagine being in the Whole of Everything, United in a unit of Everything (literally 1=1).
What would you see, sense, feel?
Nothing... and Everything. Because there is nothing else but Everything, which you are already inside.
This is a capital point. Non-Existence as you see it is ironically non-existant. There is only existence, and causes and effects, that are the absolute truths of our Universe, and what was before, and what will be after.
Imagine being Existence and Non-Existence at the same time before Time itself. And imagine, for a second, that since this thing is perfect, it has some sort of thing approaching a consciousness, that it has some conscience of his "body" of one unit, and that it can't tolerate the paradox of its own existence, shattering itself to pieces, in the most violent explosion of elementary energies and particules imaginable, so powerful that it is still literally happening right now.
And lastly, imagine that it allowed itself to shatter. Since he was a unit of the very energy composing the entire Universe, it would have been easy to maintain this paradox. So why didn't it?
Because it thought it'd be imperfect, a concept which was utterly alien to it.

The best explanation isn't sky daddy. Religion in general is very human-centric, which considering the universe's size means is rather misguided.

i hate those philosophical arguments its not based on the bible is worldly vanity

its not biblical

Colossians 2:8
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

biblical prophecy is how you prove god exists

>Some time before 500 BC, the prophet Daniel proclaimed that Israel's long-awaited Messiah would begin his public ministry 483 years after the issuing of a decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem (Daniel 9:25-26). He further predicted that the Messiah would be "cut off," killed, and that this event would take place prior to a second destruction of Jerusalem. Abundant documentation shows that these prophecies were perfectly fulfilled in the life (and crucifixion) of Jesus Christ. The decree regarding the restoration of Jerusalem was issued by Persia's King Artaxerxes to the Hebrew priest Ezra in 458 BC, 483 years later the ministry of Jesus Christ began in Galilee. Jesus' crucifixion occurred only a few years later, and about four decades later, in AD 70 came the destruction of Jerusalem by Titus.

First off, 1 should be, "Some things are moving."

Second, and very obvious, is the contradiction of 2 and 4. Everything moving is moved by a mover. There is an unmoved mover (this mover is moving something, and thus needs to be moved itself by premise 2). So you can't hold both of these at the same time (because it is illogical).
