Multiple-UniversesIn my previous post, I brought up the fact that nontheists commonly argue the “who created the creator’s creator” viewpoint. Now I’d like to take this opportunity to turn this line of reasoning towards the increasingly popular nontheist argument on multiple universes (or multiverse) to support the Anthropic Principle. If you are unfamiliar with this concept, I will explain more, but you can find a great objective synopsis of it here.

It seems to be more and more common for the nontheists’ rebuttal to the theists’ argument, the fine tuned universe, is the Anthropic Multiverse concept. This multiverse argument has acknowledged the statistical impossibility of the universe, and ultimately life, occurring by chance. Read More

Universe_expansion2For some of you, the origin of our universe doesn’t interest you in the least. You don’t need to understand how something works to believe it. If that’s you, I’d just like to say, “Congratulations. It must be nice!” I say that tongue in cheek, but the reality is that you are lucky because there are those of us who cannot accept a truth unless it makes sense… completely. I will also share with you that, for me, having a concept in my head without a logical conclusion can keep me up all night and does so on a semi-regular basis. I have a slightly-more-than-minor compulsory issue which causes my mind to latch on to a specific problem and won’t let it go until it has a solution. So there are certain concepts that are off limits for me, two of which are eternity and infinitely. These two concepts hurt my brain just trying to envision them, so I don’t. I actually hate both concepts!  Read More

 

Why No God Makes No Sense- Atheist Pillar 1- Spontaneous Cosmos Part 1

“People need to be aware that there is a range of models that could explain the observations….For instance, I can construct you a spherically symmetrical universe with Earth at its center, and you cannot disprove it based on observations….You can only exclude it on philosophical grounds. In my view there is absolutely nothing wrong in that. What I want to bring into the open is the fact that we are using philosophical criteria in choosing our models. A lot of cosmology tries to hide that.”1

Having under taken this topic weeks ago, I have found that it became a lot more lengthy than I would have liked. So I have decided to break it into 4 separate posts, to prevent those with short attention span from scrolling down and saying, “Holy cow! I can’t read all this now… I’ll read this later (never).” I hope you get something valuable out of this. I know I did in doing all the research.

Ok, let’s get started. I think that an important place to start this conversation is to point out the fact that the causality debate of the universe is almost exclusively philosophical. A lot of the “God Isn’t” camp would try to steer the conversation away from this fact, but it is a fact nevertheless. There is no empirical data that can confirm how the universe was created and even the most widely accepted theory still cannot answer the question: “Is there a Creator”.

Why No God, Makes No Sense! – A Glimpse Into the Mind of An Atheist…

As I sat down to write today, it was my full intention to write a post on the first pillar of atheism. However, as I was doing some research I came across an atheist’s blog in which I became immediately captivated and I just had to address it here. The blogger’s name is Marshall Brain and his blog is called godisimaginary.com. He posted a video to address the problem of a creation event without a creator. If you want to get yourself dizzy (due to his circular arguments, not a dizzying intellect. Trust me.), you can watch the video or read the transcript here.

      The reason I felt the need to address this post today is because I felt that it’s a stellar illustration of how the subjective motives of the typical atheist (not all atheists, but it is common among those advocating atheism) serves them as a type of willful ignorance. Most atheists cannot stand the idea of God, much like I can’t stand the idea of infinity. This disdain for God blinds them, preventing them from seeing any perspectives that might include the possibility of the existence of God. The result of this blindness is that they won’t ever find reason to believe in the existence of God. Not because there isn’t a God or because they lack the capacity to understand it, but rather that they don’t want God to exist. This post is chock full of examples and I will break them down below (His statements in RED). Reader beware, this guy is a stereotypical, arrogant atheist advocate and, with his complete disregard of logic, he has been named a Nominee for Tool of the Month. Here we go: Read More
