Let's address this logically , no need for all this .

So please answer these questions

1. If "A" causes or brings "B" into existence , is "A" the creator of "B" ?

If yes :

2. Can we deduce the properties of A from the observation of B ?

If no

Why ?

Please I need a perspicuous response .




A car produces fumes from its exhaust. But can we deduce the properties of a car from. The exhaust fumes?

I want direct evidence for God. Everything I know has direct evidence on one way or the other. Why not God. Why is there no direct incontrovertible and objective evidence for God?

Exactly !

"Where is the evidence ?"

I'm not sure how this automatically proves that atheism is not illogical undecided

Dalaman

If life on earth should be obliterated , how can we tell that intelligent life existed on earth ?

Based on evidence left behind that will indicate that intelligent life once existed. Like skeletons.

Again i have to step in here.

A cars fumes can tell you the following

1. The kind of gas being used

2. The condition of the engine the fumes are coming from

3. The type of fume would also let you know the quality of engine its coming from (hybrid or not)


4. The consistency or lack of and pressure will show you the strength of the engine its coming from

5. It can give you details like IF THE ENGINE BLOCK IS CRACKED, IF YOU HAVE A BLOWN HEAD GASKET OR AN OVERHEATING ENGINE

It can also tell you IF THE ENGINE IS BURNING UP OIL FAST OR IF OIL IS LEAKING IN THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER.


It can also tell you IF THE AIR FILTER IS CLOGGED OR IF THERE IS A FAULT IN YOUR SENSORS OR FUEL INJECTORS OR FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR.

It can also tell you IF YOU ARE USING A TURBO CHARGED ENGINE AND IF THE TURBO CHARGER HAS GONE BAD e.t.c

All that from just a cars exhaust fume grin grin grin


I am sure you know that a car that has a turbo charger is a high end vehicle and high end vehicles are usually fitted with comfort enhancing gizmos... grin grin grin grin

Please note that the

a. Universe creating itself is a logical absurdity .

Absurdity based on how you understand things?....or a conclusively proven fact?

b. Infinite regress of causes is illogical and impossible
Ok

With that sorted out here's the Cosmological Argument for the Existence of God

1. Whatever begins to exist must have a cause

True to an extent....but not entirely correct.

2. The universe began to exist

As far as we know.

3. Therefore , the universe has a cause

This would be true if and only if cause and effect holds both at the most fundamental level of existence and the observed level of existence, and apparently current scientific knowledge suggests that cause and effect do not hold at all levels.

Do you agree that this is a tenable argument for the existence of God ?

These are not in any way sufficient for assumption of a deity, save for confirmation that one does exist

There can be long chains of causes and it can be traced to a car . Cars have engines right ? And gases can be ejected from an engine as waste products .

You can deduce at least two properties

1. Machine that runs on fuel or gas

2. It has an engine

And cars are machines that have engines and run on fuel and I know you could argue that there are other machines . That means there is a set of possible causes .

I want direct evidence for God. Everything I know has direct evidence on one way or the other. Why not God. Why is there no direct incontrovertible and objective evidence for God?

If you understand the law of cause and effect , an effect is something caused right ? Do you think that proving that the universe is an effect is evidence that it has a creator (cause) ?

Even the best atheist professors have not been able to demonstrate how logic gave birth to atheism.

To the best of my knowledge it was hedonism , ignorance , rebellion , deceit and ignorance that gave birth to atheism .

The Cosmological Arguments which is one of Thomas Aquinas' Proofs is baseless and vacuous.

The above argument relies upon the idea of a regress and invoke God to terminate it. It makes the entirely assumptions that God himself is immune to the regress.

It's more el cheapo to conjure up, say, a "big bang singularity", or some physical concept as yet unknown. Calling it God is at best unhelpful and at worst noxiously misleading.

Very false

1. The Cosmological Argument was not from Thomas Aquinas . Aristotle and Plato were the first to propose the existence a first cause . Thomas Aquinas only re-introduced it to Christian theology .

2. Infinite regress of causes is illogical and impossible so the existence of the First Cause which is self existent (uncaused) is a logical necessity

3. The First Cause which is self existent is God . 'God' is just an appellation for the first cause .

4. If you are repulsed by the word 'God' , we can go with the befitting description of the First Cause: an extremely powerful uncaused necessarily existing non-contingent non physical immaterial eternal being who created the universe and everything in it

5. The universe is a contingent being that relies on a non-contingent being that cannot not exist by the necessity of its own nature .

Infinite regress is logically impossible.

Moreover, GOD created the universe, which is made up of matter, space and time. Before the universe, time did not exist.

GOD must necessarily be uncreated because to suggest that He was created is to suggest that a time difference exists between the beginning of His existence and the beginning of the existence of His Creator. But time began with the universe. Therefore GOD is uncaused.

KingEbukasBlog:


Why is it not entirely correct .

Everything is essentially a cause and an effect.
If we say for example that the horn from a car caused an accident, then the motion of everything everywhere is also a part of it. Everything leading to a final event can be classified as a cause. For example, lets say computers began to exist at a time. At what point in time or which action can we precisely say caused computers, because you have to break down every component that makes a computer and account for their causes.

At quatum mechanics, cause and effect as humans generally understand is completely obliterated. Experiment proves, incontrovertibly, that exact ideas of place and time required to make causation work simply do not exist. We can point to the physical effects which, taken as an aggregate, yield causation as an approximation, but only as an approximation. It works in common but simplified cases, not all cases.


How can you confirm that a creator does not exist based on conjectures ?

The exact same way you can confirm a creator exits because of conjectures

And for God to create the universe there must be a TIME difference between the CAUSE(God) and the EFFECT(The Universe), and since there was no time before the universe... :|

Time is a component of the universe - what the universe came with.

Before the universe came to be, it did not exist. It began to exist only when GOD brought the universe into existence. Yet GOD existed before the Universe because you cannot claim that the Cause of the universe did not exist.

So, essentially, GOD exists outside the universe(matter, space and time). Therefore He is eternal.

Look at this man.
In your previous post you claimed that God could not have been caused because CAUSALITY requires TIME which didn't exist before the universe.

I was expecting someone to mention quantum mechanics though you did so tacitly before I asked you to be explicit . Quantum mechanics just describes what takes place at the quantum level. It does not make any reference to causes, and this does not imply that there are no causal entities involved.

The exact same way you can confirm a creator exits because of conjectures

There are no conjectures here . As far as something has a beginning it obviously implies that it was caused .

God is timeless without the universe and time comes into being at the moment He creates the universe. This is simple

This is stupid. Creation/causation requires a TIME difference. So if there was no TIME before the universe then the universe was not created.
