DOES GOD EXIST?
Does God exist? Are we a matter of chance or did some omniscient being created us? Are we here for a purpose or are we just mindless animals? That is for you to decide.
The Philosopher Derek Parfit says “No question is more sublime than why there is a Universe: why there is anything rather than nothing. Nor should we assume that answers to this question must be causal.” Philosophically the thought of an infinite past is absurd. Just think if the universes ever began to exist than the means the number of past events in history of the universe is infinite. However mathematicians recognize that existence of an actually infinite number of things leads to self-contradictions. Infinity is actually just an idea, it does not exist in nature nor does it provide a basis for rational thought. The role that remains form the infinite to play is solely that of an idea, so that the number of past events must be finite. The universe must have begun to exist. That brings us to the big bang, which represents the origin of existence from literally nothing. Which means the Big Bang come from nothing and BY nothing? But surly that doesn’t make sense, out of nothing comes; there must have been a cause that brought us into being. This must be a timeless; space less immaterial being with unfathomable power, more over it must be personal as well. The only two things that fit these descriptions are either abstract objects such as numbers, or a personal mind. Since abstract objects cant cause anything it simply leads to a creator that must have an intellectual mind.
Our universe has a vast amount of constants that act on ends, example gravity, or the balance between matter and antimatter. These are life-permitting values. If these constants were altered to the slightest decimal, the balance would be altered and live would seize to exist. If the atomic weak force was to be altered by as little as 1 part out of 10X10^100 wouldn’t permitted a live permitting universe. Two...
