The architect scene was dissappointingly simple! I was hoping for some twist but it didn't happendark_angel said:hahahah as if man i couldnt understand the architect scene either (even though i watched it at least 5 times)
But anyway
That's not what I'm saying, for one.dark_angel said:you can say that god does not exist,
Yes...dark_angel said:but if you can do that then you can also ascertain that there are some things in this universe that you cannot know. Black holes (or singularities as you will) cannot be examined passed the event horizon. Which means that we have been denied knowledge, whatever that may be. You cannot be sure of anything in this universe, the laws of physics break down and cannot be applied in a singularity, time and space cease to exist.
Yes...dark_angel said:And when most of the world is obsessed with politics or society we fail to realise just how insignificant we really are.
You can't be.dark_angel said:so i pose the question, if u cant be certain of whats inside a black hole which there are millions floating in space this very moment, how can u be certain that god does not exist?
Yes, obviously!dark_angel said:and hence if u CANNOT be certain that god does not exist, isnt that a good enough reason to say that he CAN exist,
NO! This is where your reasoning goes completely wrong --dark_angel said:if so then isnt that a valid reason to beleive in an omnibenevolent, omnipresent god?
1. You can't be certain God does not exist
2. It is possible God does exist
3. Therefore, there is a good reason to believe God does exist
NO! The jump from premise 2 to 3 is invalid. Simply because it is POSSIBLE does not mean that it is TRUE or that there is good reason for it! It is possible that there are aliens. It doesn't mean we should believe in aliens. It is possible that the flying goat-God Gorgamel exists! That is not good reason for us to believe in him.
Additionally, I noticed you were describing God as only "ominbenevolent" and "omnipresent" - have you dropped the "omnipotent" part from your definition of God? Have you dropped the "omniscient" part from your definition?
