Except of course for a thing which has existed for an infinite amount of time. We humans don't exist as units, for an infinite amount of time, so we can't conceive of us going back forever. But time doesn't play backwards. However if we do a thought experiment, we can imagine going back in time...

Blastula is right, there a mere assertion there, Remez. You see, the cosmos may not have begun to exist - it may have always existed. It seems that our universe began to exist in its present form. It may be an offshoot of a previously existing cosmos, (cosmos = all that there is; universe ~= all...

Maybe they do it to get little boys to eat their staff of life, 'cos priests aren't allowed to make life with them !

I know that this post is long, Syed. I hope that you will read it at your leisure, just to take in what I'm saying. I won't copy your whole post, Syed, it's view-able just above anyway. But there is no evidence that I can find in anything that you wrote. The only thing anything like evidence is...

What a jumble of ideas ! ! ! From what you have said above, "God" can fore-see things not of "free-will". Therefore, "God" can fore-see :- ° heart beating, ° stomach digesting food, ° skin sweating, ° eye involuntarily blinking when dust gets in, ° blood going to various parts of the body due...

A split second seems no better than at the same instance. In other words, "God" knows a split second before you take action you might just as well say "God" knows your action at the same instance as you take your action. Question 1. Why is a split second of any importance ...

If we are going to get anywhere, I need to know the absolute and total limits on "God's" knowledge. I'm not being rude or kidding, but you do contradict yourself, Syed, and it leaves me not knowing what you believe. You've answered this question before, and then given another answer at another...

I felt that I should clarify the above. The earth was formed about 4½ billion years ago. Life first appeared about 3.8 billion years ago. So life arose on earth when the earth was some 700 million years old. Evolution has thus had 3.8 billion years, to modify the first life forms, into all of...

Yes you did, see below . . . There is no mention of past, present or future in this reply, and no mention of atoms, molecules, (where they are or how many), or actions not of supposed " free will", like apples falling, or a human's heart beating. At the same time as saying that "God" has...

You say that "God" made humans from dirt. It's certainly not by engineering, because dirt does not engineer into living things, (not in the way you seem to mean). How does dirt turn into the materials in a living thing ??? Dirt is basically silicon, oxygen and a few metals. Humans contain many...

I grant, that I have not asked you if you have changed your mind about any of these aspects of your concept of "God", Syed. Here again, is that list of the things you have told us about your concept of "God" , Syed :- ____________________________________________________________________________...

I'll get this one out of the way first. It was me who introduced the term 'concept of god' into this thread. As you may know, there have been and still are a huge number of gods which have been conceived of by humans. Each concept of god(s) forms a theology, and is the description /...

What I did with my Examining the "God" of Syed posts, was to show that your concept of "God" is illogical and therefore also impossible. What you have said here is that you will accept the illogical, (as logical to you). Logic is a branch of philosophy, which I partly explained to you in my...

You have not read my posts properly. I have stated that NO CONCEPTS of "God" or gods are sufficiently convincing to me. The answer is NONE. What I have also stated, (with great effort, and lots of posts, at length), is that YOUR concept of what "God" is and can do is illogical, and therefore...

The problem with your comment is that it features a number of misunderstandings. 1. Atheism is not a philosophy, and has no dogmas or prescriptions. Atheism is at its simplest, a lack of belief in any gods. You may have noticed that in my posts, I have never said: "There is no god". What I do...

Hi there Syed. There was no question: as promised to you, I just showed you that your concept of "God" is illogical, contradictory, and therefore must be an incorrect conception of what "God" is, or is capable of, or both. I pointed out some of your errors, and why they are errors, and invited...

Examining the "God" of Syed, part 9 Conclusions Theological ponderings Syed has a concept of a limited god, compared to other conceptions, for example in Christianity, and Islam in general. Those other concepts of "God" have a greater god than Syed's, and those other concepts include the...

Examining the "God" of Syed, part 8 Relativity and reality The rate of passage of time in a GPS satellite is affected by both speed, and strength of gravitational field, (it is the case in the identical twins scenario as well, but the extreme high speed is dominant in that case). So how...

Examining the "God" of Syed, part 7 Ambiguity of time and durations Albert Einstein's (Special) Theory of relativity has details which include the relativity of simultaneity and time dilation. Things which are deemed to happen simultaneously from one observation point, may not be simultaneous...
