You show your lack of understanding in the argument I was making and have incorrectly attempted to dismiss it with the wrong fallacy. I wasn't arguing on the credibility of Einstein. My point was that Einstein, arguably one of the greatest scientist of all time, missed the "scientific" evidence that would allowed him to discover the big bang. Your assertion that he lacked evidence is a lie or gross misrepresentation. All of his measurements pointed to the Universe having a beginning, but since he did not believe in God, his prejudice would not allow him to accept the fact the universe had a beginning. You see if the universe had a beginning, then it would have to have a cause. If it has always existed, there is no necessity for the causal relationship. Therefore, your logic has again suffered an epic fail. The causal necessity is not applicable if the result in question is not a result, since it has always been.
You are asserting the universe has always existed. You have zero evidence. There is evidence of the big bang, such as backround microwave radiation from the big bang itself. this is where everything you say falls apart- the fact that the big bang is supported by evidence, and predictions from the model are accurate to what we see today- the universe is continually expanding. Everything we see in the universe follows logically from a model put forth from the big bang happening. You have zero evidence for any of your claims, and they rest purely on an attempt to prove your presupposition that the bible is accurate and true, which can not ever be demonstrated and is not supported by evidence.
Are you actually reading my posts????? I never asserted the universe has always existed. I am asserting if it was as Einstein believed, an eternal universe that has always existed, there is no requirement for a cause. The same logic can be applied to God who has always existed. The causal argument can not be applied. But since we know the universe had a beginning and has not always existed, a cause necessarily follows as a requirement. This gives Hawkins fits. Because any argument he presents for a cause of the universe is technically supernatural, and would have the same merit as "God did it".
By the way, regarding your statement at the end, just because you lay down what you think is truth in a childish tantrum, does not require it to be so.
Who cares that Einstein missed 'the big bang?' It's not like he didn't have enough on his mind. it seems like you are criticizing him for not being smart enough to see a big bang, and then attributing that to his supposed pre-supposition that a god doesn't exist, both of which are incredibly arrogant to do. You're really not making any sense anyway, and the point you are trying to make is very unclear. Are you essentially trying to push through a cosmological argument? This has been centuries in the making and you are trying to sound like you are the first one. Yes, I know about the cosmological argument. It doesn't prove a supernatural being. You can not say that the first cause was necessarily supernatural. Moreover, it is logically fallacious to assert our knowledge of logic onto something outside of time and space. Logical rules necessarily fall apart before the big bang, since only logic and reason are emergent only with the properties of our known universe. Therefore, you can not even assert that the universe had to have a cause. You do not know that. As I said, even if you want to take the cosmological argument, you can not assert that the first cause was God, because then you immediately fall into an infinite regress. What caused God? What caused that? What caused that? and so on... it gets you nowhere. If you're arbitrary definition of god is that he always existed, then that 'logically' falls apart as well by the proof I already put down.
1. Everything that exists has a cause
2. God has no cause
3. God does not exist
Would you mind being a little less arrogant, please? It's pretty godamn annoying.
