I've been asking YOU for a logically valid claim of such a Creator ... you have failed to produce.False. A creator is itself subject to a hierarchy of creators.
In whose rulebook??? A logical claim that the Creator exists outside of space, time, matter and energy, and that It predates the Big Bang, does not necessitate that the Creator follow any of the rules in this universe.
However, in you defense, I will say that there can be no rational dispute that an imaginary Creator that "exists outside of space, time, matter and energy,..." is CERTAINLY not obligated by any kind of necessity to "follow any of the rules in this universe."
I have no idea what you posted here.How can something that is infinite in both directions on our understanding of the timelien REQUIRE a beginning?
There's no logically valid argument such a Creator would be subject to such a hierarchy--AND HERE'S THE BONUS YOU GET FOR INVITING ME--If you remove the special-pleading fallacy from the Creationist's cosmological argument, such a Creator would still not be subject to such a hierarchy ... because the existence of such a Creator would not be possible according to this improved Creationist's cosmological argument.If the Creator has no beginning, please explain logically why It would be subject to such a hierarchy?
It's not quite fair of you to say this to Hollie, considering how generous she was in ignoring the obvious logical fallacy your entire argument is fatally premised on.Hollie, you can't just make statements like that and not back them up.
If you ignore the logical fallacy your entire argument is fatally premised on, then an infinite regression of Creators who Created Creators is necessarily concluded--establishing the "hierarchy of creators" that Hollie asserted.Please present a logical argument as the basis of this claim.
And yes, OF COURSE, an infinite regression of anything is rationally repugnant because they don't explain ANYTHING. But avoiding an infinite regression by asserting (without the support of valid logic and verifiable evidence) a Creator "outside of space, time, matter and energy," who is not subject to "any of the rules in this universe" is just as rationally repugnant for the same reason--it doesn't explain ANYTHING.
This Creator/Designer/God of yours is a null concept.
Since I (sort of) agreed with you, I guess it's your lucky day!Loki, I have no hope that Hollie will ever make such an argument so feel free to jump in her if you have some material.
