UltimateReality said:This statement has be repeated over and over by Hollie but it is NOT a logical requirement of Theism. This atheist cut and paste argument in the fallacious application of the statement "A BEGINNING necessitates a CAUSE." However, the Christian form of Theism teaches that the Judeo-Christian God has always existed, and predates the Big Bang. Since the Judeo-Christian God exists eternally backwards and forwards, and has no beginning, there is no logical reason that He should require a cause, and therefore, he also does not require a creator. The Christian God has always existed and was never created. Atheists seem to ignore this fact continually. We are talking about religious theology. And these claims about God's pre-existence and having no beginning are outlined in the Christian Holy Book the Bible. So obviously, when atheist refer to a god that requires a creator, they cannot logically be referring to the Christian God as described in the Bible. This is what happens when folks on the internet cut and paste statements from atheist propaganda websites without a full understanding of the logic behind the arguments they are cutting and pasting.
The appeals to supernaturalism are cut and asted over and over by my stalker. He will make claims to his gods being uncaused, existing eternally, etc., etc., because it excuses the fundies from the discipline of reason and rationality.
Instead of the "christian god" as used by my stalker, substitute "The Easter Bunny".
According to my stalker, a "logical requirement" for "The Easter Bunny" flows along the lines of: Since "The Easter Bunny" exists eternally backwards and forwards, and has no beginning, there is no logical reason that He ("The Easter Bunny" -ed.) should require a cause, and therefore, he also does not require a creator. The "The Easter Bunny" has always existed and was never created.
It's all very logical in the weird and twisted world of "The Easter Bunny'ists"
I guess when you are in it, you don't see how foolish you really look. Your argument about a creator begetting a creator assumes a creator. So you choose to assume whose creator? If you are going to argue against the Christian Creator, then follow the common teachings about the Christian Creator, i.e., he has ALWAYS existed. This really isn't that hard. If you want to argue about the Easter Bunny, then you need to pick which Easter Bunny you are going to argue against and then for that Easter Bunny, attack the tenets and teachings widely accepted for that particular Easter Bunny. Please tell me you really aren't this stupid to apply the Easter Bunny logic to a Christian Creationist argument that you are attempting to dismantle? Your continued ignorance in this realm just shows your unfamiliarity with the four commonly accepted worldviews: Materialism, Theism, Deism, and Pantheism. Your creator of the creator argument can only logically be applied to Deism or Pantheism.
I just started to read Stephen Meyer's Signature In The Cell again and I am amazed at what a thoughtful and accurate account it is of the current schools of thought regarding origins. Again, what amazes me about you, Daws, and Loki is the fact that you are so brainwashed in your worldview that you don't take the time to actually read an opposing viewpoint. Your ramblings trying to tear down ID sound like a child, because you have never actually explored what it is you are fighting against. I study current evolutionary thought quite regularly, devoting as much time reading about it as I do reading about ID. I have embarrassed Loki with is ignorance of what modern evolutionary theory teaches. Like you, he is hopelessly left cutting and pasting from wiki and atheist websites, but isn't familiar with many new claims of current evolutionary thought. It's not surprising that he hasn't read a book on ID like Signature In The Cell. You and he rely on what others with an agenda have to say about it, and like sheep, you put your blind trust in internet atheist haters rather than exploring things on your own.
Pathetic.
Yes. That really was pathetic.
You still haven't resolved the obvious contradiction whereby you lead your argument with a falsehood and then continue to invent falsehoods built upon falsehoods.
So correct. That really was pathetic.
