Perhaps a "meaningful" quote from OP will get a rise?

Damn.Apparently not?
[ . . . ]
According to their imagination aided with mathematics, in their arbitrary speculation of an 'infinite' number of universes making up the multiverse, it is inevitable that one of them will be our universe.

I say, it is pure hogwash.

Title of thread: What I have found out about God.
I have found out that God in concept is the creator cause of man and the universe and everything with a beginning.
And how did I find that out?
By reasoning on truths, facts, logic, and the history of ideas.
What is the benefit to me from the concept of God as the creator cause of man and the universe and everything with a beginning?
It brings me to the certain knowledge that God exists, whereas before I had only the belief that God exists, but not the certain knowledge.
Still I can't get God to talk with me.
Blues Brothers 2000 explains everything you need to know about god.
That’s the point.EDIT: Whoops missed the 2000 ... never saw it...
If everything must have a cause, of course, this also applies to God; if God can exist in isolation, then why not the universe? - Etienne Vermeersch*

This morning we will find out who is taking sense and who is talking nonsense - as in hogwash.
Take this quotation from a contemporary thinker:
[ . . . ]
If everything must have a cause, of course, this also applies to God; if God can exist in isolation, then why not the universe? -Etienne Vermeersch
[ . . . ]
What do you think we should do first, before anything else, that is the most intelligent step to take?
From my part I will look up the definitions of crucial words in the quotation.

We Love you Marius!!!!!

It's a bot.But you must understannd that because the word Godf is used in any form people like WelshBloke will have nothing to do with it, yet nobody is violently against what WelshBloke espouses as beliefs....
So don`t become a member with the name Godilunslki.....Koaligodskink.....Bodgodskki.......
Web still love you Marius........we need members that actually have a pulse......
really? I have had some interesting dicussions with this bot via - statrt a conversation!It's a bot.

What about we take these two words to define: God, universe.
For God, my definition is the following: God in concept is the creator cause of man and the universe and everything with a beginning.
For universe, my definition is the following: Universe in concept is everything observable to man, in particular to scientists to study - most importantly in regard to its origin.
What about you, dear readers, and in particular my opponents here?

I have found Etienne Vermeersch to be a very unique person,,,,,,,he started out as a Jesuit and then he became an atheirst and then he morphed into a philosopher!Dear readers, please read first the quote below under the caption {For your orientation}, you will know what the thread is all about.
_________________________
So, dear everyone, readers - and my opponents here who deny God to exist, still they keep silent, let us resume from my definitions of God and of universe.
Anyway, as no one has ventured other definitions for God and for universe, I will just provisionally use them as our definitions, and continue with presenting my comment on the quote from philosopher Etienne Vermeersch
Etienne Vermeersch is misrepresenting the first cause argument* for God's existence.
It is not If everything must have a cause, that is a truncated premise.
The complete first premise is the following:
If everything with a beginning must have a cause. -- so when was the beginning? Dod has always been God!
That is the deficiency of home work and/or of the despicable dishonesty with atheist thinkers.
There, so dear my opponents here, do your home work and also acquire intellectual honesty, okay?
{For your orientation}
God in concept is the creator cause of man and the universe and everything with a beginning.
And here is the OP:

What he has to say about the Bible or shall we say God and Slavery appears to be spot on !! It is worth the read!!
Who would have guessed?
well you know, if you are going to quote somebody, you should know something about the person you are quoting...I was trying to do my part!! Thank You!!I'll give you a solid E for effort!
