Ah, but what about when physical form has nothing to do with it? What about when weight and mass arent even factors in the slightest?

Hraesvelg 04-17-2009 04:07 PM

The example can be used when they aren't a factor, such as, can an omnipotent being create an equation even it cannot solve? The paradox remains.

Manzcar 04-17-2009 04:21 PM

Or can a universe be created from nothing.

Vasu 04-17-2009 04:40 PM

^ For an omnipotent being, that shouldn't be a problem, although, as shown here, omnipotence is impossible.

Jikanu 04-17-2009 04:42 PM

i think you just proved his point Vasu. without an omnipotent being, the universe couldnt have been created.

Manzcar 04-17-2009 04:42 PM

Well then in that case creation of a universe would be impossible as well.

Hraesvelg 04-17-2009 04:44 PM

That would be the Creationist view. The Big Bang appears to have resulted from a singularity. Admittedly, there is still much, much to be discovered about singularities in general and the Big Bang singularity in specific, but no one truly contends that everything came from nothing.

It's even hard to think about what might have caused the singularity, seeing as time and causality, by definition, couldn't have existed pre-Big Bang, at least as it relates to our universe. I have a sneaking suspicion that we're the result of another universe switching on their own Large Hadron Collider. The quantum foam idea is elegant, but still hard to grasp conceptually, much less actually test for it at this point.

No matter how far you go back, it had to start with something, Hrae. Explain pl0x?

Hraesvelg 04-17-2009 04:50 PM

Well, here's another fundamental difference beween our positions. I don't know. I'm willing to admit I don't know. I think it's possible we'll eventually discover it, but doubtfully in our lifetimes.

Ascribing it to a supernatural power and then speaking for said supernatural power is rank arrogance.

Jikanu 04-17-2009 04:52 PM

i dont speak for God o.o

you asked my beliefs, i told you... that's it.

But you do admit that at this point there is no evidence that disproves the existence of a deity, or proves the existance of any other possible means of a beginning?
