Creationism, Big Bang & the Infinite Regress Argument

According to the infinite regress argument, any proposition requires a justification. However, any justification itself requires support. This means that any proposition whatsoever can be endlessly (infinitely) questioned, like a child who asks "why?" over and over again. Which is about how this argument is reproduced here! Until the creationist shorts it by introducing god.

People really need to know and understand the meaning of Atheism and Agnosticism. They are not mutually exclusive.

*Something can't come from nothing.*  
Where did god come?
*God was always here.  He is eternal.*
Well then, Why can't the universe be eternal?

Guy was wrong, the laws of gravity are descriptive

Great debate. No one hating. no one calling everyone is one stupid. A nice ideology debate showing the kindness of humans. VERY Rare.

Is it alright to keep jumping back and forth between proof and causality when discussing the infinite regress?

[SamCo]

Great video man, seemed like some serious intellectual brainstorming going down that day, keep up the good work!

Lol,
I love that, he says I've not been bringing any religion into this then the guy in the cap looks at the sign.
Quality.

Ths is what needs to happen everywhere in this country. The younger generations need to engage in respectful and civil debates with the older generations. Right now in America we are learning nothing from those who have made the mistakes before us and we just keep repeating them. Learn from your elders, please.

Gravity is not the glue that holds things together. Gravity reacts to mass and holds things loosely in comparison to the glue that holds the molecules of steel to each other. Does gravity hold the molecules of steel in place in relation to each other?

[henrytheman]

what does it mean to know any answers to the universe. I don't know and what if i don't care?  How does that make a claim of a GOD make ANY sense in explaining anything. were did god come from. Were is the evidence of this GOD?

The theist was arguing surprisingly well until he tried to unnecessarily introduce a (d)theist element. He several times,  made unfounded presupposition assertions,  in this argument context,  when he said "the infinite regress problem, which is a fallacy..." Many often presume there must be an absolute beginning by mischaracterizing infinite regress as reductio ad absurdum when it must instead be considered by default the null hypothesis in matters concerning ontology and epistemology. All things exist and begin within an ultimate existent reality but we cannot presume that ultimate reality may be finite.

The guy in the straw hat has an iq of about 10. He can't even understand what they are saying at regular speed. "Slow down slow down"

Morals require a moral law giver. A being who is Personal, Immaterial, Loving and Universal.

[BakdBan]

ok, well if that's the case then it's easy to understand God is.

1. Building-Builder, Painting-Painter, Creation-Creator

2. We don't live just in a material world. There are things like:

Maths-Immaterial, Universal, Unchanging

Logic-Immaterial, Universal,  Unchanging

Morality-Immaterial, Universal, Unchanging

God-Immaterial, Universal, Unchanging

actually there is no energy without Time. Before the big bang is not a question many physicists like to ask, because there was no time.

Raiden should have down upped his ass out of that conversation.

3. In order to make sense of the world around us, we need to trust our reasoning and senses. But first I need to know that my senses and reasoning are valid.

So how would i validate my senses? If I use my reasoning to reason that my reasoning is valid, that would be circular and self refuting.

If I told you I used my senses to validate my senses that would also be circular, and it would cancel itself out.

What about if a being from another planet/solar system, stands for the creation? That would be a logic assumption.

Not only do athiests not believe there is anything behind the curtain, they can't even see the curtain! If you were to stop believing in your god, what are you tought will happen?
