It’s hard to argue against the idea that existence is purely random and that all forms of existence are absolutely possible (why wouldn’t they be?). We just happen to live in a universe that seems logical.

>>13292479
they're right
nothingness is in opposition with being, and being is the stronger force.

The absurdity lies in the inherent absence of structure during the collision of two forces, and us, as unintended byproduct.

Pure chance, something never "Needed" to happen

>> No.13292627

>>13292600
That makes no sense at all. Assuming the world is not eternal, there must have been a state of nothingness in the past. In this state of nothingness being could not have been as you say "a stronger force" because being, strength, and forces do not exist under nothingness.

Theres a perfect logical answer for that i read it on a lit thread months ago but i forgot to save it and forgot the answer, but i know that it makes sense that theres something rather than nothing, lurk for similar questions in the lit archives you'll find the answer

do we have any reason to believe this though? physicists are pretty sure the big bag arose out of a preuniversal medium, there are at least a half dozen competing models of what that would look like

It is therefore true that God makes the world by calculating, but his calculations never work out exactly [juste], and this inexactitude or injustice in the result, this irreducible inequality, forms the condition of the world. The world 'happens' while God calculates; if the calculation were exact, there would be no world. The world can be regarded as a 'remainder', and the real in the world understood in terms of fractional or even incommensurable numbers. Every phenomenon refers to an inequality by which it is conditioned. Every diversity and every change refers to a difference which is its sufficient reason. Everything which happens and everything which appears is correlated with orders of differences: differences of level, temperature, pressure, tension, potential, difference of intensity.

I don’t think you understand. Let me explain. You made the claim that “god doesn’t exist.” In other words, you believe that God does not exist. But how do you justify this claim? Where is your proof? Is your wiring so outdated that you think this is the same as simply not believing in God, asking the theist to provide proof for his claim? It is now YOU who has made the claim, so where is your proof?

>> No.13293070

It's a bad question. Prove to me that there's not a Dodge Ram floating around in some part of the universe. Or do you just "not believe in" the floating car?

You posit that a Dodge Ram may/may not exist in space. I am asking you how it got up there. You refuse to even engage with the question. What am I to think of this Dodge Ram? The single proponent of it's existence probably wouldn't even dare speculate as to its colour. It's existence is growing unlikelier by the minute.
