I'll explain it to you (well not really).
You see, something must have been eternal for us to exist.
Nothing can be eternal unless that something is God.
Therefore God exists.
No, I am not joking lol - that's the whole theory in a nut shell (key word "nut"). That's as far as the logic bus goes. You'll have to catch a train from there.

When we see the word "God" (capital 'G'), we assume you mean the God of the Old and New Testament...

Well God is Eternal and Infinite. That is the definition of our God. God is the name we have given the source of Infinity and Eternity. "God is the Eternal and Infinite source"
Now God is just the name we have given the source. Remember that

Because I want to know how god just shows up in your equation. If it bothers you that I am asking. Anyone else that likes your idea can tell me. I am not trying to be a jerk for fun. I just like the actual question that I ask addressed. If you do not have the conviction to make sense of what you say, try not to say so much.

"how" blind can I be?
Well technically, I'm legally blind!
Ba dum tisch! (that's the drums incase you couldn't tell )

So then you wouldn't mind me calling this source "pink unicorns"?
So does that mean that pink unicorns exist?
Answer me that.

The inadequacies in this case apply to you by not intergrating the Definition of the Term God the OP uses to help explain the premise of his opinion in the OP. Please try and keep up. It is realy not that difficult is it.

I heard him say that God is eternal and infinite. That much is obvious.
In what way am I not keeping up?
If it is "just a name" he attaches to the "source", then I could call that source "pink unicorns" and claim that pink unicorns exist - but am I really claiming that pink unicorns exist? Of course not - I'm claiming that something is infinite and that I call that pink unicorns.
Similarly, did the OP explain that the Jewish God exists?
No more than pink unicorns (the pink unicorns I'm referring to are eternal and infinite in case you didn't know).
You missed my entire point - that being that HIS entire point requires a MASSIVE assumption.
Congratulations .

You are hearing voices from text on a screen. Umm, ok.

Why infer that his term of God is the same one of christian or jewish doctrine and dogma?

Of course you can, But this is not your thread is it, the OP clearly states what he believes the Source is and what its nature is. If you would like to put forth why it is more likely a pink unicorn than do so.

So now he need to explain another belief too? Why does he, to satisfy you?
Similarly, did the OP explain that the Jewish God exists?
How is it an assumption that something had to exist before the universe. If science tells us that the universe was the result of an event from a singularity?

If Infinity or Eternal dident exist Neither would God.
The universe could be finite in imaginary time but without boundaries or singularities. When one goes back to the real time in which we live, however, there will still appear to be singularities. ... Only if we lived in imaginary time would we encounter no singularities.... in real time, the universe has a beginning and an end at singularities that form a boundary to space-time and at which the laws of science break down.

Originally posted by atlasastro
There are two options. The universe was already here, eternal and infinite or it was created. Science is pointing towards creation via the sngularity.The OP chooses this view of creation. He then looks at the Source of that creation and expresses his opinion that we view that source as God. And that he believe that this source must be infinite and eternal- this too is a logical assumption otherwise we have to move to another cause of the original cause and a cause for that and so on and so forth. Its quite easy to understand.
Originally posted by atlasastro
You then introduce your assumption that it is the christian view, or jewish view. The OP makes no reference to these. So instead of argueing his assumptions, you introduce your own?

in this case we have non-theists replacing the God of the Gaps with Chance of the Gaps via the theory of Random fluctuations within the primeval radiation field and infinite Chance.

To deny that a Infinite source dont exist or that it cant do anything.
Is more a limite of mind and thinking then anything. That means you dont understand.
Why cant Infinite work but Finite can.
