For those of you who ask, "who created God?" . . .?

Question

That's like asking, "To whom is the bachelor married?" Illogical, but I'll humor you anyway and try to answer that question.

The Law of Cause and Effect states that everything that has a beginning has a cause. I think we all agree that the universe has a beginning. Therefore, it has a cause. Also, Einstein’s general relativity, which has much experimental support, shows that time is linked to matter and space. So time itself would have begun along with matter and space. So if God created the universe, then he created, and thus is not restricted to, time.

Assuming, however, that the "Big Bang" was the cause, who created that? According to the Laws of Thermodynamics, the most fundamental laws of the physical sciences, the total amount of mass-energy in the universe is constant, neither being created or destroyed, and the amount of energy available for work is running out rather than increasing, or entropy is increasing to a maximum. Thus the theorized "Big Bang" is impossible.

Also, if the total amount of mass-energy is limited, and the amount of usable energy is decreasing, then the universe cannot have existed forever, otherwise it would already have exhausted all usable energy — the ‘heat death’ of the universe. For example, all radioactive atoms would have decayed, every part of the universe would be the same temperature, and no further work would be possible.

So the obvious corollary is that the universe began a finite time ago with a lot of usable energy, and is now running down.


Now, what if the questioner accepts that the universe had a beginning, but not that it needs a cause? But it is self-evident that things that begin have a cause — no-one really denies it in his heart. All science and history would collapse if this law of cause and effect were denied. So would all law enforcement, if the police didn’t think they needed to find a cause for a stabbed body or a burgled house.

Finally, the universe cannot be self-caused — nothing can create itself, because that would mean that it existed before it came into existence, which is a logical absurdity.

Answer 1

This isn't a question.

Answer 2

What's so difficult about not knowing? Sure, we don't know how or even IF the universe came into existence. Does this automatically mean that God did it? Of course not... you are simply inventing an answer for an unsolved question without the support of evidence. Why you threw that thing in about law enforcement i have no idea...

Anyway... engergy is derived from reactions. Forces do not rely on energy. Matter cannot be created or destroyed. With these facts in mind you could hypothisize that if energy is extinguished from one body all that need hapen to recreate that engery is for the matter required to create said energy to end up together in the universe by a force such as gravity or inertia. Who knows, the big bang could have been but one in a series of big bangs that have happened and will happen in the history of the universe... a history without begining or end. Remember that we have a finite experience of the world around us... we cannot fathom something without begining or end (unless we make it up [God]). Perhaps the universe and all matter within it has in fact existed forever and has no beginning or end and the big bang was merely one of these reactions that took place in our "neighborhood" of infinite space.

I am not an astrophysicist so i make no truth claim behind the above statement... however this seems far more likely and much more interesting to me than saying "oops, i dont know, god must have done it even though i have no real evidence to prove that he even exists."

Your God of the gaps theory has been tried and failed far too many times already. Saying "God did it" because you don't really know why it happened is a cop-out, a non-answer.

Furthermore you cannot claim that that the universe has a "cause" if you dont know for sure that it has a beginning.

Answer 3

Okay, am I mistaking in believing that "God", is part of the positive energy in the universe.

I personally call the originating of this energy "The Holy Spirit"...so in essence, "God", and all else that represents "good", is part of the Holy Spirit.

Regarding the Universe, I believe that it's been around forever now. Parts of the Universe dies out and life is born again by a certain star aligning up with some moon and a drop of water feel from the sky...etc., (an off the wall example), but life begins and ends (like the earth, which will die one day) and all this happens in the universe, like a big playground for the planets.

Answer 4

I agree with everything you have stated, all true. though I would have said, there cannot be an uncaused first cause, therefore something must have caused the Big Bang. As God exists beyond the reaches of time and space. He is the a priori "First Cause".

I think you probably lost a few people.

Answer 5

i believe in God

you are doing yourself and all potential believers in God a big disservice by trying to prove the metaphysical with the laws of physics

do not try to convert or win souls this way, Jesus told you not to, so please listen to him

YOU are commanded to be the light of the world and the salt of the earth and in this way people will get to know him

Science is here to explain nature, it only exists and most scientists will agree that it explains the "how" but not the "why"

be gentle and guide those around you to the doorstep, do not try to force them to the doorstep by force

Answer 6

Learn Hinduism..! you will get answer to these questions in Vedas. They are scintefic. You can reproduce the fact written in them. It will take 4 births for you to understand all of those facts. Still you can read Gita.. it is summary of all the Vedas

Answer 7

I didn't feel like reading the rest. Your first sentence was enough.

I lied. I peeked at the rest.

You're wrong. Existence has no beginning.

Answer 8

Just incohearant ramblings from people trying to justify their belief in something that doesn't exist.

There are no gods. Grow up, get over it.

Answer 9

are you going chicken and the egg on me? The end is the beginning, and vice-versa... Loop me on warp 10.

Answer 10

just because we don't know now does not mean we will never know.

1000 years ago mankind didn't know how to get to the moon or download songs for free, that doesn't mean we never learned.

Answer 11

So what's your question? Don't you have a personal website or some other place you can post this drivel?
