If it is absurd to belive no one made the universe, isn't it absurd to belive no one made God??! Read details

Question

Believers always say that the atheists are wrong and that if we look around us we should ask our selves"who made all this? this universe means proves the existance of a higher power which created it". It ois absurd to believe that the universe came out of nothing, for everything must have a creator.
But, applying the same logic, isn't it equaly absurd to believe that this creator came out of nothing? isn't it equally logical to believe that he, too, must be made by a higher creator? and so on, and so on!!!

If you disagree with this logic then why? on what basis? Why is it a must for the mind to refuse that the universe have existed for ever , or came out of nothing, or never had a creator while it is also a must for the same mind to belive that God came out of nothing, had no creator, or existed for ever!!!
How could we apply such double standards and still call this logic?
Or is the creator a totaly illogical idea which we were brought up not to realise how absurd it is?

Why is it absurd to belive the universe made itself, while we find it acceptable to believe that god made himself! think about it

If your answer is based on asking me not to think too much about God, then you would be implying that the concept of god can not be accepted mentaly or logicaly, so beware :)

Answer 1

You've hit the nail on the head: creationists cannot answer this question, and will instead resort to name-calling, semantic games, bad logic, and non-answers.

The fact is that the universe may have been created by some god, but as an explanation, it's a complete non-starter. It doesn't explain anything at all, and in fact only makes the problem much harder.

Answer 2

I am Rational Spirituality Christianity,

Of course, the Subjective God, the one that the Religions portray, had been created, same as the rest of the Universe, and as part of it.

My belief, Rational Spirituality available on the Dhaxem website perfectly logically explains this.

Answer 3

I think that no one made God. I think that the origin of the universe is beyond our human understanding - It therefore does seem to me to be absurd to 'believe' anything - when we know so little that what we know is a negligible quantity and what we do not know is infinitely great.

The fool says; "I believe anything, I blindly follow my leaders and my religion because I know everything there is to know and need not question."

The scholar says; "I believe only that which can be proven."

The honest man says; "I begin to understand how little I knew, for what I believed has often proven false."

The wise man says nothing, questions all things and accepts what the universe reveals.

Answer 4

yea true scientifically speaking the universe was created by a boom, and religiously speaking a god created a universe,

back when they wrote the bible to control people because people were stupid and would belive anything, if you look at the bible today you can see many flaws in it that can show that they wrote stories of great fiction, such as adam and eve, that story is phsyically incorrect, we evolved from monkeys who evolved from other species, adam and eve encourage incest which today, is proven to cause so many problems in so many levels, the bible is completly inaccurate, if god truly existed then he obviously isnt watching over this world , unless hes laughin at us and feeling proud over all the deaths in his name and wars in his name, and the priests molesting children, o boy hes real proud his represenitives are behaving this way. no faith no sin

Answer 5

For the souls that discover no solace interior the stillness that comes from meditation in such disciplines mutually with yoga there is the form of this curious habit of a sport I call "the place did I come from?" For that soreness exists many sources of counsel. attempt the Urantia e book and notice if that would not help stimulate you in the direction of the respond es you seek for.

Answer 6

In as much as I was not around to see how everything came into being (and neither were you),I say, "I don't know ..... YET!" To assume that some god, my less than intellectual ancestors made up, instantaneously farted the universe into being, is absurd

Answer 7

Forget about god -- we're left with the fundamental mystery of something always existing. Keep god in and we're left with god always existing. Take god out and postulate a cosmology of beginningless/endless cycle of universe creation/destruction and we're still left with the same problem: this cycle/process always existing. And when we think about it, we realize this cycle/process has within it the mechanisms that result in sentience. My friend thought that by taking God out of the equation that he had it solved -- only when I spent a great deal of time bringing his mind to the real problem did he finally get it -- and he started to glimpse the implications (which can be very scary). But it's only for those who are willing to spend a great deal of time thinking about it....

Answer 8

No. At some point one has to accept life came from someone, or something; to a Christian that someone is God.

Answer 9

but Christians believe God made the universe and all beyond.
God was not made....He always existed and will always exist....
a FACT that finite humans have much trouble grasping.
"The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned."
1 Corinthians 2:14 (New International Version)
Merry Christmas to you!

Answer 10
