"If there is no God, how did the universe begin?"?

Question

What do you think of this argument? Valid? Fallacious? Why?

Answer 1

intellectual suicide.......there's a whole lot of things that we don't know for sure....giving up on the knowledge by saying "God created it" is well....err...

Answer 2

Fallacious...assumes the universe needs a beginning.

Why do we assume there was nothing originally or there was an origin at all?

It is a fallacy of think to thing everything is cause and effect. If there is a gap in a fence and you see a cat pass...there was a head...some fur...and then a tail. You could categorize your observation by saying the head caused the tail (and there was nothing before or after). So how did the cat begin...but that is a fallacy. It was a cat passing by and that "nothing" is relative to there being a cat or not - not that there is actually nothing there (void).

There are too many holes in using the existance of the universe as proof of existence of God.

(I know God exists however)

Answer 3

Your question does not an argument make.

Essentially, you have made an ascertain that God created the universe and asked if it is a valid or true statement.

There are many theories of how this three dimensional version of the universe came into being, one of which is a divine being deciding to create it.

No human will be able to either prove or refute your assertion.

In the future, please try and ask answerable questions.

Answer 4

Fallacious, God's existence is neither provable or disprovable, belief in Him is a matter of faith and a freewill choice. Valid arguments can be made in favor of both creation and evolution. Study both and make your own decision.

Answer 5

It always runs afoul of the question, "How did God begin?" Once you get past all the cyclical argument that God is the exception because the exception has to be God, you start to see that the naturalistic argument for what might be external are simpler that the theistic ones.

Answer 6

It's fallacious. It doesn't matter if you can't think of how the universe began. That doesn't mean God exists.

Answer 7

Creation:
God is Creator of all things, and has revealed in Scripture the authentic account of His creative activity. In six days the Lord made "the heaven and the earth" and all living things upon the earth, and rested on the seventh day of that first week. Thus He established the Sabbath as a perpetual memorial of His completed creative work. The first man and woman were made in the image of God as the crowning work of Creation, given dominion over the world, and charged with responsibility to care for it. When the world was finished it was ``very good,'' declaring the glory of God. (Gen. 1; 2; Ex. 20:8-11; Ps. 19:1-6; 33:6, 9; 104; Heb. 11:3.)

Answer 8

Universe begins and exists without the need of a god. It is a false assumption.

Answer 9

I'll be happy to answer that question, just as soon as you tell me who made God.

After all, if you believe everything must have a beginning, then that goes for God too, right?

Answer 10

Well, you see there is this mindless, souless, automated process that implodes, goes crunch, explodes goes bang, does this over and over on a trillion year cycle and occasionally it throws a lucky 7 and makes Man!

Just don't ask were all the stuff it crunches came from. That's a don't ask question.

Answer 11

Chuck Norris roundhoused it into existance, duh.

You need to watch the holy tv series more often.
