tesla writes: and all science is based on the assumption of "objective reality. but it doesn't know what that is. so science is useless. All "objectivity" means in science is that anybody can do the same experiment and get the same result. That consensus is as close to "reality" as science tries to get. So, if you actually had a "creation model", it could be tested by Christians and atheists and Muslims and Jews and Hindus and they'd all get the same answer. The same answer doesn't have to be The Right Answer™ as long as it's useful and everybody agrees on it. “Faith moves mountains, but only knowledge moves them to the right place” -- Joseph Goebbels

tesla writes: chaos can be contained within order, but complete lack of order does not become order without direction. There really isn't that much difference between order and chaos. But the "direction" thing is your main problem here. I presume you mean to suggest that direction requires a director. That's where the whole "real reality" thing becomes a problem for you. It's fine to say that "reality is real", but unless you can show something in a practical, empirical way, it's just mental masturbation. If you're claiming a director/creator as part of your model, you have to show empirical evidence that such a thing exists. Your "logical conclusion" that there must be some such thing at the base of "reality" isn't useful. You need to demonstrate it.

IamJoseph writes: There is no alternative to monotheism. On the contrary, from a scientific viewpoint, monotheism is pretty unlikely. As you said yourself, "In fact ONE does not exist in the universe." There isn't ONE of anything else, so why would we expect to find only one god? “If you had half a brain, wouldn't you have realized after the second time, that it was you, not God?” -- riVeRraT “The endearing controvertist!

IamJoseph writes: quote: Before prefixing on the contrary, please give me a HOW any science can differ from this fact? Any and all science requires empirical evidence, repeatable observations, an objective consensus. Until such evidence can be produced for any god, science has no interest in theism. If there was evidence for one such entity, there would be no way of "proving" the negative proposition that there are no others.
where would the other counterparts come from? The same source as the first ONE. “If you had half a brain, wouldn't you have realized after the second time, that it was you, not God?” -- riVeRraT “The endearing controvertist! One needs to become acute in the ploys of his kind.” -- ThreeDogs

IamJoseph writes: Now please tell us how science can produce a universe.... Science doesn't "produce" universes. It only studies the existing universe.
IOW, we can repeat and test only that which has already been created from nothing - else you end up with no beginning and no causative factor - namely a cyclical contraption. Science doesn't need a "causitive factor". You do. You can't have a creation model without a creator and you have no objective empirical evidence for a creator. “If you had half a brain, wouldn't you have realized after the second time, that it was you, not God?” -- riVeRraT “The endearing controvertist!

IamJoseph writes: The retreat to IT JUST HAPPENED is unscientific, but has been taken on board by anti-creationists as a real science: This thread isn't about conventional science. It's about a creationist model. Calling conventional science "anti-scientific" does nothing to bolster your model - if you even had one. The fact is, conventional science describes the existing universe quite well - and quite usefully - without needing to understand the origin. But creationism can't do that. Creationism postulates a creator which pre-existed the creation. Based on your own postulate, you do need to go farther back in "time" than conventional science does. You do need evidence that your postulate has merit. “If you had half a brain, wouldn't you have realized after the second time, that it was you, not God?” -- riVeRraT “The endearing controvertist!

IamJoseph writes: Fact is, I got this conclusion from the Genesis model - but no one wants to acknowledge this - "BECAUSE"!? Because you haven't given us the chapter and verse. Don't say anything else in response. Just give us the chapter and verse.
This is the Genesis creation model, and IMHO, the only vindicated one on the table. Your humble and/or honest opinion is worthless. There is no Genesis creation model on the table. You haven't even shown an inkling of a clue that you have any vague notion of what a model is. “If you had half a brain, wouldn't you have realized after the second time, that it was you, not God?” -- riVeRraT (see context here) “The endearing controvertist!

IamJoseph writes: Nothing vague about the genesis model: Look at the screen: there is a singular particle [source unknown] - and nothing else save for the one particle; it explodes/expands in a flash of blinding light; from inside that particle, wherein is compressed 'all things', which start spewing out in all directions - harmogenously. We are one of the 'things' which spewed out, and we are somewhere within the expanded particle. Current size of that particle: of universal proportions. None of that is in Genesis. “If you had half a brain, wouldn't you have realized after the second time, that it was you, not God?” -- riVeRraT (see context here) “The endearing controvertist!

IamJoseph writes: You will find every correct scientific term emploayed today is represented and catered to in genesis - inclusing BB, EXPANSION, SPECIATION, ADAPTATION, etc. The point of this thread is not to hallucinate scientific findings in Genesis. It's to provide a creationist model. How do those things work in a creationist model? How are any of them relatable to a creator empirically? How do creationists explain those things differently from conventional science? “If you had half a brain, wouldn't you have realized after the second time, that it was you, not God?” -- riVeRraT (see context here) “The endearing controvertist!

tesla writes: then, something cannot "literally" come from nothing. it can "appear" to, but not "literally" be possible, because without something, nothing can be. So you're arguing that God can't exist. But how does that support a creationist model? “If you had half a brain, wouldn't you have realized after the second time, that it was you, not God?” -- riVeRraT (see context here) “The endearing controvertist!

tesla writes: what I'm saying is, since something cannot literally come from nothing, that whatever the "genesis" energy is, had to have intelligence to be able to exist in such a complex ordered form as the universe. That doesn't solve the coming-from-nothing problem. If God can exist contrary to the coming-from-nothing "law", then why couldn't a singularity? Or a tangerine? “If you had half a brain, wouldn't you have realized after the second time, that it was you, not God?” -- riVeRraT (see context here) “The endearing controvertist!

tesla writes: so whatever the genesis energy was, was before ALL things that ever were and just WAS. That doesn't solve your problem. You claim that nothing can come from nothing and then you claim that one thing must always have been. Why couldn't more than one thing always have been? If you're going to postulate a "law" and then special-plead an exception to the law, how do you prevent other exceptions? “If you had half a brain, wouldn't you have realized after the second time, that it was you, not God?” -- riVeRraT (see context here) “The endearing controvertist!

tesla writes: it didnt "come from nothing" it always "was" if it wasnt. nothing else would be. That's my point. How can you determine what "it" was? Why does "it" have to be God? Why couldn't "it" be something else? “If you had half a brain, wouldn't you have realized after the second time, that it was you, not God?” -- riVeRraT (see context here) “The endearing controvertist!

tesla writes: the "it" is :pure genesis energy of all things. intelligent. created from its singularity. You have shown no evidence for any of that. And you've shown no connection between any of that and "creation".
singular and created: act of faith. This isn't the "Act of Faith" forum. You need to provide evidence that any of your fairy tale actually happened.

tesla writes: the evidence is staring everyone in the face. because we definitely are. and are energy. nothing outside energy is real. There's no evidence of that staring anybody in the face. If there was evidence, you'd be able to present some.
so how can anything exist at all. it did. and its ordered. its beautiful. And I'm still asking: How do you know that the "it" has anything to do with "creation". A creation model can't just postulate an "it" and claim all things came from "it". You need to show the connection. “If you had half a brain, wouldn't you have realized after the second time, that it was you, not God?” -- riVeRraT (see context here) “The endearing controvertist!
