The Arrogance of Atheism

Theism: the belief that 13.7 billion years ago some atemporal, immaterial. but omnipotent, omniscient & omnipresent entity created a Universe of a 100 billion galaxies, containing 70 sextillion stars and 10^24 planets just so that after a time interval of 13.695 billion years a particular life-form could evolve on one of the planets to sing the praises of said entity. . 

Atheism: The belief that this is probably not true. 

The Counter Kalam Cosmological Argument.

Awkward questions for Theists - No.6

If in 100 billion years the Universe is cold, dark, lifeless what would this say about God? Is this his boredom limit? Was this the only cosmology model that would produce beings "in his image"? Or did he just get the fine-tuning slightly wrong? 

Supplementary question:- Is a God that can be bored, constrained in his creative abilities or error prone still a God?

Why there is something rather than nothing 2

The finite, infinite and eternal  

by Peter Lynds

Abstract

Many believe that the deep question of “why is there something rather than nothing?” is

unanswerable. The universe just is and no further explanation for its existence is

possible. In this paper I explain why this question must have an answer, and why that

answer must establish that physical existence is inescapable and necessary. Based on the

conclusion that if the universe is eternal rather than having a beginning some finite time

in the past, the universe has to exist rather than not because its possible non-existence is

never an option, such an explanation is put forward. As a logical extension of only an

eternal universe being capable of providing an answer to the question of why there is

something rather than nothing, the argument necessitates that the universe must be

eternal. The consequences of this conclusion for cosmology are then briefly discussed.

The Meaning of Life

Carl Sagan, 1934 -1996

“The significance of our lives and our fragile planet is then determined only by our own wisdom and courage. We are the custodians of life's meaning. We long for a Parent to care for us, to forgive us our errors, to save us from our childish mistakes. But knowledge is preferable to ignorance. Better by far to embrace the hard truth than a reassuring fable. If we crave some cosmic purpose, then let us find ourselves a worthy goal.” ~ Carl Sagan
