Excellent, so you understand and agree that when I say that my God the 'Creator' who is revealed scientifically in nature itself as we observe the world/universe around us, whether you believe the universe was created/evolved/poofed/hatched, that it is finite, and does not contain my God I am revealing to you who is Infinite, .. right?
I don't recall having ever agreed that the universe is finite. I have no clue whether the universe is finite or not.
The universe had a beginning and it was either Created (my claim) or it Big-banged (your understanding). Eternal can't have a beginning nor an end, or it is not eternal.
DI wrote:I'm also not even sure what defines the "universe". I don't think that scientists know either. But I have absolutely no reason to believe that the universe is finite.
It may go on forever, but if it had a start as I said was Created, or it big-banged, it is finite.
Look, we will have 'eternal life', either in hell, or in Heaven in the presence of our Creator God. Having been created, then given to live throughout eternity does not make us Eternal or infinite. It only allows us to live on throughout eternity.
DI wrote:Also, I may have spoken too soon in saying that there is a difference between the finite and the infinite by definition. When we think in terms of mathematics this is certainly not the case. For example, the set of natural numbers contains numbers, each of which is clearly finite. Yet the set itself is necessarily infinite. So here is a specific case where the finite becomes infinite naturally. But there is still a distinction be definition between what is finite, and what is infinite.
This is exactly what I am talking about, that if
finite could become
infinite, then we no longer could see any distinction, right?
Look, is the number
'1' finite or infinite? You agree it is finite. Now let's roll these numbers at the rate of an atomic clock, for lets say billions and billions of years.
Then stop.
Lets say the number is something like 10^2,000,000,000 power (too long to list here) no matter how big, but we still have a number, correct? Is this number
finite or infinite? There cannot be 'more then ONE Infinite, one is all we need, and One is all we have.
See what I mean? A finite
no-matter-what could never become infinite, nor could the Infinite become finite. This is how I see and understand our
'Infinite, Eternal Creative Mind I Am Who I Am God'. There can only be ONE, and we were created in His image.

So my Infinite God, the God who is also revealed in the Bible is NOT part of the finite created/evolved/poofed/hatched physical universe, .. agreed?
Why should I agree to this?
You haven't even demonstrated that your God revealed in the Bible exists, much less that its infinite. Infinite in what way? What does it mean for God to be infinite?
This is exactly why I asked that we agree on some ground rules. We have to establish a permanent definition for 'finite' and 'Infinite'. We cannot have them finite at one time and Infinite at other times. I believe you agreed that there must remain a distinction between the two, isn't that right?
Again, ... I am NOT, I repeat; "I am NOT revealing the God of the Bible". Do you see me use scripture? We are talking science and mathematics so far, I did not use Scripture. I was just telling you that the Bible describes a God who is One as I have imagined.
For now let's just stick with science, mathematics, philosophy, and once we reach a common ground on definitions of words, we can go into the deeper wisdom of God, or knowing God as
Creator, and if it is possible for an Eternal and Infinite being to exist, and to create? And how is it that He can create since He is invisible? For now, lets establish some basic rules so we don't flip-flop back and forth on definitions.
(I know, some Christians will say or quote scripture where it say that we are not to argue, debate, quarrel about 'definitions of words', and if what I am doing here is what that really means, then Lucifer IS God, since the Bible even says he is the god of this world. So why argue about it right? Just accept that Lucifer is God so you don't go against Gods Word right? .. oh yea, they already did accept Lucifer, in the form of the Trinity, and in the plural demon form the one called; Legion.)

I reserve the right to decide that until after you have "revealed" a God.

Oh boy, .. now you make me wish I had more schooling where I could use bigger words to cover a greater area. But I still believe that the simple way is the best and the only way we can cover this.
DI, if I revealed 'a' God, it would be finite. You are still waiting for me to pick from one of your tens of thousands of gods that you have heard of and understand as gods.
You are supposed to make sure that I am revealing an Infinite, Eternal God as I promised. If we don't have a common understanding and agreement that finite can never be Infinite, then ANY god/gods will suffice. And then what? Then we're back to square one.
DI wrote:arian wrote:
Great, and I also agree that there is other definitions of 'time'. I understand this entropic time only relates to decay from something that was originally perfect and built to last throughout IN eternity.
I certainly don't agree that we can know this to be true, but I'll entertain the possibility that something eternal may indeed exist that gave rise to our physical existence. And our physical existence does appear to be finite. I'll grant this appearance as well. Even though we can't actually know this to be fact.
You agree to this DI because it is the only thing that makes any sense, .. for now anyways, right? That something Eternal which would eliminate infinite regress, must have created the finite. This is logic, and science should be logical. We are not using religion, or the blind faith religions require for their followers to worship their god/gods and creators.
And here is where my claim has to come true, that I CAN and will reveal to you a scientifically and mathematically possible Eternal and an Infinite God, as Zzyzx Post says, arian to present;
"Undeniable and Scientific evidence of the Creator". A logical scientific explanation as I said many times; "Just as Newton did for 'gravity'."

It could never be part of your 'evolving universe (Big Bang) theory since it effects the most quantum particles which observably have a very short lifespan. The universe had to be created without entropy time because even after only 6,000 years of its introduction, the universe with everything in it, stars, planets biological life is dying, falling apart, burning out.
Nothing you said in your above paragraph makes any sense to me at all.
I have no clue why you are suggesting that an eternal source of the universe could not have created the Big Bang to evolve precisely as we have observed this universe to have evolved. And over the time scales of billions of years.
WHO, .. who observed a 13.5 billion year evolution?
Outside of religious claims, please my dear friend (even if you do refuse to come and party with me, I'll even cook. And get Joey K to come too and we could share some of his 'private stash moonshine', umm, .. not that he has a still or anything!!!

, .. please show me how someone so Intelligent and powerful would create a quantum speck of whatever and just allow it to be as it may, and create what it will through no plan or design of His. Why would an Eternal Creator build in entropy and chaos into this quantum speck and wait for chance and time to see what will happen to it? It doesn't make any sense? This is not how even a simple man like me would give 'evolution' even the slightest chance. Entropy, chance, chaos and time does NOT make 'evolution', quite the opposite. But entropy, chaos, chance in time WILL destroy a well designed universe and everything in it.
And entropy starting from where? From the Planck Epoch for 13.75 billion years? Come on, now that takes some really
blind faith to swallow.
DI wrote:I also see no justification for your claim that the universe had to have been created without entropy time. I also see no justification for your reference to 6000 years.
OK, I'm just going by what I can observe scientifically, and I have observed that things rust, decay and die in time. Now if we took entropy out, well things would remain as they were created. If things improved, it would be because of what we do from intelligent design as we see to day, cities, phones, TV's, cars, plains etc. Or if God intervened and made things better. Other wise even the things we create in hopes to last eventually fall apart, .. in a very short time at that.
We have no idea how long the universe existed before the Creator introduced entropy (Fall of Adam), all we have is that it was introduced about 6,000 years ago, or after the fall. But because this is not about time and entropy and whether or not there is a purpose for the universe, but to reveal our Creator, well have to let this go for now.
DI wrote:And I see no justification for your claim about stars planets, and biological life falling apart. Sure stars are born and die all the time. Some stars are burning out, some stars are just being born, and clearly there are nebula and clouds of gas where new stars will form far into the future. These processes also take millions or billions of years, not merely 6000 years which would be a blink of an eye in cosmic time.
Our planet Earth contains heavy elements. Therefore some star had to have lived for millions or possibly billions of years before exploding and making heavy elements available for the Earth to form. Then it would have taken even many more millions of years for that material to form our sun and earth.
Again, this is not about religion and what you believe may have happened, and why you believe stars are being born all the time without evidence, this is about me proving that a Creator exists, and that He is Infinite and Eternal.
This is about observation remember, scientific observation. In the past 6,000 years we know of entire nations/cities disappearing off the face of the earth to decay, and even in my short lifetime I have observed the effects of entropy. My parents are long dead, and so are all their ancestors. We have to work real hard to keep entropy destroying our homes, our cars, and ourselves, and even with all the hard work of upkeep, it prevails. So why would this observable fact be limited to this tiny rock called Earth?
Again, neither of us can claim what happened billions of years ago, or what will happen billions of years from now, .. but have to go by what we have observed so far and what has been recorded in history.
Clearly the universe is far older than 6000 years. The scientifically discovered age of about 13.7 billion years makes the most sense in terms of physics.
The age of the universe and the earth is from the moment entropy was introduced, and according to history and honest scientific observation, it is about 6,000 years ago, so the earth and the universe is 6,000 years OLD. Not that it couldn't of existed tens of thousands of solar years before that, but before the fall it wasn't getting old. I am looking at this from actual verifiable evidence, evidence that even in my lifetime I have observed.
Now if you say that some physicists claim that they have 'observed' billions of years of evolution, I will honestly have to say it cannot be true. (religionists don't like to be called liars. It is hard to accept fallacy in something you worked so hard to convince yourself to believe!) It is based on faith derived from religion. Remember religion doesn't have to do with God or gods. These religious guys make up godless creators for the universe with billions of year old stories.
I can point to a bird flying in the sky and claim it used to be a cow. then make up a story from the cow to the bird and have my fellow church members who are with me on this within our so called; scientific circles add and build more to it. Let's keep fairytales and religious dogma out of this, please?

Only this God whom I imagined as the Creator seems to have sent messages through some people which they recorded in there.

The history with all those nations coming and going makes sense, the perfect creation makes sense, the fall and the introduction of entropy/decay and death makes sense, man created from dust and back to dust he goes makes sense, .. so I am convinced by all that verifiable evidence in the Bible that the God of the Bible is God, the Creator of all things.
The fact that you have been convinced by Hebrew mythology that some God exists does has not "revealed" anything to me other than the fact that you appear to be easily impressed by Hebrew mythology. I have read Hebrew mythology too and I am not impressed.
In fact, I am extremely convinced that it is indeed nothing more than man-made superstitious mythology. It isn't even moral, IMHO.
But some scientists claiming they observed stars being born and dying, you believe? Or that they have evidence of a big-bang that happened exactly 13.75 billion years ago and can tell you how and what happened within microsecond of it's creation? Is this big-bang creator moral? Nope, it is called chaotic unplanned event without a purpose or will on anyone or anything.
I wanted to set a stage with our debaters help, where we call a spade a spade, not that lizards are birds, God can only be referred to in religion, the Bible is a religious book, .. and so on.
So do you have something to "reveal" or not? So far I haven't seen where you have revealed anything.
you'll have to come on stage first. I will not be pulled into your rabbit hole where after all this you just erroneously refer back to religion. You see on this stage you have to admit that God or the Bible does not equal to religion, and that religions will use whatever, including a piece of firewood to represent their god that laid an egg and created the universe.

Actually in Quantum Field Theory the Higgs "boson" is a disturbance in field. It's not actually a particle. They call it a "
particle" because that's a hangover from tradition. The field can act like a particle in certain situations.
It's extremely scientific.
Do you mean 'extremely difficult'?
Extremely religious?
Extremely protected? You know, like the Trinity Doctrine.
I understand, don't think I don't. Its a particle that acts like a particle at times, and a disturbance field at other times. It is everywhere but they don't know how many exists.
My question would be; Exists in where, in this already created universe where they are observed everywhere? Or in that space before space existed? I too would be interested as to how many Higgs bosons exist out there beyond our universe getting ready to Big-bang? and if we should be worried about their sudden expansion in 'no-thing' and suddenly find ourselves in duel dimensions where our Spacetime is suddenly injected with another Spacetime!
OR, .. if they are everywhere within our universe, there may be danger they may BB here? We have to do something about all these Higgs bosons because we KNOW, we know that if we don't do anything they will Big-bang. That the only way they Big-bang is without any will or act or plan on anyone or anything. So quick, do something anything just keep them from Big-banging!

Also the Big Bang theory is not dependent upon the Higgs particle.

That's right, if I was to take science and become a Physicist, and proved that the Higgs boson is a fairytale like 'special relativity is', it would not change or effect the Big-bang Evolution theory, which was also invented hundreds of years ago by a religious Priest/Monk.
So you don't believe in Special Relativity either? Does this also conflict with your God of the Bible?

We have debated that out of the water already in my post "Theory of Relativity", it flickered a few times, then just died.
Why do you feel that science has to be all wrong? You seem to be implying that science must be all wrong in order for the God of the Hebrew Bible to be true.
Science is the observance of the world and the Universe around us. I see nothing wrong in or with science observing the world around us and reporting on the beauty, complexity and wonder of its creation. But when some religious folk who worship Deities, and plural gods come up with a story that what I am observing is really a quantum speck of Higgs boson that is expanding in "No-Thing", and that these Higgs bosons are 'everywhere', I say; "This is no longer science." I love science, but this is not science, just like the same religious folk invent gods that are not God.
I ask that we leave religion out of it, but you keep bringing it right back into our debate, and even expressing how you believe in these myths and fairytales.
God can ONLY be true through science. But you know, you all know every religious one of you that if you admit to the existence of THE Creator of the Universe, Earth and man, then your religion is dead. So since you cannot abandon your religion and their billions of year old make believe stories that you have been propagating all these years.

With all due respect you're starting to sound extremely paranoid that everyone, including Christians and religious people are out to purposefully distract people away from God. Why should that be?

Christians are religious people, and as I have shown they worship other gods that are not God. I am not paranoid, but religions are paranoid of the truth that reveals who their gods really are. The Christian Pope Francis has clearly announced who the god is, it is no longer kept as a secret of the church.

I agree absolutely.

And if you listen to the Priest/prophets of these theories like Richard Dawkins and Stephen Hawking for instance, they are actually very clear against any Creator-God concept.

As far as I'm concerned that's all the proof we need to know that there is no intelligent God associated with the Bible.
Have you ever noticed that nothing this God has ever done in the Bible has ever solved a problem?

"Dr. I have a problem, and it itches and burns!"
