God Must Exist: Infinite Regression is Impossible

[We_Are_VENOM]

[Bust Nak]

My statements re time is that time is not a fundamental part of reality. If you are asking me questions which veer away from those statements...

You asked me this: "how can time physically exist" remember?

You did introduce the 'clock' as part of your argument, remember?

Yes, as evidence that time is a part of physical reality, a dimension just like space.

The clock represents "our perception or experience of time"

You believe that, I don't. I believe time is a part of physical reality.

The confusion obviously has to do with thinking that the passing of time [which is believed to be fundamental to the position of the human mind experiencing this universe] therefore, has to be fundamental to the universe itself.

You kept equating our perception of time with time itself, not me.

I believe time is a part of physical reality.

Fine. So long as you are not saying that time is fundamental to physical reality.

You came in here and made a claim,...

Support for your claim above, is required.

I think energy and spirit are distinct things.

Okay.' This is apparently also what JWs think.

One With Him: Of course the Spirit is not God. It emanates FROM God, like power emanates from an electrical facility. The power is not the electrical facility.

William: The Energy itself is NOT intelligent, but the Facility which produces the Energy IS, and is GOD?

Can you give reason for why you think this? Is it similar to the one given by onewithhim?

I gave you information re the Mandelbrot Set being shown to display infinite regression and infinite progression. The reasoning has already been 'laid out'. Your thoughts on it [even as a concept unsighted] in regard to my own [already mentioned] are welcome.

You did not lay the reasoning out.

I did in an earlier post, but will remind you again.

The fact that we have a visual representation in the Mandelbrot Set - not only of infinite regression but also of infinite progression - shows us that it is possible.
Therefore the thread title "Infinite Regression is Impossible" is shown to be incorrect.

re Q: Do we exist within a creation?
If you want to add to that, the idea that GOD has always existed, then the visual representation in the Mandelbrot Set serves as a confirmation that this is also possible.

"God Must Exist because Infinite Regression is Impossible" is false reasoning.
