I spent the last few weeks salmon fishing on the west coast and didn't have internet. What a blast.
"That is nuts, do you know that?" ((uncreated self existent being))
What's nuts about it? Do you not believe that beings exist? Can non-beings believe anything? Who is asking the question in the first place?
"A scientist has to ask the logical questions of god:"
I think you have confused the Creator-creature dynamic. It's not God that needs to answer questions; even so, God graciously invites questions.
<"Come now, and let us reason together," Says the LORD, "Though your sins are as scarlet, They will be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They will be like wool.> Isaiah 1:18
"1) What is an uncreated being?"
We already know what a "being" is, so that leaves "uncreated". Yet you have posited an uncreated universe. So what's the big question, and what's so "nuts about that?
2) Is this existent being infinite?
Infinite is only possible with non physical entities That's why the physical universe cannot be infinite. God (OTOH) is Spirit.
3) And how is it that there is an uncreated god.
Coming from someone who has a philosophical background I find that to be an odd question. If anything exists now: then something or someone must have the property of being self existent and uncreated. You seem to think the impersonal, physical universe is a better candidate that a personal, non material being. The design and information that goes into making the Universe the kind of place that it is points dramatically to an intelligent Creator which you can't get from a material alone.
"Even more easy to believe because there is science pointing to infinity and something coming out of nothing,"
Easy for those with an agenda, I suppose, but hardy one that fits the facts. Something does not come from nothing. That is a philosophical and scientific axiom. Things can "appear" to come out of nothing just like in a magic show but sophisticated and intelligent people know otherwise. |
