Let’s test that. What evidence do you have that unicorns exist?You have mostly been respectful and courteous during our discussion. And I’m sure you believe you have been forthcoming and honest. I have no doubt you believe what you say. But it isn’t logical to believe that the existence of unicorns is just as likely as the existence of a creator and it isn’t logical to believe you have evidence to prove a negative. So while you believe you are being honest about those beliefs it just doesn’t make any sense to actually believe those things.And my point is that it isn’t just as likely as unicorns existing. For you to consider the possibility of the existence of a creator to be like unicorns is illogical. I can make a case for the existence of a creator. A rather compelling argument no less. I can’t make an argument for a unicorn.Do you see a reason why God doesn’t exist? Because you believe that, right? You don’t have a reason to believe one way or another yet you have chosen to believe one way, right?
I have a rational reason why God created space and time. Is that good enough?
I have repeatedly said I believe it's possible that a god might exist just like unicorns might exist. Virtually anything is possible. I don't have any reason to believe that is the case, and I have no reason to modify my behavior because of the possibility that either one is real.
No one is asking you to modify your behaviors. You have free will just like everyone else. We are all subject to the consequences of our actions. At any point in our lives we are the sum of our choices. So whether one believes in God or not that will still be the case. But the practical benefits of faith far outweigh the benefits of no faith. Such that having no faith is irrational.
And no, not everything is virtually possible. Only the things which are potential under the physical, biological and moral laws of nature are possible. Furthermore, the potential existed before space and time existed because the laws of nature existed before space and time.
The reality is that you don’t have any reason to believe God doesn’t exist, but you do.
I have been very forthcoming and truthful on this subject. I have seen lots of evidence that seems to indicate that no god exists, but i haven't made that decision...yet. Don't try to put words into my mouth. I have no idea what might have existed before space and time, or if space or time might have had a beginning.
You are free to believe what you will. I have seen no more believable proof that a god exists than that unicorns exist.
What evidence do you have that a creator created space and time? Wouldn’t space and time be evidence? I’m sure you can debate whether or not God created space and time but the reality is there is literally evidence that can be debated. So whether or not you agree that the evidence supports the existence of God a great many people do accept this evidence.
That just isn’t the case for unicorns. So it is 100% illogical for you to equivocate the two.
