Apologies are in order. I don't know whos post I read but it wasnt the OP you wrote.I say its long winded because the explanation complicates something that isnt complicated. Einstein always said....I was saying the OPs long winded explanation had nothing to do with my reasons for agreeing with the title. If you look at the representation of everything on the planet its in fractals. That has to or had to be a conscious choice.Look around you. BTW I didnt say god. I said creator.
I know God the Creator exists, but earlier you went on about a long-winded something or another as if the line of logic regarding God's existence were irrelevant. That line of logic specifically nails down the "look around you" as it were.
Yes, I know what fractals are, and like you I too appreciate the theological implications. But that's doesn't explain why you're characterizing the direct line of logic regarding the principles of eternalism and sufficient causation as long-winded. That's ridiculous.
Nonsense! The OP in a nutshell is this:
The Universe began to exist. That which begins to exist must have a cause. The only sufficient cause of its existence is God.Explaining to the average adult, let alone to the average child, what fractals are in the first place and then explaining how they evince God's existence is an immensely more complex endeavor. As for the average child, it's inevitably futile, and to sensible adults it's, indubitably, a long-winded way around—over the mountains and into the woods—to the obvious as compared to the above, which, as I have shown, can be summarized in three sentences.
I know what fractals are and grasp their theological implications. Now explain these things to the others. Be sure to grammatically render the paragraphs of your delineation carefully so as not to overcomplicate what is in fact a relatively complex matter for many.
LOL!
