Existence Of God Is Plausible But Is It True?
Precisely my point. Metaphysical notions cannot be tested in a rigorous manner. So, it is hard to know whether you have made a mistake since there is no external data point to confirm or dismiss it. You asked how can something come from nothing. I believe you are referring to the universe coming into existence from nothing therefore having a begining. First of all It is not entirely clear that universe had a begining despite the whole “Big bang” Pop science talks. You can confirm this, do not take my word for it. Now, let me give you some alternate explanations for the origin which do not include a God. 1) No boundary universe by Hawking : Spacetime is like a Sphere which is compact i.e has no begining or end , it is just circular. 2) Roger penrose has his version of cyclical universe 3) DeWitt’s idea that near the bigbang, length scales and time scales becoming extremely small and therefore quantum effects creep in which would make the whole notion of causality nonsensical, so the question of origin does not even come up. It becomes invalid in some sense. The purpose of all this detail is nothing more than to convey the point that the universe is extremely complicated and we know very little about it. Therefore, to conclude anything about its origins would be being too hasty or too arrogant in some cases. God is a very plausible explanation of most facts of the universe but it is not the only explanation and it can be wrong.
