God Exists

Rebuttals:1. Argument for a personal causeAn intelligent being may not be the only source of the universe; energy does not DECIDE to exist. It just exists. Existence is not influenced by a decision. Since you are making the proposition that existence is influenced by an intelligent decision, I invoke Rule 2 and the Russel's Teapot Law to ask you to provide PROOF that existence is influenced by intelligent decisions. The existence of energy is inherent to gravity itself [Note 1]. According to the definitions of this debate, "omnipotence" is NOT the state of being "all-powerful", it is the "ability to perform ANY action" [Note 2]. Temperature is influenced by the variable U, which represents the density of energy at a certain point of spacetime and the radiation of a portion of the same. Since the energy density is practically infinite, combined with large proportions of Hawking radiation that still remains concentrated in the initial singularity (of the Big Bang), the temperature is NEARLY infinite (Not infinite because of limited levels of Hawking radiation) [1][2][3]. U is a variable because of the entropy of energy [4][5]. 2. Argument for a designerWHAT is the "observable evidence"? The "artistic" structure of the universe can be due to its initial stage of zero entropy in a singularity. Proof has not been provided that the universe's patterns require intelligence. With this argument, Pro has not fulfilled their BoP. 3. The Omnipotence ParadoxDefiance of logic is impossible; that is the very definition of logic. According to Rule 6, LOGIC must be accepted. This is merely the refuting of logic. Anything paradoxical is nonexistent. Here, too, Pro has not fulfilled their BoP and has violated Rule 6; you must show how omnipotence is ACCORDING to logic. A paradox is "an absurd or contradictory statement" [6]. Logic is "reasoning conducted or assessed according to strict principles of validity" [6].4. The Omniscience ParadoxMere logic cannot allow one to foreknow everything in existence. There is always a possibility, however MINUTE, that a certain event E does not happen. [7] Logic does not always allow knowledge of everything, existent and nonexistent. Thus, the omniscience paradox is still a relevant contradiction of rational logic.5. MiraclesWithout providing ANY PROOF, you DIRECTLY ASSUME that God created the universe. Miracles are irrational. You must follow Rule 2 and fulfill your burden of proof by PROVING miracles supernatural actions are possible. You have not PROVEN anything in this round, merely stating derivations. [Note 3]Arguments:1. The SingularityIn particle physics, a gravitational singularity is a point in spacetime with infinite energy density and zero volume, making it extremely condensed with energy. [4][8] During the Big Bang, there was a singularity that contained photonic energy (i.e. light energy). The extremely concentrated singularity expanded slightly, releasing heat energy from the friction of the gradually contracting photons. The photons suddenly contracted immediately, producing particles and antiparticles.[4][9] These gradually became what is known as the universe today. 2. The Grand Design QuestionThe question "who/what created the universe?" is often the question posed by theists to cite the existence of God. But, if the answer is the Supreme Being, then the question can merely be deflected to "what created the Supreme Being?" [10] According to recent research, there CAN be something that created the universe initially. And, according to most physicists, it is the singularity, the initial focus of the Big Bang. 3. Ancient Intelligence"Intelligence" is the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills. [6] Intelligence has displayed itself in the evolution of various species, but the most complex form of intelligence is found in hominids. Hominids evolved from apes and emerged around 7.5 to 5.5 million years ago. [11] Biologically, such complex intelligence cannot have emerged prior to 7.5 million years ago, but, since the universe was created 13.798 ± 0.037 billion years ago, [12] an intelligent Supreme Being would have had to have existed before that time, which is biologically impossible. Conclusion:Scientifically and theologically, the existence of a Supreme Being with the qualities of omniscience and omnipotence is impossible. Notes:1. If you argue that something created that energy: if God can self-create (by the proposition of omnipotence, and the basic origin of God), so can energy. 2. While I maintain that the Big Bang was not influenced by a personal cause, I nevertheless had to point out this violation of Rule 3. 3. While by Rule 7 you must forfeit this debate, I allow you to fulfill your BoP in the next round, but you must fulfill it COMPLETELY.References:[1] Tisza, L. (1966). Generalized Thermodynamics, M.I.T.
