Does god exist

In this round, I'll be addressing the resurrection argument, defend the scientific arguments and reply to your arguments. 1. The big bang: Any answer to this problem must begin with a key realization: both time and space are contained within the universe and came into existence only AFTER the"Big Bang"occurred. Thecause"of the universe must not include them, they are not available to us. It must come from outside our experience." http://www.deepastronomy.com... "During the Big Bang, all of the space, time, matter, and energy in theUniverse"was"created. This giant explosion hurled matter in all directions and caused space itself to expand. As the"Universe"cooled, the material in it combined to form galaxies, stars, and planets." http://coolcosmos.ipac.caltech.edu...- The accepted model today is that time and space and material things had beginning. And the cause must be beyond space and time because it created space and time. The cause must be immaterial, it created material things. The cause must be uncaused, an infinite number of past events is impossible. An immaterial spacless timeless uncaused being God exists. Evolution: "One is simply moving the argument up a level. The odds of god's existence are even lower than that of the universe's. What designed god? If god wasn't designed, then its logical that our existence needn't have been designed - this particular belief is similar to pantheism." This argument is simply false, God is immaterial. God doesn't need to be created nor complex. Who created God? An actual infinite number of past events is impossible, so there must be an infinite being beyond space and time. God is immaterial, nor designed nor complex. He is a spirit, a deity. The idea of evolution occurring without a higher power is as crazy as to be fantastic as I suggested in the previous rounds. And of course, evolution is irrelevant with the truth of Christian theism. Its obvious to consider genesis as a symbolic chapter. In the bronze age, 300 Ad Saint augustine on his commentary on genesis pointed out that the creation as mentioned don't have to be literal, and that interpretation came 1500 years before Darwin! Let's say that evolution is true. How is that a defeater of Christian belief? What adjustment to a Christian worldview would that require? That God does not exist? That Jesus of Nazareth did not rise from the dead? Obviously not! Now let's get to the resurrection: When we have historical evidence, we look at the evidence itself. We have discovered that Jesus was buried by joseph of armathia, his tomb was found empty by a group of women, multiple individuals have experienced appearances of jesus alive after his death, and that the disciples genuinely came to believe in the resurrection despite having every disposition of it. Historical evidence demonstrates the"Gospel"of Mark was written before 37 A.D which would be about"four years or less after Jesus" crucifixion and scholars further note the"language, grammar and style used by Mark in his account of Jesus" crucifixion and resurrection (including the empty tomb) indicates Mark received the narrative from an earlier source. As noted by Oxford historian A.N. Sherwin-White, it is unprecedented anywhere in history for a legend to have arisen that fast so as to distort the account in the gospels of the resurrection. Mark's Passion source didn't end with Jesus' burial, but with the story of the empty tomb, which is tied to the burial account verbally and grammatically. Moreover, Matthew and John rely on independent sources about the empty tomb. Jesus' empty tomb is also mentioned in the early sermons independently preserved in the Acts of the Apostles (2.29; 13.36), and it's implied by the very old tradition handed on by Paul in his first letter to the Corinthian church (I Cor. 15.4). Thus, we have multiple, early attestation of the fact of the empty tomb in at least four independent sources. why the body couldn't have been stolen: .The guards stationed at the tomb would have prevented anyone from stealing Jesus" body. .No one stealing the body would have had a reason to leave the grave clothes behind or take time to fold the burial head cloth. .The initial reactions of the disciples when they found out the tomb was empty were inconsistent with them stealing Jesus" body. (When the women reported they had seen Jesus alive, the disciples initial reaction was to think the women were talking nonsense (Luke 24:10-12). Some of the disciples did not believe Jesus had bee resurrected until after they personally witnessed the resurrected Jesus with their own eyes (John 20:25). Thomas didn't believe Jesus had been resurrected even though the other ten apostles told him Jesus had appeared to them (John 20:19-25). . The resurrection of man the messiah was completely unexpected on judaism, jewish theology prohibits a dying messiah, the invention of that would lead the inventors to get persecuted and go to hell . Jewish propaganda presupposes empty tomb, they even paid for those who have seen it to lie .The explanation someone stole the body doesn't explain the eyewitness testimony of Jesus" post crucifixion and burial appearances. Why the disciples and paul didn't hallucinate: .There were too many witnesses. .The witnesses were qualified."They were simple, honest, moral people who had firsthand knowledge of the facts. .The five hundred saw Christ together, at the same time and place. .Hallucinations usually last a few seconds or minutes; rarely hours."This one hung around for forty days (Acts 1:3). .Hallucinations usually happen only once, except to the insane."This one returned many times, to ordinary people (Jn"20:19-21:14;"Acts 1:3). .Hallucinations come from within, from what we already know, at least unconsciously."This one said and did surprising and unexpected things (Acts 1:4,9)"like a real person and unlike a dream. .Not only did the disciples not expect this, they didn't even believe it at first.Neither Peter, nor the women, nor Thomas, nor the eleven believed. They thought he was a ghost; he had to eat something to prove he was not (Lk"24:36-43). . Hallucinations do not eat."Yet the resurrected Christ did, on at least two occasions (Lk"24:42-43;"Jn 21:1-14). . Paul was persecuting early Christians until he saw jesus and came to genuinely believe in the resurrection, he hadn't met jesus before nor did he love him, no reason for hallucinations .The disciples touched him"(Mt 28:9;"Lk24:39;"Jn"20:27). .They also spoke with him, and he spoke back."Figments of your imagination do not hold profound, extended conversations with you, unless you have the kind of mental disorder that isolates you. But this "hallucination" conversed with at least eleven people at once, for forty days (Acts 1:3). .The apostles could not have believed in the "hallucination" if Jesus' corpse had still been in the tomb."This is a very simple and telling point; for if it was a hallucination, where was the corpse? They would have checked for it; if it was there, they could not have believed. The only plausible explanation is the hypothesis "god raised jesus from the death" as written in the scripture. Now ill be addressing ur arguments against theism - Problem of evil: in the normal moral universe, the good will do th best he can and the worst will do the worst he can. God doesn't intervene with it, we would be like bots - Natural disasters: god knows why allows innocent people to suffer, their suffering could be compared to nothing face of eternal joy - The prophecy about tyre came true, the tyre we see today is not the original tyre of the roman empire. - Assume that the last verse in mark is added, nothing changes in the minimal facts - The Bible is not inerrant, god doesn't recite scientific lessons to the prophets. The bible is inspired and that would include preservation of the original words of the gospels. Thanks for participating
