Do You Know Why You Don't Believe?

I know I said that I wouldn't return to this thread, but I am very weak and cannot resist.

Name one thing that does not have width, length, and height.

The physical universe has no known width, length or height. To suggest otherwise would claim that we lived in a "closed system" which is only theoretical, at best, as there is no data to provide evidence supporting that premise. Don't even get me going about other universes, lol. Also, my greater identity cannot be measured in such terms. It could easily dance a merry jig on a pin head or expand itself to eclipse galaxies. It's all relative, you see, but it is not likely that you do.

Like Doppelganger, I await the report based on your homework. C'mon, it ought to be child's play for one so wise.

PS: I loved the amusing little anecdote about the Law and God.

Love. Hunger. Time. Gravitational potential energy.

Whoops... that was four.

You forget points, lines and polygons.

The universe has no known width, length, or height?

Not true, the limits of it's width, length, and height are not known but it still has width, length, and height.

Next time, be stronger.

And which one of your dimensions do these things exist in?

What exhibits a correct line? Is there any example you can provide?

Well . . . that settles it then. . . :areyoucra

What exhibits "God"?

I guess it does.

 

[Super Universe]

What exhibits "God"?

What doesn't?

 

[doppelganger]

What doesn't?

Every-thing.

 

[Autodidact]

First Cause. That which caused all other causes and effects.

Well let's say hypothetically that the world is without end, infinite in time as well as space, and that nothing is ever lost or gained, only changes its form. How do you know there is any single first cause?

Doesn't your definition intrinsically cause you the problem of infinite regress?

Well that makes no sense. The word "width" is a measurement word about how wide something is, so if its width is not known, then possibly it doesn't have any; that is, it is infinitely wide, so does not have a knowable width.

 

[Autodidact]

Super:
By asserting that God is defined as the First Cause, aren't you assuming there is one? That is, assuming what you are setting out to demonstrate?

Right, but follow the logic here. If you don't know what the limit to something is, merely using the word "limit" in your sentence to say so, means there is a limit. See? It's as obvious as Jormungandr.

Your example still needs a beginning.

Another problem is that things are gained.

Knowledge.

Oh so mighty one why don't you tell us about the things you call dimensions which aren't dimensions as has already been proven to you as we all know what dimensions are.

The LIMIT of the universe is not known, that does not negate the fact that it still has some width, length, and height that we can see and even measure.

You're really over thinking this.

Nope.

Go back and read it again for yourself.
