The most important question of all

[siti]

G-d is Truth. Right, please?

Word salad.

Not much of a salad - more like bit of leftover shredded cabbage I think! Like this too:

you forgot.....First

Someone had to be ....First

Apart from why "someone" as someone already asked...Why? Or indeed How? How could there be a first anything? Why does there have to be a first anything - and how the hell did that happen?

It's a simple thing

the large numbers of life.....did not happen all at once

back it up......and there is One standing

so to speak

 

[9-10ths_Penguin]

Is there a God ?

Why on Earth would that be the most important question?

If we aren’t worried about the merits of the question, surely “is there a being that will devour God and all of us?” is more important, no?

And if we are worried about merits, what merit is there in the idea of a god? What reason do you have to say that this “God” you mention is likely enough that we should concern ourselves with it?

One is one and all alone and ever more shall be so! Clearly there is something wrong with that (il)logic. In any case, how did the One happen?

No. God is mystery! The opposite of truth.

Boom.

Not correct.
The opposite of truth is untruth or falsehood but not mystery. Right, please?

Those, as well. When one speaks untruth or falsehood, do they increase or decrease mystery?

your question is an echo I have heard since I posted 9yrs ago....

until then....Someone had to be First

No idea then - just as I suspected. And yet you round off your admission of abject ignorance by repeating your original baseless claim? Were you sticking your fingers in your ears and repeating "not listening, not listening..." over and over as you wrote your post by any chance?

it's a line of thought.....

Science has never taken this as a subject to study/investigate/search as it is beyond its limits. So, why burden science with something that is out of its limits?

Is that what it is? I thought it was just a bald assumption standing in the place of either evidence or reason - since you seem to have neither...

...and you can't follow it

you got that right!

yep....Someone had to be First

Is there a God ?

I believe there is, but this is not provable, it's mere belief based on sound philosophical evidence.

"If there is no God, then there is no life beyond the present one, no higher authority on moral issues".

Whether or not there is a God has no bearing on: (1) whether there is an afterlife, nor on (2) whether you can have sound morals.

Atheists view this question through the lens of materialism and a philosophy that assumes purely material causes for the origin of life.

Hence, materialists embrace the only alternative they have- evolution.

Yes, materialism limits your options, by definition. If there is no immaterial aspect to the self, then when the body dissolves, so does the conscious sense of self.

But it's possible to believe in evolution and God at the same time, so evolution is not of necessity anti-God.

But what could be more worthwhile and of greater consequence- than finding a trustworthy answer to such a fundamental question?

Actually, the question of whether or not our soul (if we have one) survives death is irrelevant. It is unknowable and it is not necessary to know this to have a fulfilled and meaningful life. Atheists don't believe it and they have fulfilled and meaningful lives, at least as much as anyone. In fact, many Fundamentalist evangelical Christians I know live a pretty turbulent emotional and spiritual life, always fretting about whether God approves, and why he did such and such, and are their works really pleasing him, and on and on.

A word salad is a meaningless combination of words. Eg "square circle".

Oh - I see! Proof by repetition now. Still no hint of reasoning.

Prove that there is no infinite regression then. And I am not trolling - this is a debate forum and you have made a statement that you cannot support with either evidence or logic...there is absolutely no logical or evidential proof that there cannot be an infinite regression - even of persons - that have existed before us...if you can prove that there cannot be an infinite regression then I will accept that something had to be first. Even then you still fall well short of your insistence that someone had to be first. But like I said, if there can be an infinite regression, then there is no logical obstacle to an infinite regression of 'persons' either.
