What's your point here?A table has legs - can a table walk?

There are many expression of Self within the divine-consciousness. We are not just atoms stuck on a rock resembling humans. There is more to it that that. There has been a rise of atheism since people like him started making their millions whilst others have nothing. They will die because of it, and he gives them the excuse. They follow his title. I should start a thread on it I think.No I don't think it's damaging for a person to say they don't believe in god(s) and then to provide the reasons for not believing. What is damaging about that?
Do you believe in Thor? Do you think it's damaging to explain why you don't believe in Thor?
Who or what is it damaging?
You are saying that the universe cannot just be, yet you don't worry about this with God. Thus, you are basing your argument on a yet unsupported assumption. You claim that there is nothing beyond God as if it were fact. Please explain your reasoning for this.Ultimately, if you want to go back past the concept of God, you will find something that just is. There has to be as nothing can only be nothing. You have to have something to bring something else. So we see cause and effect. As mindnumbing as it might be to think that something just IS, it is better than saying that it ISN'T. That Source of all things changed, and therein started the domino effect. Why and how it changed, I don't know. That is the unknowable one.
Do you think that that is literally what I am saying? I think that you are missing the argument/s/ , here. Your position is not logical, imo, so why do you hold it? Anything that doesn't fit into your theory is wrong?So, cause and effect is a constant except where it doesn't line up with your beliefs? That is literally what you are saying.
Everyone is going to die. I really have no idea what you are trying to say here other than to share YOUR opinion about the universe. Which incidentally you seem to think is damaging when someone else does the same.There are many expression of Self within the divine-consciousness.

All gods exist or did exist.
What is illogical about it. You can't say that causation is necessary for everything and then say that God is exempt. That is certainly contradictory.Do you think that that is literally what I am saying? I think that you are missing the argument/s/ , here. Your position is not logical, imo, so why do you hold it?

You really should stop trying to dictate to others what they think and believe.then substance came first (for you)...and you are dust
I'm sure you are fine with that
Light would get sucked in by the gravity of a singularity, as it would create a black hole.God formed the first singularity...
I place Spirit first.
then He pinched that singularity and snapped His fingers.....inducing rotation
then pronounced....Let there be light.
Yeah, that would be the big bang, not "God snapping his fingers".obviously not
otherwise the expansion would still be that initial singularity
So much for your science.....obviously not
otherwise the expansion would still be that initial singularity
Pinnacle of biological design? By what metric?
The analogy worked for its purpose. Ultimately, there has to be a First Cause, and that just Is, and is unknowable. We rely on cause and effect as everything does after that essence, but That does not rely on it.The fingers movement has a cause, does it not? So does the attached person, does it not? So, this analogy doesn't help you here.
Then why can't the big bang be the first cause?The analogy worked for its purpose. Ultimately, there has to be a First Cause, and that just Is, and is unknowable. We rely on cause and effect as everything does after that essence, but That does not rely on it.
You limit God?Then why can't the big bang be the first cause?
No, I am merely not assuming the conclusion you are. I am ASKING why, under your logic that there must be an uncalled cause, can't the big bang be considered as the initial cause.You limit God?
says who?Ultimately, there has to be a First Cause, and that just Is,
