Why are there still Monkeys?

Mate, answer my question.

Sure, cause and effect break down at the quantum scale. So there are two instances where it does not apply:
1. Atemporally, cause and effect can not apply pre-time,
2. At the quantum scale, the BB being a quantum scale event.

Cause and effect apply to Newtonian, (classical) physics, which we surpassed long ago.

Where is the example in our real world ?

Radioactive decay for example.

That is due to its property which is due to the random and spontaneous breakdown of the unstable nuecleus of the atom.

It is as silly as saying what causes the electric current to flow in copper and not in wood.

Where in nature we can see superpositions of causal orders ?
Can you give some examples ?
quantum computers exploit the fuzzy effects of quantum mechanics, allowing its "qubits" to exist as a 1, 0, or both simultaneously, a.k.a "superposition." So while a traditional computer will sequentially explore the potential solutions to a mathematical optimization problem,*
the quantum system looks at every potential solution simultaneously, known as quantum annealing, and returns answers—not just the single "best" but nearly 10,000 close alternatives as well—in roughly a second.*

God is not my creation.

I am His creation.

The claim exists. It has never been proven true, and most likely never will even if it happens to be true.

I don't believe in magic either.

Except that of divine creation, apparently.


But I suspect cause and effect are two items that cannot be parted.

More like you make that your own personal mantra, and by that filter shape all of your perceptions and statements.


I place Spirit first as life is not beget of dead substance.

If you say so. There is not a meaning in that statement that I can see, so whatever.

:facepalm:

Show us then one example which proves that cause and effect is nonsense and doesn't make sense.

Who knows you may get a noble prize for it.:shrug:

We call that inversion of burden of proof.

Your line of arguing depends on cause and effect being an universal law and necessity (from which the idea of a divinely-originated exception must arise), therefore no one needs to agree with you unless and until (among other requisites) convincing evidence that it is indeed an universal law is provided.

It is of course convenient to provide evidence against your statement, but ultimately it falls upon those who claim it to be an universal law to provide evidence of such being the case.

Are you talking about nature here or a designed work ?

May i ask you just a simple question ?

Can zeros make a one ?
Yes or no

if your answer is yes then explain how it works,IOW how 0 + 0 = 1 or nothings + nothingness = a thing,just speaking naturally and rationally of course.

Sure. But I fear it may not fulfill the purpose you hope it to.

Yes or no

It depends on how you define "zero", "one", and "to make".

In a graphic sense, they sure can:


...0
..00
.0.0
...0
...0
...0
.00000

Depending on personal take, one might legitimally say that so happens in integral calculus as well.

In any case, mathematics is a human creation that can't safely be assumed to extrapolate accurately into the real world. So whether the answer is "yes" or "no", that will literaly tell us nothing about how things are outside the field of mathematics proper.

You know, this looks like you expect me to feel responsible for your certainty. I must assume you either don't understand or don't accept the burden of proof that comes with stating the existence of God.

I do not have to convince you that I am right, or even that I know what I am talking about or make sense at all. That is not how it works, although I may decide to do so anyway.

Instead, I am entitled to disregard your certainty. Anyone is. And if that is unconfortable to you as a believer in God's existence, I'm sorry, but that only means that you have to choose between accepting that disconfort or attempting to provide evidence to convince us.

I didn't ask for a philosophical answer.

Just a simple answer,do 0 + 0 = 1 or nil + nil = 1, yes or no
This is math and not philosophy.

I didn't mention God but just a simple logic that we all understand.

No.
Zero plus zero does not equal one.

Thats irrelevant. They are exploiting a natural phenomenon.

And as to work then electrons should exist, where did electrons came from.
Speaking about the properties of the electron acting as a particle and a wave simultaneously and to be in 2 places at the same moment is an amazing property which you think of it as naturally happening but i understand it to be designed to be so,exactly as you think that the DNA was the work of nature whereas i believe it to be the work of a designer.

The same thing can be said about all matters and their different properties,if there is no designer then nothing can be achieved by nature itself as we know it.

What evidence suggests nature requires design? The designer needs a designer then.
