An uncaused universe is more simple than an uncaused god who then created the universe</I><BR/><BR/>Hume has commited a logical fallacy here. The universe occuring as a product of random chance is as statistically probable as shooting across the entire universe and hitting a bulls-eye you were aiming for. <BR/><BR/>The modern quasi-scientific materialist gets around this by saying there are infinite different uncaused universes and this happens to be one of the infintesimally small number of inhabitable ones. Or alternately they will use the athropomorphic argument which is the worst kind of circular reasoning: I am here to reason about the universe therefore the universe is highly probable randomly come into existance and be capable of supporting my sort of life.<BR/><BR/>Ockham's razor certainly makes the existance of the personal creator God look good next to these far fetched examples of "reasoning".

What I like about it is that it replicates...Me too. What I like about it is that it replicates the cosmological argument pretty much to the letter, but then shows how God as Uncaused Cause is simply an ad hoc addition. In other words, the burden of proof remains with those who claim that God exists.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166935423685123723.post-29626991690924123862008-09-05T19:13:00.000-07:002008-09-05T19:13:00.000-07:00I like the logic, I'm going to bookmark this page ...I like the logic, I'm going to bookmark this page for future referenceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
