The paradox: You seem to believe that God exists and that people simply cannot understand because our minds are not designed to fathom anything outside of our perception of reality or even our imaginations (as there is still *some* level of logic involved with our imaginations), but that is self defeating. If I cannot comprehend something so foreign than obviously you can't either because we're both human.
The reason you can't comprehend it is because you can't comprehend these articles, they explain it well. God created the Universe, so therefore of course he is exempt from it's properties. The Universe isn't exempted from it's properties because its theirs. It doesn't say the human mind CAN'T comprehend it, but it is difficult because our logic tells us everything has to have a beginning.
The idea that God has always existed and will always exist is really impossible to comprehend when you bring in reason and try to make logic out of it. You can say God is exempt, but if you are going to start making exceptions to the rule then why the hell can't you make the exception for Universe instead of God?
I just explained this but I will say it again, you can't be exempt of your own laws and properties.
Why couldn't the universe have always existed? Nothing in science tells us that it couldn't have always existed.
Yes, infact, it does. I told uyou before not even REMOTELY intelligent atheists believe in an infinite Universe. For the Universe to have existed for infinitey would mean infinitey has beenr eached, which is IMPOSSIBLE. You are behind your times, my friend.
After all, science tells us that our perception of time is directly proportional to our speed traveling through space, so that the slower you move the faster time will travel for you and the quicker the slower it will travel for you. If you were to stop moving (somehow avoid all gravity and slow yourself to an exact stop) you would instantaneously burst into dust because time would be passing (from an outsider's perspective) infinitely quickly for you, whereas for you time would have stopped around you and you would not have been able to accelerate back above zero before dieing (if time stops around you then a jet pack or something like that would take an infinitely long time to ignite after all. You moving your arms would take an infinite amount of time. Etc, etc, yadda yadda, theory of relativity, you get the point. Time is something that was created by the universe and as such it cannot necessarily exist in the same form if at all outside of the universe. It is a human interpretation of what we can notibly percieve as change occuring naturally alongside movement, so if there was nothing, there would be no time... blah blah. Anyway the point is that the universe could theoretically exist for an eternity by our standards, because the universe as an entity exists in a realm that isn't subject to any of the laws of time within it, so there is always the chance that the universe itself has and will always exist, with or without the aid of God.
No it is not but if you are just going to deny fact and logic then go right ahead, I wont bother countering it.
Or, if you wanted to read more into the bible, you could just say that God and the universe are one and the same.
You really need to get new material. The theory of an infinite Universe has been proved quiet impossible. If the Universe was infinite we could not be here right now. So unless you suggest that we are not here, then I would recommend you cease supporting such a radical theory. Most atheists scientists today have shifted to the theory of the "Big Bang" but as my first article states something with a beginning most probably has a cause, and a cause such as the Universe must be personal.
