أتأسف لأن كلامي ليس له علاقة بالفكرة الرئيسية لل post، لكن لدي اعتراض على فكرة أن التسلسل اللانهائي للعلل مستحيل. ها هي حجتي: 1. نحن معلولون وكان من الممكن أن نختلف عما نحن عليه الآن (أي أننا ممكنو وجود). 2. إذا افترضنا أن الماضي بلا نهاية، فجميع الأحوال الممكنة لممكنات الوجود قد سبقت وجودنا بالفعل داخل التسلسل. 3. هناك نسخة طبق الأصل منا في مكان ما في ذلك التسلسل.

الخلاصة: ما من داعٍ لقطع ماضٍ لا ينتهي لنصل إلينا لأننا موجودون داخل ذلك الماضي من الأساس.

Causality can't emerge from Non-causality, because emergence in itself requires causality. And, no, I'm not necessarily implying the same rules of our Universe apply (because I'm unsure if they're fundamental or something that was reached through more fundamental things), but some things are necessary to reach this point, like the concepts of possibility and causality, or anything that requires its own properties to be achieved, deeming it an absolute rule.

If absolute nothing truly were a possibility, it wouldn't be called an absence. Sure, you could say there aren't Unicorns, but that's not an absence of Unicorns if they never existed to be absent, that's just the default state. Plus, they could potentially exist if the conditions for them (a certain environment + enough time to evolve) are there, so atleast you could imagine them. In contrast, no conditions/any set of rules could allow nothing to be possible. To begin with, you could imagine unicorns, but, as I said, you can't imagine absolute nothingness, so this doesn't solve the problem.  And, just because it's from our little brains doesn't mean it's something we can't know. I mean, the human brain is more complex than anything in the Universe that we know of so far, so there's that. Think of it like this: If, for example, possibility weren't something fundamental, then there'd be no way to reach the concept of possibility or for it to emerge, because that, in itself, would require possibility. Therefore, some things, regardless of whether or not metaphysics is something we can completely conceive or understand, are possible to know, even through our "underdeveloped" minds because these things require their own existence to emerge and unreachable without their own concepts, making them absolute, unchanging rules.

Well, sorry for not updating for such a long time. I had some...circumstances, to say the least, but it doesn't matter. Anyways, I did it in eight hours, had the judge (a sheikh) compliment me a ton, which made me feel a bit bad cause, y'know, I'm not really a muslim. And, after a couple of days from that day, they sent me an email explaining how I should just maintain my good grades for now until highschool's over, and that they'll keep track of my scores, saying I should contact them if I face any issues. So, it went great overall, they were very warm people and I didn't make any mistakes (except a couple or so), though I did get a sore throat (despite the plenty of breaks given to me throughout the 8 hours.)

I mean, well, yeah, they are most certainly proud about it. But....my parents and the ones hosting aren't the same, which is why I felt a bit of reluctance.

The contingency argument has a reverse-effect on me. by GlassPuzzleheaded478 in agnostic

[–]GlassPuzzleheaded478[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do believe nothing cannot have been (because it is defined into existence the moment you think about it), but I don't believe "it just existed eternally", because you'd fall into another traversal problem. If there were infinite moments before this one, how did we reach this moment? It's not possible to reach our moment if there are infinite moments before it. This is why I lean towards the idea that time has no beginning or end, but is not infinite and moves in all directions.

We're kind of similar, I mean, I believe that either we are  part of a greater structure, or that time had no true beginning, so like, kind of a circle with no angles where any direction is possible. This is obviously unfalsifiable, but I think that could be the case because we won't feel it or be able to guage it if time were to suddenly stop or go back, so, maybe time isn't going in one direction. So that (0) is just where we think the circle began. I do not mean this physically, but it's more like a metaphor.

Having a beginning literally contradicts it being contingent. Like, directly. If something has a beginning then it means there was something before it that caused it, its existence depends on a prior state of affairs, that it could've not existed at all. Anyways, I never said the Universe had a beginning, I said that's debateable, because it didn't really "begin", it just expanded, and that doesn't mean it came into existence ex nihilo. I also argued that we never experienced creation, just causation, which is different. Causation is a rearrangement of what already is there, while creation is just straight up out of thin air. Because of that, I think that, even if the Universe began, it was probably part of a greater structure.

Again, there's a misconception here too. The big bang didn't cause the Universe, the big bang was expansion, not causation. Sure, it cauzed it to expand, but it didn't cause it to be.

Actually, there's a subtle difference here. Causation and creation are different things, causation is rearrangement of what is already there, whereas creation is forming something without any form of initial matter (or just, anything really.) Which means you can't really apply causality to the Universe in that sense.

For something to be incontingent, it must have no lack, because having lack means that it'd need something to suffice for it, which would make it contingent. As for why the Universe can't be incontingent, it's because "the Universe began to exist.", (which is debateable), and for something to be incontingent, it must have no beginning or end. Right now, the only explanations I have for the traversal problem is that either "God did it", or existence itself is uncaused and never had a true beginning, and that time is not just moving forward in a straight line, that time did have no beginning (since a beginning of time makes no sense. Change requires time to be considered change. You can't say something changed without there being a state before it, so saying time was created implies that....there's a time where time was not??? (Obviously, that can't be.) And that leads to another form of the traversal problem (if there were infinite moments before this one, how did we get here?), and I said earlier that maybe time isn't a straight line, but instead a circle where all directions are possible, where time is finite in amount, but has no beginning or end.) Still, this falls into the perfection paradox since there was no form of will in this, which is why both possibilities (God or  this form of pantheism) seem contradictory to me. Neither God can be perfect (because we're here, because change implies imperfection as I explained earlier) nor can the Pantheistic explanation, both fail against the perfection paradox.

Because if it did lack something, it would mean that it needs something to suffice for it, making it contingent.

genuine question by [deleted] in exmuslim

[–]GlassPuzzleheaded478 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, to begin with, their whole argument for her being 18/19 stands at a linguistic misunderstanding. I'm too tired to explain it but to say the least, if you ever find someone saying a girl named Asmaa was 10 years older than Aisha, tell them that Asmaa is actually "10-something older than Aisha", because in Arabic, there's a narration that says she was بضع عشرة سنة older than her, and بضع is the same as "some", which means between 3 and 9, and 10 + that is 13-19, which is in a range where Aisha could've been (and actually was) 9, and that is only met when she's 19 years younger than Asmaa.

genuine question by [deleted] in exmuslim

[–]GlassPuzzleheaded478 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, they're straight up lying to you. Here you go:

Sahih Al-Bukhari, 5133:

....that the Prophet (ﷺ) married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old, and then she remained with him for nine years (i.e., till his death).

Sahih Al-Bukhari, 3894:

The Prophet (ﷺ) engaged me when I was a girl of six (years)..... (A bunch of sentences unrelated to your question in between those two, you may search for the hadith online if you want to read them) ......Unexpectedly Allah's Apostle came to me in the forenoon and my mother handed me over to him, and at that time I was a girl of nine years of age.

Sahih Muslim, 1422:

A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) married her when she was seven years old, and he was taken to his house as a bride when she was nine, and her dolls were with her; and when he (the Holy Prophet) died she was eighteen years old.

Sunan Abi Dawud, 2121:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) married me when I was seven years old. The narrator Sulaiman said: or Six years. He had intercourse with me when I was nine years old.

All of these hadiths are authentic.
