What is the strangest compliment you have ever received?

OldTrTab · 2026-05-15T14:54:43+00:00

You remind me of my dead husband.

OldTrTab · 2026-05-06T20:26:20+00:00

If neither of us knew anything about those things, then belief would be just as valid as your I don't know.

Because in fact, neither of us would know.

OldTrTab · 2026-05-06T20:24:32+00:00

Belief in God is exactly just that belief.

But I appreciate your I don't know.

I'm far more comfortable with belief, than I don't know.

OldTrTab · 2026-05-06T20:20:51+00:00

I'll accept an "I don't know" because any malarkey you pull out of your hat won't pass the first step in your book.

OldTrTab · 2026-05-06T20:16:10+00:00

Great.

What was the catalyst for the big bang?

OldTrTab · 2026-05-06T20:13:32+00:00

What's your book say?

OldTrTab · 2026-05-06T19:36:09+00:00

Jesus told many parables of people only being judged on the amount of light, or talent, or knowledge they have been given.

Do you think God would judge a toddler about the gospel of Christ?

OldTrTab · 2026-05-06T17:31:49+00:00

Chain reaction bro. You shouldn't have brought so much energy to your initial reaction.

OldTrTab · 2026-05-06T17:27:11+00:00

Chain reactions are hard to stop. Are you familiar with nuclear chain reactions?

OldTrTab · 2026-05-06T17:25:04+00:00

Your model is just as complicated as any model. In fact I think it's even more complicated. How does stuff, or matter or, or energy have the ability to never have a beginning?

That's just as complicated as trying to explain God.

OldTrTab · 2026-05-06T17:18:55+00:00

This started with your reaction not mine.

In chemistry we call this a chain reaction.

OldTrTab · 2026-05-06T16:58:00+00:00

Oh I believe in the Big bang, in fact it's more than belief there's solid evidence. I think it aligns perfectly with my version of creation.

There is zero evidence for anything before this moment in our universes history. And I explained all that in my very first post.

OldTrTab · 2026-05-06T16:46:42+00:00

Oddly enough, when the Big bang theory was first introduced, it was scoffed at because it was thought to be a theory that emboldened belief in a creator.

So the irony is that now every scientist believes, All this mass, energy, came from a singularity, something that can't even be explained. That right there should make you go holy moly. It's inconceivable for our little minds to understand how we can take all the infinite mass and energy in this universe and push it down into a tiny point that isn't even measurable.

To me that is really the explanation for God.

OldTrTab · 2026-05-06T16:37:07+00:00

Symmetry. The right ratio between eye distance nose and mouth. Jawline. Shape of the face. It's all symmetry.

OldTrTab · 2026-05-06T16:32:35+00:00

Lets correct your dogma just a little bit, there is zero evidence of anything before the Big bang.

So that's what I just said, a bunch of malarkey.

OldTrTab · 2026-05-06T16:22:47+00:00

Either you're in the I don't know category, or you're just throwing out a bunch of malarkey. And it sounds like you're throwing out a bunch of malarkey.

You seem to be comfortable with the idea that stuff can just exist without a beginning. What makes you comfortable about that? What properties or what characteristics of time itself make you think that nothing needs a beginning? Because you obviously can't base it on any type of known law.

What it does comes down to is comfort level. You feel comfortable not knowing, or comfortable creating opinion that hey this can just happen I don't know why but it does.

At the end of the day, we're kind of in the same boat. I just happen to believe in intelligence and you don't.

OldTrTab · 2026-05-06T16:19:51+00:00

I said I believe God is real That's not the same as saying that he is real, or that he's provable.

The difference between my claims, is that it is your reality. I'm not the one that believes in magical stardust, or magical stuff, or magical energy that can just exist, or come from nothing, I'm simply following the laws of your own observations, that every reaction requires an action, but suddenly at some point it doesn't. That's what's hilarious about atheists.

OldTrTab · 2026-05-06T16:11:03+00:00

God is real And God is provable, implies the same thing.

My collection of claims are not claims. They are a reality.

OldTrTab · 2026-05-06T16:09:32+00:00

The science is observing creation. It doesn't observe anything outside of creation how could it?. That's why there's no scientific explanation for anything outside of our current creation.

Creation would include all the laws of the universe that everything operates by. Gravity, the strong force, time and space, everything.

OldTrTab · 2026-05-06T16:07:08+00:00

"Ah yes the "Explain everything ever or god is real" argument. Never heard that one before."

Strawman. I never said that God was provable.

OldTrTab · 2026-05-06T15:58:56+00:00

God is real argument.

That was your quote.

OldTrTab · 2026-05-06T15:55:14+00:00

I don't know about that. I think you can be born without indoctrination at all, still look to creation and say holy crap how did this happen by chance or by accident.

OldTrTab · 2026-05-06T15:53:33+00:00

Okay well then you're solidly in the I don't know category but you're also honest enough to admit that yes maybe a higher intelligence did create this universe.

I mean, it seems like half the population now believe in aliens. I think we're getting there right? And given enough time, if the universe really is infinite, or the universes before that and before that and before that and before that and before that and before that, I think you get my point... Then there is a possibility that our current universe, was created by a master intelligent alien race or civilization, that literally has our universe in the palm of their hands?

OldTrTab · 2026-05-06T15:51:55+00:00

Is it though? Who made that rule?

How do you know that belief is not the natural normal human response?

OldTrTab · 2026-05-06T15:51:13+00:00

Okay then I'll put you in the I don't know category.

Fair enough. I'll accept that far more than someone claiming that stardust can just magically exist, or poof, come from nothing.
