Apologetics 301 Guidelines
If you think this is the area where you tell everyone you are sorry for eating their lunch out of the fridge, it probably isn't the place for you
This forum is open discussion between atheists and all theists to defend and debate their views on religion or non-religion. Please respect that this is a Christian-owned forum and refrain from gratuitous blasphemy. VERY wide leeway is given in range of expression and allowable behavior as compared to other areas of the forum, and moderation is not overly involved unless necessary. Please keep this in mind. Atheists who wish to interact with theists in a way that does not seek to undermine theistic faith may participate in the World Religions Department. Non-debate question and answers and mild and less confrontational discussions can take place in General Theistics.
Forum Rules: Here

But will they come when you do call for them? Shakespeare’s Henry IV, Part 1, Act III:

We do not have a coherent logical argument concerning the necessity of a 'source' or 'beginnings' other than the nature of our physical existence.

Originally posted by 37818 View PostYou list, "physical" existence, what you called, "natural processes" and "natural law" to represent the "nature of physical existence."
. . . And your idea of if there is a God is a matter of "physical" existence, so as you seem to argue.
. . . And you bring up a "Source" to be some kind of ultimate cause which lacks evidence and lacks logical arguments to support. None of that presents what you believe to be "uncaused."Last edited by shunyadragon; 07-16-2016, 10:06 PM.Glendower: I can call spirits from the vasty deep.

No, if there is a God, God is the "uncaused" 'Source' of our physical existence, and not physical in nature.
"Uncaused" simply means eternal without prior cause. If there is a God, God is "uncaused." If God does not exist, our physical existence is "uncaused.". . . the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; . . . -- Romans 1:16 KJV

To exist or "not exist." Is to be contingent on an [uncaused] existence.Glendower: I can call spirits from the vasty deep.
