Re: Creation from nothing, and then ...
One, here is a statement from Linde:
"Of an infinite number of bubbles, Linde says, there could be 10500 different varieties."
Can be found under the section of Goldilocks bubbles.
Moreover, you completely disregarded what I said in response to Linde's model."Granted that the majority are able at last to own or hire the modern house with all its improvements. While civilization has been improving our houses, it has not equally improved the men who are to inhabit them. It has created palaces, but it was not easy to create noblemen and kings." ~~~Henry David Thoreau
"I find your lack of faith - disturbing." ~~Darth Vader
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline." (Proverbs 1:7) ~~King Solomon
"Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven." (Matthew 5:44)~~Jesus of Nazareth
"Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire called conscience." ~~~George Washington

Re: Creation from nothing, and then ...
BTW creation did not arise from nothing; it arose from the Logos (the wisdom, logic, and word) of God, since the Father created it through the Logos Himself. This isn't meant to imply that creation is equal to God's foreknowing of it, but that it arose materialistically from the epistemological foreknowing; otherwise, God would have created randomly.
I haven't really changed that much since I was an atheist. I just believe in one more god than you now.

Re: Creation from nothing, and then ...
You have disregarded completely the substance of my argument.
Modern cosmologies, regardless of any theoretical limit on the number of universes, does not consider the nature of existence as necessarily finite. In fact, most cosmologists consider it most like infinite, like Linde. I will provide more.
By the way, it would be illogical to have an infinite number of bubbles in a finite existence with a limited numbe of universe.Go with the flow the river knows.

Re: Creation from nothing, and then ...
Do you even try to process what someone is saying when you respond? Seriously?
First off, you take everything that Linde says to heart, on the basis that it suits what you believe. However, you disregard his acceptance of the limited variation. You disregard the philosophical arguments against an actual infinite on the grounds that some Cosmologists think up models involving infinity. That would be like me arguing that Evolution isn't necessarily true because there are some modern Biologists who don't believe it is possible.
Moreover, you have completely disregarded the disproof of Linde's bubble model of the universe, and moved on to an argument that has has also been invalidated by science. Bravo!"Granted that the majority are able at last to own or hire the modern house with all its improvements.

Re: Creation from nothing, and then ...
I do not take everything Linde says at heart. You are the first to bring up Linde. By the way, can you come up with any quote from Linde that he supports a finite existence in any way?
Okay come up with cosmologists that believe in finite existence.However, you disregard his acceptance of the limited variation.
This is a disparaging remark concerning Cosmologists. They do not think up things. I would have to see some serious cosmologists that postulate a finite existence, before I would seriously consider it..You disregard the philosophical arguments against an actual infinite on the grounds that some Cosmologists think up models involving infinity.
No comparison. This is a red herring.That would be like me arguing that Evolution isn't necessarily true because there are some modern Biologists who don't believe it is possible.
You will have to do better than this remark. You need to cite source in context for support.Moreover, you have completely disregarded the disproof of Linde's bubble model of the universe, and moved on to an argument that has has also been invalidated by science.

Re: Creation from nothing, and then ...
You had me quote someone to support the limited variation acceptance. Not only did I do this, I provided reference to Linde concurring with the scientific invalidation of the model that you had supported.By the way, can you come up with any quote from Linde that he supports a finite existence in any way?
There is no need for me to provide anything from Linde showing that he admits to finite existence. This is entirely irrelevant. The point is, the disproofs you are using against the philosophical disproofs of an actual infinite are based on the assumption that the hypothetical models that you are throwing around are fact, which is, in itself, based on assuming the philosophical arguments are false. This is pretty circular.
Do you not see the missteps in logic here?Okay come up with cosmologists that believe in finite existence.
You can't prove that there is an infinity with an appeal to authority. As a positive assertion of enormous speculation, the burden of proof is on you.
How dense can you possible be? I hadn't said that Cosmology is a science that speculates. I'm saying that the Cosmologically-related idea of an infinite matrix (as far as I know, was simply made up by you) is merely speculation. An actual infinite is a positive assertion that some Cosmologists believe in, but that is not grounds for believing in it.This is a disparaging remark concerning Cosmologists. They do not think up things. I would have to see some serious cosmologists that postulate a finite existence, before I would seriously consider it..
I have given you objections to models involving the multiverse, showing how they have been scientifically invalidated, and you have ignored this.
Ugh...where is this getting me. This will be my last post, as I was recommended by a friend not to waste my time with you anyway.No comparison. This is a red herring.
Try the other forum that I had linked to earlier, silly. I provide the source there.You will have to do better than this remark. You need to cite source in context for support."Granted that the majority are able at last to own or hire the modern house with all its improvements.

Re: Creation from nothing, and then ...
Yes, your missteps and foolishness.
Again your lack of knowledge and failure to read my posts is making a fool of yor self.You can't prove that there is an infinity with an appeal to authority. As a positive assertion of enormous speculation, the burden of proof is on you.
I never said there was any proof of anything, and you are again misusing the concept of proof in science.
Swimming in your own manure.Ugh...where is this getting me.Go with the flow the river knows.
