Science Proves God?


http://www.israelvideonetwork.com/science-has-finally-proven-that-scientifically-there-is-a-god/



If you watch the video in the link above, you'll see that this guy tries to argue (i.e fool people) into believing that "science has finally proven that scientifically there is a god." The only problem is, his confirmation bias blinds him from being able to see the very scientific assumptions his conclusions necessarily rely on.  Basically, his inability to consider that what he calls "nothing" may indeed have been something, but it was/is "something" in a form we may or may not have any ability to understand or formulate into words, because out entire existence/language is limited to our own universe.
 
So here's the problem with his argument.



1. He never establishes his assumption that "the laws of the universe must predate the universe," as he claims, since it is just as possible that the laws themselves coincided with the creation of the universe. The material that makes up the universe - most of which appears to be dark matter and antimatter - may have actually preceded the "laws," in fact, since those laws may have been the very catalyst that triggered the "big bang" that birthed our universe into existence.

Since even Aristotle argued if God has always existed, then perhaps stuff has just always existed, in different forms that exceeds our ability to understand, just as we assume God exceeds our ability to understand.

  Perhaps, in other words, once those 20 or so laws that our universe needed to pop into existence, finally coalesced into the right combinations, after an almost infinite number of other combinations had already randomly crashed together and separated and reconfigured, like the universe playing blindly with a rubix cube that has 20 or so sides to it. And once the right combination of things came together, it exploded in a "bang" that simultaneously birthed forth the universe we live in. 

 2. The "inflation" term comes from a belief that the universe has always existed, in different forms, inflating and deflating. And in a multiverse, each universe would be inflating and deflating at different points, like lights on a Christmas tree, or honeycombs closing and opening. Hence, the "laws" that pertain to our own particular iteration of a universe, may only exist and matter to this universe alone, so that all other universes in a multiverse are governed by unique sets of "laws of nature" that are born with and die with that particular universe.  

3. Even if we accept his premise that there was a "God" who kicked it all off, there is nothing about his assumptions that tells us anything about that God, let alone if "it" was good or evil, alone or just one among an infinite number, or if "he" even survived giving birth to the universe.

And 4. Such "laws of nature" that were necessary for the universe to form, tells us nothing about the "moral laws" that "believers" insist forbid murder or rape, or even gives them the right to be as homophobic and transphobic as they insist their God and their own special brand of "morality" compels them to be. Such "laws of nature" tell us nothing at all about whether there is any such thing as "moral laws," in other words, outside of the conception of such 'laws'' we find no where but in our own head.

Why Ben Shapiro is Wrong About BLM

If Ben Shapiro really wants answers to his condemnations of BLM, he should start by reading a few books, and then some. For example, he can find all of the answer's he's looking for in: Slavery By Another Name , by Douglas Blackmon, which shows how "thousands of African Americans were pulled back into forced labor with shocking force and brutality," right up until the 1970s, when I was still in grade school. The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness , by Civil Rights litigator and legal scholar, Michelle Alexander, which explains how "mass incarceration" under the ruse of a War on Drugs, has effectively created a caste system that is as pronounced in America today as it was in the Jim Crow south, if not more. Ghosts of Jim Crow , which was written by Constitutional Law Professor, F. Michael Higgenbotham, which explains in great detail how "the shadows of Jim Crow era laws and attitudes continue to perpetuate insidious, ...

The Height of Arrogance of Christian Humility

 "To think that the ruler of the universe will run to my assistance and bend the laws of nature for me is the height of arrogance. That implies that everyone else (such as the opposing football team, driver, student, parent) is de -selected, unfavored by God, and that I am special, above it all." Dan Barker, Losing Faith in Faith: From Preacher to Atheist (Madison, WI: FFRF, 1992), p. 109. What could be more arrogant than to believe in miracles? To believe that the supreme ruler of the universe has not only bent the laws of nature by which everyone else is bound, but that such a ruler did so as a special favor to you, and also as a special message and invitation to you, which that ruler intentionally withholds from everyone else.  Even the person who believes they know something is a miracle believes that their knowledge of miracles is itself a special knowledge, amounting to a kind of miracle in and of itself, that the God who performed the miracle bestows to his chosen ...

Father Mike's Omniscience About Transgenderism

The major problems in the world are the result of the difference between how nature works and how people think. Gregory Batson I f my perception doesn't match up with reality, it's not reality that has to change, it's my perception.   Fr. Mi ke Schmitz Despite the ever growing mountain of evidence about the nature of transgenderism, Fr. Mike Schmitz simply refuses to change his perception. And that's because his "perception," is not only based on nothing but his "beliefs," but because selling those "beliefs" is his one and only job! The problem, if he were truly trying to follow in the footsteps of Christ, is he would stop trying to sell people what he "believes" is the truth, and he would try to actually start trying to FIND THE TRUTH instead.  NOT DOING SO, however, is simply an act of his own spiritual pride, and nothing else. WHY DO CHRISTIANS PREFER THEIR BELIEFS TO THE TRUTH?  Probably because th...
