Existence exists, always has existed and always will exist?
Posted by Solver 10 years, 10 months ago to Philosophy
One way this could be is by infinite time theory. But this also would mean that everything has already happened in every way possible beforehand. Yet we all would be totally obvious that it did.
Another opposing theory is one or more God(s), Infinite immortal all powerful all knowing supernatural being(s), created everything.
SO FOR THIS TOPIC, WHICH IS MORE LIKELY AND WHAT IS YOUR REASONING?
Existence exists, always has existed and always will exist?
Or
One or more infinite immortal all powerful all knowing supernatural being(s) created everything?
(Is it also possible that neither is correct.)

Would you say that, “Existence exists” is non-nonsensical?
Is a line infinite in length if it goes on forever, but begins right where you are standing?
I seem to remember a fellow poster who chided me for a very mild rebuke. Don't seem to see anything coming on this side of the activity.
The video game was just another non-disprovable fun made up way to explain the unexplainable.
How the universe was created. We'll call that God.
What happens after life is extinguished. We'll call that God.
One of many who died on a cross. We'll call him God.
An elephant being with lots of swords. We'll call that God.
A statue of a man with a eagle's head. We'll call that God.
A giant funnel that howls like the wind destroyed a 1000 armed men. We'll call that God.
That monstrous mountain that throws fire and destroys villages with it's flow of molten anger. We'll call that God.
The bright thing in the sky that gives us warmth. We'll call that God.
An almighty father who throws lighting bolts and his son who makes the thunder. We'll call those Gods.
That doesn't make us a video game, unless you subscribe to a creator.
It only implies that we cannot perceive our origins. A soap bubble cannot perceive the origins of the force that created it (a person, blowing into a straw, in a glass of soapy water). the bubble had a creation, it will likely pop and have an end. The soapy water and straw still exists.
No it doesn't. You can have a physically and temporally infinite universe that lacks certain conceivable permutations. Just as in math, you can have an infinite series of integers without any of them being odd numbers. "Infinite" does not necessarily equate to "all-inclusive".
To claim "understanding" or knowledge of something outside of the realm of human comprehension is a contradiction from which no one making the claim can escape. In other words, it is logically impossible to know that anything exists outside of our ability to comprehend it. It is impossible for us to Know things beyond our understanding. It is something other than rational to Assert that something "doesn't exist in human comprehensible terms" (all the while it is being explained in those terms).
You are correct that "we cannot fathom that which is beyond our understanding." No one can. Asserting that one has knowledge gained beyond human understanding could be viewed as the arrogance of irrationality.
I respect someone's right to believe what they want, but let's be honest when it comes to acquiring or claiming knowledge of existence beyond human comprehension...because human comprehension is all we have.
I typically don't take anything on faith; logically, I understand the Big Bang theory more than I do the idea of some supreme being that 'always has been and always will Be.'
Solver- both could be dismissed on the same premise; if one discredits the notion that 'existence exists and always has' because there is a question of time/existence being infinite, how could they argue the existence of an all-powerful, supreme being that has 'always been'...which in itself suggests that he is infinite?
I may have gone off on a tangent, I apologize if I did.
