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.)

    Take your infinite time theory. If that were the case for the universe, then one must conclude that every possible permutation of existence has already existed, and currently exists. Since this can be shown as not to be true, then we must conclude that the universe had some start and must have some end.

    Evidence shows that the universe, as we understand it, had a beginning point - the Big Bang. What existed prior to that is unknown, and perhaps unknowable with any human derived science. What we can conclude is that it wasn't the "universe" as we understand it. If there weren't any universe, then could there be "existence" in a sense that you want to define it? I think not.

    So, we are left with non-existence that came into being. How can such a thing occur of its own volition - the universe created itself? That seems illogical. Thus, the universe must have been created. Only if you want to call your "existence" God, which you negate by the very question, does this make any sense. Thus, your question is non-sensical.

    God is existence is the only answer.

    I created this new topic because other topics on current politics were being flooded by non-political discussion from both the faithful and non-faithful.
