This is actually hard to prove. Why cant something come from nothing. Some high minded physicists think they can show it possible
Well, so long as they only
think they can show it, until they actually show it there isn’t much of conversation to be had.
If there is repeating pattern in nature it may simply mean nature takes the easiest path most often. What makes the path? Could be something as mundane as a cows random wanderings down the hill eventually causing a rut for the water to follow.
Yes, that is actually the point I am making. Nature can be explained simply by observing it. The chances of a universe randomly coming into existence with an order of things that can be understood by us creatures is less likely than shaking a box full of computer parts and finding a fully assembled computer.
From our tainted perspective perhaps. Dolphins for example it is beginning to be believed are as intelligent, possibly even more so than humans.
What is your measure of intelligence? Do dolphins think abstractly? Do they ponder their existence? Do they practice religion? Do they take interest in exploring and understanding the world? Dolphins are hardly as complex of a creature as humans. Do you attribute it all to their lack of thumbs?
One possibility is that some people become so desperate to be a part of something bigger than themselves that they are willing to die for it
Only they weren’t willing to die with Christ. What changed their mind if the resurrection wasn’t real? What changed Paul’s mind? He already believed he was part of something greater, serving God by destroying the “cult”.
Indeed it is, and I believe some things will never be explained.
I never claimed these arguments as proof, for if there was any proof of God there would not be faith. Taken together though, along with prayer and personal experience, and perhaps better arguments made by apologists and theologians it is certainly reason to believe.
