Ex nihilo nihil fit (from nothing, nothing is produced).
Pretty much a universal law.
From this we can deduce that if the universe exists now, it was either created by God (an entity representing infinite) or it has always existed. There are no other possibilities. If God didn't create it, and it hasn't always existed, it couldn't have popped out of nowhere, because then it contradicts ENNF. Universal heat death is not possible as long as ENNF stands; what are the odds of us living in a fixed segment of time followed by an infinite of universal heat death? It is "any number/infinity" which is a number so small it is effectively zero.
So then:
A) Universe was created by God
There is an end to the universe. God decides what happens to us after death, and after the expiration of the universe.
B) Universe has always existed
If there is an eternity behind us and an eternity in front of us, then we can safely assume anything that CAN happen HAS happened infinite times and WILL happen infinite more times. That means humanity has and will exist forever, in an infinitely recursive loop. Also implies that our consciousness will be reborn after each revolution, and we will live our lives identically in every second, thought, and little detail. Indirectly implies every moment of our lives will conclusively last an eternity, because any portion of infinite, regardless of how minute, is still infinite. Nietzsche anyone?
Anyway whether or not you take this seriously, I don't really care. Come to think of it, I don't know why I even posted this. Just had a philosophical discussion and I'm feeling typey. Also looking for actual philosophy peoples to make me look like a fool.

I only made this second post because spammers (deleted already) were raging about 2012.

It's OK, hell is a place of LARPs and nerds; We'll play dungeons and dragons for all eternity! How fun is that?
Alternative 2 is the right one, which means that your post really doesn't mean ****.
In this universe, nothing really matters, nothing really makes a difference.
I'd advice everyone to suicide in order to end their miserable lives full of nothing.
Likewise
If god exsist he is a **** because he don't help people
No one ever said he had to be a good guy! Why people get so stuck on the fact that god or whatever has to be all good and stuff is beyond me.
Also, here's the real story of 2012:
Like 1100AD
<Mayan Dude 1> Man, we got this calender done till like 900 years from now, can we be done yet?
<Mayan Dude 2> Ok, I guess. People can do more later.
*Mayans die
where did god come from?
If god was a bad guy and if he exsist, he is a **** because he do absolutely nothing, he don't go in the street with guns and kill people.
Yes but if he's not good then why praise him?
And i loled at the mayans story xD
It's funny because vacuums constantly produce electromagnetic particles.
Vacuum still has energy.
k i'll try
first possible problem with your argument is that you limit yourself to 2 possible causes only - either God created the universe, otherwise nothing else did and the universe has always existed.
even though you go on to argue "if God didn't create it [the universe]" that is rather flawed logic, because there could have been other origins. [the Big Bang theory for example]
based on this i'm likely to dismiss your reasoning, since you do not admit other causes of the universe in your argument.

Need a place to discuss private clan business?
Or are you looking for a place to discuss StarCraft II?
This would be a good place to start -->
Just thought id say that the big bang theory is as much bullshit of a theory as god not creating the universe. Big Bang Theory if i recall was also thought to be an unsupported theory by now.
Sometimes there really isn't an answer we as humans can provide.

You make zero sense. There aren't only two options here. There isn't 'well it was either here forever, or god made it.' Do you know how the Earth was formed? Because it started with a huge collision in space where a meteor chunk got thrown into our Suns orbit, and sat there collecting other small pieces of rock for millions of years. The entire planet was nothing but liquid magma at one point. Boom, in comes ANOTHER planet or celestial body mass to scrape the top part of the Earth, causing it to recollect itself with all the iron and such towards the middle (core) and the rest towards the outer (how we got the mantle). The Moon is just the leftovers from the planet that crashed into Earth during it's formation, and millions of years of space debree which started, literally, as pieces of rock/meteor that literally cannot be seen by the naked eye.
We haven't unlocked **** so far as knowing how things work. In reality, if you wanna get into it, we (as humans) might know .0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% of the total knowledge of the universe. For all we know there's a master race that's been around for eons that created earth and genetically created humans and threw us on here.
EVERYTHING about the universe is speculation at this point, to say a definite "god made it or it's always been" is just foolish and ignorant. Oh, and it's also someone trying to sound a lot more deep / philosophical than they really are.
The universe was created by the Humans that existed before the last Big Bang. Those Humans were created by the other humans that existed before the last 2 Big Bangs. And so on.
Everything is too perfect in this universe. If the speed of light was just 1 digit different, everything would be COMPLETELY different.
The purpose of the human race is to create and maintain intelligence.
Now flame me :P
You're absolutely right, if **** in the universe was different **** would be different. We're here cause stuff is how it is. Now that we've gotten that out of the way let's start learning something hard like colors.
Everything in the universe is far from "too perfect".
You gonna tell me that black holes, which can annihilate entire galaxies at a time, or dying suns that shoot Gamma Rays out for lightyears on end are part of "too perfect?"
There's huge chunks of the universe out there that are in complete and total turmoil just because they didn't have the perfect combination that we have.
It's all just a numbers game. Somewhere, eventually, Earth and Sol were going to be created in a way that could sustain life.
Now what will really flip your mind and drive you crazy if you really think about it, is that the Big Bang and most other theroies on how the universe started will tell you that it's basically one side of the universe mirroed to the next.
Which means, possibly, that somewhere out there, millions upon millions of light years away (talking absolutely other end), is another earth, with people posting on this same message board.
Except they're all nazi's there because the Nazi regime won.
I will easily say now... Is the drug that you are on availiable over the counter?Everything in the universe is far from "too perfect".
Uh.. Look lower down your idea of perfect bro. That's just how things work. Things happen for a reason and simply saying its just a release of energy.You gonna tell me that black holes, which can annihilate entire galaxies at a time, or dying suns that shoot Gamma Rays out for lightyears on end are part of "too perfect?"
Yes and now we still dont care for those parts of the universe.There's huge chunks of the universe out there that are in complete and total turmoil just because they didn't have the perfect combination that we have.
Let me guess you play HoN religiously and Sol is your savior?It's all just a numbers game. Somewhere, eventually, Earth and Sol were going to be created in a way that could sustain life.
mirrored* Please elaborate more because this is seemingly incomplete due to lack of arguement backup.Now what will really flip your mind and drive you crazy if you really think about it, is that the Big Bang and most other theroies on how the universe started will tell you that it's basically one side of the universe mirroed to the next.
Possible but not probable.Which means, possibly, that somewhere out there, millions upon millions of light years away (talking absolutely other end), is another earth, with people posting on this same message board, except they're all nazi's there because the Nazi regime won.
