No he isn't. Just because some guy comes out of nowhere and starts claiming he is the prophet of Jehova and then dies for his belief doesn't make god real at all. It's as real as the creation of a satirical father who got pissed at his kid's school for being idiots (it wasn't from South Park). Just because there's a billion people believing it doesn't make him any more real. If I write you the Spaghetti Codex which would be the Bible of the Monster would that validate him more?

 Well, if you believed in my holy text, you would not think he came out of nowhere

I will disregard the rest because you are making no sense....  You are just preaching to me now.

That "preaching" isn't actual preaching, it's appeal to logic, I'm sorry if you think it's on the level of what comes out of some religious leader's mouths.

No, that's exactly the point. Both are equally likely (or unlikely), both contradict the laws of physics as we know them, there isn't one that's more "factible" than another. Let's use the probably very known, but always handy Russell's teapot:

If I were to suggest that between the Earth and Mars there is a china teapot revolving about the sun in an elliptical orbit, nobody would be able to disprove my assertion provided I were careful to add that the teapot is too small to be revealed even by our most powerful telescopes. But if I were to go on to say that, since my assertion cannot be disproved, it is an intolerable presumption on the part of human reason to doubt it, I should rightly be thought to be talking nonsense. If, however, the existence of such a teapot were affirmed in ancient books, taught as the sacred truth every Sunday, and instilled into the minds of children at school, hesitation to believe in its existence would become a mark of eccentricity and entitle the doubter to the attentions of the psychiatrist in an enlightened age or of the Inquisitor in an earlier time.

What differentiates God from the FSM? That one is a belief from ancient times and the other was thought by a guy three years ago as a medium of protest. If the FSM were the ancient one and God the three year old theory, you'd find the FSM believable and God's theory crazy

No, I'm suggesting that the oscillating universe idea implies that an infinite amount of time has already passed, which is impossible.  I'm not saying that time couldn't keep going, I'm saying that we can't have crossed an infinite period of time.

Why cant we have crossed an infinite amount of time?

By your own definition wouldn't God, who was not created, have been here for an infinite amount of time?  Or do you believe that time is not infinite and instead that God and time started at a certain point?

I can tell you this - I know He exists. I have had numerous visions - seeing things before they happen. I saw one where my mom died - and I prayed for her and wrote about her in my diary. Like a month or so later, my mom was nearly in a fatal accident. My bro told me she almost died twice - once an 18-wheeler going to the Grand Canyon swerved to avoid another car and missed my mom's van by inches - and it didn't shake. That same trip - on the way back down, a boulder nearly took out her van - and instead totaled a guy's Porsche.

My brother told me and I was relived. However, when I was moving out, my mom saw my diary and started reading it. And it happened to be on that entry. She just started reading, read she was going to die soon and confronted me. I told her 'Shoot, I prayed and the Lord said you would be ok.'

Another instance - I saw my wife, son and lil gurl back in 1998. I didn't recognize my wife - I thought the woman was a Hispanic woman, stacked - and a boy, about 7, and a girl about 4. And then, I saw myself. I was 38-39 but slim and hot.

Anyhow, I was coming back from Russia, and shocked - I was like 'Dang, my wife is hot - and I have two children!'

Now, 10 years later, I'm married, my wife is hot and I have two children - a boy 5 and my girl, almost 2. Not only I saw my wife, but accurately saw my children and their birth order.

No, I'm not a psychic, but I see things before they happen - sometimes. I saw doom a few times had I kept going the route I was going. Once, I saw me dying over Iraq after being shot down. Another time, right before I got with my wife, I saw I was married to this Latina and she died in my arms.

Lastly, it's too much going on that was predicted in the Bible that's happening now. I have been a Christian since 1992 and I can tell you, He'll change your life.

Romans 10:9 FTW!

For the same reason no one can count up to and past infinity.  For example, if the universe has been around for 6 hours, then that means the universe had gone through 6 hours of time.  If the universe had been around for an infinite amount of time, then that would mean that the universe had gone through an infinite amount of time.  And there is no way to get past an infinite amount of time, just as much as infinity can never be reached.

This problem does not apply to a postulated nonphysical being, however, because time is a property of the physical realm.  God has not had to endure forever because there is no forever, and no time at all, for him.

screw it.. Guess I hate to break it to you... But we are in....


THE MATRIX!!!

Essentially, what you are saying is that time in the spiritual realm can be infinite but time in the physical realm cannot.  God was hanging out in a spiritual realm for an infinite amount of time in the past and will be there for an infinite amount of time in the future, but for whatever reason this cant be for the physical realm.  Thats with the huge assumption that there is a spiritual realm.

I also fail to understand why time in the physical realm cannot be infinite.  Do you think that in the future, time will all the sudden stop and come to an end?
