Re: One thing I've never understood:
Your argument for god's existence is an old one. It's called the First Cause argument. The universe has evolved for 14 billion years. Everything has a cause all the way back to the first nanosecond of the big bang. So what caused that? Of course the religionists say god. The problem with the first cause argument is obvious though: What caused god?
The most common answer is "god always existed." But then why couldn't matter and the universe always have existed? And what did god do FOR ALL ETERNITY before one day deciding to create something besides himself?
Sorry Johannes, this argument has been tossed into the philosophical trash long ago.
