We base our conclusion that a Creator indeed does exist on the following premises:
1. We are existing at the moment
2. Before we were in existance, a series of events took place, leading up to our existance. (The passing of these events are what we measure in time.
We are compelled to acknowledge that the series of events had a beginning, since if we were to say that they are eternal, we would have to say that eternity came to an end upon our birth and this is a contradiction in terms.
We could further illustrate the point like this: It is like if someone said “this car will only get to its destination after its wheels have spun infinitely many times,” and then claimed that the car arrived at its destination. It is clear, however, that the car could never have gotten to its destination if an infinite number of spins was the condition for its arrival.
It is thus clear that these series of events had a beginning, hence gad a cause, hence the need for them to be brought into existence through something other than itself, thus the need for a creator…
If anyone can detect any logical flaws in my argument, please leave a comment. Warning: Not all comments will be accepted.
not impossible to reach thewall.As for the statement, “youneed infinite steps to reach that
wall,” itmeans that reaching thewall is impossible, as it is impossible to finish infinite steps
beforereachingthewall.Similartothisistheonewhoclaimsthattheworldhasnobeginning,
for it would be like saying it takes infinite events to reach the presentmoment, which is a
contradiction and thus impossible.
