I suggest you keep repeating and practising. I appreciate your efforts but you haven’t explained your position “better”. I suppose the same applies to me. Profound issues like the universe and infinity are difficult to discuss even for people who share a common language. I regret I have no other language but English.
“If i told you i’m going to count to infinity and when i finish, you start running for example. thinking that you’re eventually going to run, it’s like infinite regress exist. which is nonsense. if infinite regress exists then we will never exist.”
This clever word game is actually nonsense itself. It only explains infinity is infinity. You count to infinity (for infinity), I never run (for infinity). It does not describe ‘infinite regress’ (counting to infinity would be an infinite progress). And you only make the assumption that nothing can happen in an infinite reality without reasonable explanation. You tried but it doesn’t make sense.
The terms finite and infinite only define duration or quantity. Neither defines any other qualities or conditions or characteristics.
“Since there is a first cause, how can anything other than this first cause be god ? the first cause is god because this first cause was alone before creating everything. he was alone because he is first cause so to speak.”
This is a circular string of unevidenced speculations about a presumed ‘first cause’. It carries no explanation for the properties of either reality or gods. The first cause could be anything and not necessarily a god. Why not poetry-loving trans-dimensional beings from the fifth dimension? You can’t prove they don’t exist or didn’t create the universe as a result of an experiment gone wrong, any more than you can prove the involvement of any supernatural god.
It’s not because I am an atheist, but because I care about what is true that I follow one rational scientific explanation (derived from the confirmed research of a Catholic priest, Lemaitre, who cautioned his Pope, denying his findings proved the creation of the universe), that this universe at some point reached Planck Time (Planck, I add, if you were not aware, was a devout Christian). What occurred before Planck Time is not known. The most recent scientific findings in cosmology have no conclusive answers, leaving us only to reasoned speculation, but it does so from a secure grounding of physics, chemistry and quantum physics, and not from the hopeful imaginings of ancient philosophising superstitious priests.
I’ll spare you the details of my speculations about pre-Planck Time, other than to say it includes the great probability that the ‘big bang’ was not the creation or beginning of reality, (as Lemaitre warned) but just one single event in an infinite chain of events, in an infinite regress.
This view, shared by many, is just as rational if not more so, than any about supernatural gods.
Here’s a few questions that occurred to me while writing:
Did the void have a beginning?
Was the void created?
Is the void infinite?
…edited for clarity…
had so much “faith” that it just turned to “madness”.
