In the world, we can see that things are caused. But it is not possible for something to be the cause of itself because this would entail that it exists prior to itself, which is a contradiction. If that by which it is caused is itself caused, then it too must have a cause. But this cannot be an infinitely long chain, so, there must be a cause which is not itself caused by anything further. This everyone understands to be God.

you're an idiot.

the universe doesn't exist in the same way as your consciousness doesn't exist

they are both just an illusion and are not real

illusions do not require a creator

In the world we see things that are possible to be and possible not to be. In other words, perishable things. But if everything were contingent and thus capable of going out of existence, then, nothing would exist now. But things clearly do exist now. Therefore, there must be something that is imperishable: a necessary being.

no it's just a fractal of illusions starting with the illusion of your consciousness and extending to math and the universe being a projection of your consciousness refracted through math ad infinitum in time and space

well almost ... it would be too weird if it was really infinite so they put a cap on it on one end with "big bang" and on the other with "heat death of the universe"

who is they ?

fucking Jews who else LOL
