...c matt, see <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7PMvfMslHk&feature=player_embedded" rel="nofollow">here at 1:45</a> about <i>creatio continuo</i>.<br /><br />Without a Will (in Love) keeping the universe going, the universe would stop going on.<br /><br />The problem with the first paragraph is that atheists cannot accept any explanation of God in that they have reasons for themselves not to believe. There is usually a positively negative <i>credo</i>, if you will, in their thinking about their being in the universe. Of course, it all depends with which Atheist one is debating.Gutterball Masterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07950081663822774046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576925179178749401.post-88532987315643803042011-01-18T12:56:13.188-05:002011-01-18T12:56:13.188-05:00I think the atheist's answer is misrepresented...I think the atheist's answer is misrepresented - it is not that there is no explanation, it is more that no explanation can be known (or derived through reason).<br /><br />Personally, I disagree - an explanation can be reached by reason, although that explanation may not be as full and complete as an atheist may desire. Reason can discover that the universe has a Creator. I don't really see how you can reason to the Christian God being said Creator - that can only come from revelation. However, based upon revelation, the case for the Christian God being that Creator is reasonable.c mattnoreply@blogger.com
