Why there is something rather than nothing? To believe "no reason" is a leap of faith.https://twitter.com/DavidHarleyBoyd/status/945271746709598208 …

Not true, the
#atheist position is that the universe just happened, its creation and all its contents, including us, is meaninglessly contingent. -
No, it's not. Atheists are just people who disbelieve in gods. They can believe all sorts of shit about the universe. My knowledge of physics is too poor to have an opinion but even the most knowledgeable don't claim to know the reason the universe formed.
-
Christians, Jews and Muslims don’t place their faith in gods either. As for the existence of ‘powers and principalities’, that’s where things can get complicated. Re: physics, the reason, or any reason for the existence of the universe is beyond that science’s epistemic frame.
-
Yes, they do. Yahweh. The reason for the universe is unknown but I'm not sure how you can claim physics won't be the way it is discovered. It's done best so far. Taken us back to the expansion of the universe.
-
No, they don’t. Yahweh is not a god but God, Being itself. It is only due to the the limitations of language that people, absent a close reading of the texts, get the false impression that God is a being among other beings.
-
This is meaningless verbiage until there is some evidence of God. Also, that one appears to be an amalgamation of three gods.
-
There is sufficient evidence for faith in God, and a Trinitarian ontology. In fact, both Catholic and Tibetan Buddhist traditions have similar perspectives. But neither, would constitute knowledge from the liberal enlightenment point of view.
-
Well, no. It's all a bit embarrassing really. Makes me despair of humanity too sometimes but then I see religious people being perfectly reasonable in other areas so I try to remain optimistic.

So many people make this mistake. A rejection of A is not an assertion of ~A. Basic stuff

Sorry
