The fact that somebody doesn’t know the basic distinction between induction and deduction, frightens me.. though I’m not surprised, since it’s coming from an apologist

I have no idea why people think that the universe having a beginning implies God’s existence.. The Kalam Cosmological argument is awful, though it’s flaws are somewhat subtle but detrimental

Kalam was persuasive to me initially but not at all anymore. The arguments doesn’t even make sense philosophically (which is usually how I address the argument first).

The main and most detrimental flaw is that it equivocates on its usage of the word causality.. its a beautiful counterargument

I think the phrase “begins to exist” is also ill-defined and is often equivocated as well.

I think time is ill-defined at the beginning of the universe tbh

It breaks down once things get Planckian. Without quantum gravity it's meaning breaks down. Maybe it's discreet jumps...maybe even loops when things were that small..

Oh yeah that. I try not to bring QG up as there’s no evidence suggesting it’s true yet but yes the point about Planck level is a good one. I suppose QG can still be brought up as a model though, just not one with evidence.

Right I believe all @cenobyte3 was saying was that time is ill defined at the Planck scale, because we don’t have QMG
