This Thread PROVES God entirely!
It doesn't actually prove God's existence.
First, the claim that "you cannot say that matter/energy has been around forever because it hasn't been proven" is erroneous. There are a thousand things and more in this world that haven't been proven (gravity, for one), yet we accept that they exist.
Second, matter and energy CANNOT BE CREATED OR DESTROYED. If there was an outside energy source, it would have to begin somewhere. There is no basis for an eternal energy outside the universe. Why should that exist?
Third, the movie argues that the complexity in the universe points to a higher intelligence. In actuality, highly complex systems can arise on their own from exceedingly simple rules. This has been demonstrated time and time again.
Fourth, do you know what intelligence is? It is general mental agility that is an evolutionary trait of some higher life forms. It is a survival advantage produced by interacting neurons in the brain. Why would this distinctly human trait be manifest outside the universe? Outside the universe, there is nothing. Not just empty space, simply nothing whatsoever.
Fifth, it says at the end that if I cannot accept that logic, I'm stubborn, and basically afraid of God. No, not really. I merely find its arguments based upon their lack of comprehension of how a universe can develop without external aid.
By the way, folks, we're taking a break from God discussion topics. I shall now hereby lock this thread.
