In a stable reality such as ours, the law of cause and effect governs much of what happens. However, some people, though they realize this, are unable to put it together with other facts. Facts such as time flowing forwards, and the many theories that attempt to explain our very existence. I, however, believe I have done just that. This is my new disproof of atheism. First, I must establish that nothing can just pop out of nowhere, lest this reality be unstable (a term I use to describe realities in which THERE IS NO 'cause and effect'). Contrary to the popular atheistic belief that every particle of matter, energy, and other whatnot in the universe had always been there (this theory is present in all of the atheistic start-of-the-universe theories that I have heard of, for without it, those theories would essentially assume that the universe came from nothing, which I had already established not to be the case), such would mean that the matter would have an infinite past. An infinite past inside the control of time is impossible if time does not (literally) flow backwards, which we all know it does not, for if it did, our perception of reality would flow backwards and cease to exist once the memories in our experiences are passed by. Now we've established that time does not flow backwards, and infinite pasts can only exist if it did. However, there is one exception to this rule. Let's assume that there was something that existed OUTSIDE of time. Outside of time, there is NO change, and when outside of time, you are in a state of constant being, where you are simultaneously thinking, doing, consuming, etc. whatever you would have done sequentially inside of time, and to add to that, you are immortal, therefore adding to what you are constantly doing outside of time. Since you are now knowing all that you will ever know, you are, at this point, potentially omnipotent. But let's not get too distracted by what it's like outside of time. Only when something exists outside of time can it exist forever, for in a realm with no change, if it exists at all, it existed forever. Anther way to put it is "If it is, it always was, and always will be" outside of time. This being that exists outside of time must be the omnipotent being that is depicted in monotheistic religions, and possibly several other religions.
If you see any flaws with this, please tell me, and I will see if the flaw is true, and post a reply accordingly.
It is this type of reasoning that makes me shiver…with delight.
Taking a page out of Mr. G’s playbook I disprove you thusly:
Your investment in your own logical reasoning is as flawed as your invested non use of a comma.
You….let me remain civil here, poor fellow;
The concept of existence relies on temporality.
Something is said to exist when it has a temporal and spatial character.
Existence is the state of Becoming, Something or Nothing (absolute), but never actually getting there.
Once you take away one of these characteristics, such as a theoretical singularity - you poor fellow - the theoretical phenomenon drops out of time/space and ceases to exist.
To exist is to be in a state of flux – that is to have infinite potential, in a temporal/spatial context.
Thinking is a temporal/spatial phenomenon.
We think so as to more efficiently navigate or focus our wills. We create because we are imperfect.
A theoretical omnipotent being would have no need, and therefore no desire and therefore no reason to create or to do anything.
Thinking would be obsolete, because an omniscient, omnipotent being would have nothing to think about.
Why would perfection need to do anything?
Consciousness is a method unities use to self-realize.
Furthermore what
everything is in a state of change, flux, instability.
, such would mean that the matter would have an infinite past.
....and what would it mean for a God?
flow backwards, which we all know it does not, for if it did, our perception of reality would flow backwards and cease to exist once the memories in our experiences are passed by
You poor fool, how do you know which way time flows?
And if it flows in every direction how would you perceive it?
However, there is one exception to this rule.
But, of course, there is. An exception that makes you feel nice, no doubt.
Outside of time, there is NO change, and when outside of time, you are in a state of constant being, where you are simultaneously thinking, doing, consuming, etc.
Let us then also assume that little green men lived in my closet.

Jesus, this guy is whacked.
How does something exist outside of time and how is it then a something?

The biggest flaw I see rests between your ears. But don't sweat it, that isn't your fault.
