Theists, you say there could not have been an infinite series of causal events *before* this one; then you...?

...contradict yourselves and say there WILL be an infinite series of causal events *after* this one. ('this one' = what is happening currently)








Explain.











Self-contradict much?











None of this "everything is possible with [.....]" crap. Unless you want deal with the flip side to your Uncaused Cause: Effectless Effect and an end of all things, the most likely assumption given that The 'effect' of the end of all things would be 'effectless', or in other words an aspatial and atemporal 'nothing'. You cannot attribute to your 'creator' such an anthropocentric cosmological causal bias unless you counter it with an effectual counter-bias.








At the end of the life of the universe, there must exist a great and enormously powerful Effectless Effect which ends all things, destroys all matter and energy and leaves absolutely nothing at all. It cannot 'live' indefinitely as this would be positing an actual infinite.|||*Sigh* Not all Theists think that. It's only Christian literalists who do and that's actually a minority among Christians.





There's times you sound so smart... then you generalize all "Theists" with particular situations like this and it blows it all to hell.








When all we see is one question and it starts off "THEISTS", yes, it would be better if you clarified which Theistic group you are talking to. Otherwise, it IS a generalization.





It's FireShade.|||"...contradict yourselves and say there WILL be an infinite series of causal events *after* this one."





Do I say that? One way or another, the universe is some day going to come to an end.
