Speaker B
And in addition, in addition, once you've told me where God comes from, uh, please try to clarify how you can figure that a spiritual force can have an impact on a material universe to create it.
Speaker B
If angels are made of a spiritual matter, and a pen is made of material matter, and spiritual matter displaces no space, how many angels can dance on the tip of a pen?
Speaker C
Time, space, and matter is what we call a continuum. All of them have to come into existence at the same instant.
Speaker C
Because if there were matter but no space, where would you put it?
Speaker C
If there were matter and space but no time, when would you put it?
Speaker C
You cannot have time, space, or matter independently, they have to come into existence simultaneously.
Speaker C
The Bible answers that in 10 words, "In the beginning," there's time, "God created the heaven," there's space, "and the earth," there's matter.
Speaker C
So you have time, space, matter created a Trinity of trinities, they're just, you know, time has past, present, future, space has length, width, height, matter has solid, liquid, gas.
Speaker C
You have a Trinity of trinities created instantaneously, and the God who created them has to be outside of them.
Speaker C
If he's limited by time, he's not God.
Speaker C
The guy who created this computer, he's not running around in there changing the numbers on the screen, okay?
Speaker C
The God who created this universe is outside of the universe, he's above it, beyond it, in it, through it, he's unaffected by it.
Speaker C
So for, and the, the concept that a, a spiritual force cannot have any effect on a material body.
Speaker C
Well then I guess you'd have to explain to me things like emotions, and love, and hatred, and envy, and jealousy, and rationality.
Speaker C
I mean, if your brain is just a random collection of chemicals that formed by chance over billions of years, how on earth can you trust your own reasoning processes and the thoughts that you, you think?
Speaker C
Your question, "Where did God come from?" is assuming a limited God, and that's your problem.
Speaker C
The God that I worship is not limited by time, space, or matter, if I could fit the infinite God in my 3-pound brain, he would not be worth worshipping, that's for certain.
Speaker C
So that's the God that I worship.
Speaker A
I'm so glad I invited Kent to a debate in UC Irvine, he's a good example of being prepared, subscribe to make Christians stronger.
