From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello. My name is  . I am a Pole born and living in France (not for long). I am an ideologist, computer programmer and wannabe linguist and polymath, currently pursuing studies at  . I enjoy learning languages and about them, and I wish to become an hyper-polyglot by the end of my life. After my studies, I wish to live in the Caucasus mountains and I also have the ambition of  .

I use Wikipedia and its sister projects (especially the Wiktionary) daily, and felt like it could be good to start contributing with an account instead of just my IP address. This page consists mostly of me talking about things I've done or want to do, along with a few essays and some aphorisms on topics such as theology.

The Obviousness of Monotheism

[edit]

Introduction

[edit]

This series of small essays aims to logically demonstrate the necessity of the existence of a unique God having created the universe, supposing the least possible number of axioms to support my argument.

On the Createdness of the Universe and the Necessity of the Existence of a Creator

[edit]

Axioms:

  1. The universe is in constant expansion. This is presented as an axiom, as it is not provable here using simply logical reasoning as it would still need another axiom to base itself on. I chose this as an axiom as it is widely accepted by physicists since the first half of the twentieth century and as atheists usually accept this fact as true.

Something that is constantly expanding must have been at some point of a size of 0. As something cannot have a size below 0, the universe was either a) “stuck” at size 0 for an infinite time until a particular point ; or b) created. Explanations a) and b) are actually similar, as the beginning of the expansion of the universe would need a cause to happen at such time. Such a cause would need to exist outside of the universe, and possessing a power great enough to furnish the universe with the energy to start expanding indefinitely. However, we can logically reason that explanation a) lacks actual empirical basis, needing proof of the existence of such a moment (ie. the beginning of the expansion of the universe) and of the existence of the universe before it, which is impossible. Explanation b) thus seems the most plausible one.

Hence lemma 1: the universe was created.

It is impossible for something to have “created itself”: if A creates B, A needs to exist before B. So if A creates A, A needs to exist before A. Absurd.

If we know suppose that our universe is actually part of another universe, we also face another problem: the universe containing our universe needs to itself exist inside another universe. It's an infinite regress.

Thus, necessarily, something that is that it is, a fundamental being, a there-being, a Dasein, exists and has created this universe. Such a Dasein exists out of space, time and matter as we perceive it in this universe.

Hence proposition 1: A fundamental being that simply is, a Dasein, existing outside of time, space and matter as we perceive it.
