Dn rd he doesn’t existLearn the Contingency Argument, it is impossible to debunk
The argument is pretty straight forward
There are 3 types of existences:
• Impossible existences: Something which cannot be like a squared circle
• Possible existences: It has 3 characteristics, 1-It's dependant (The thing relies on something else in order for it to exist). 2-It could have been any other way. (Some determinists say it couldn't. It could be any other way if you exclude it's dependance of the Necessary Being. A determinist is someone who believes in a causal chain of events, however if you delete the causal chain and you have just this thing in isolation by itself, then this thing could be in any other way, so there is no requirement for it to be in any other way.) 3-If you take it out of existence absurdities don't happen (In other words, existence does not depend on it. For example 23 years ago i wasn't born, which means all of existence doesn't require me to exist for it's own existence)
• Necessary existences: Something which all Possible Existences depends upon, and it depends upon nothing (if you don't have this, you will not have existence)
The contingency argument is: There cannot be a world of only Possible Existences. Therefore, there must be a Necessary Existence
Analogy: If i go to the sea, i know there must be a sea floor. I know that because i realize that water cannot continously balance upon itself and hold itself up without there being a foundational thing which holds it up, mantains it, sustains it.
• The Necessary Existence must be always existing (Post-Eternal and Pre-Eternal). If there was a time where the Neccesary Existence is not an existence then there could not be any existence.
• The Necessary Existence must be Uncaused. Someone might not believe in causation, that doesn't matter because if it was Caused, then what it is Caused by? It leads to Infinite Regression.
• It must be Self Suficient. Everything depends upon it and it depends upon nothing. Otherwise it would be a Possible Existence. Everything goes back to it.
Quick Resume: Either things are Dependant, or they are Independent, and you cannot have Regress of Dependent things, therefore there must be One Thing that is Independent.
Then what is the matter in your case, you want an argument for the existence of a Creator or you just want a justification for the Creator not existing?Dn rd he doesn’t exist
