void.
You and I arrive at this void.
Let us examine it and compare the data that we've found...
void
noun
1.
a completely empty space.
"the black void of space"
synonyms: vacuum, emptiness, nothingness, nullity, blankness, vacuity.
2.
(in bridge and whist) a suit in which a player is dealt no cards.
The backroad ends here, and we seemingly cannot continue on. We see absolutely no thing. Absolute nothingness. There are no gasses. There are no atoms. No photons of light. There are absolutely no building blocks for any thing. Let alone life.
One or both of us are lost. I come up with a plan. We can just hitch a ride back forward when it all re-begins. We both hold up our thumbs to hitch a ride. That which can carry you back has to spring from this nothingness. This void. Without assistance from a person or thing. That's going to be a hell of a magic trick from where I'm standing. Can you explain your beliefs to me from here?
Beyond that void my beliefs supply an answer. This answer is supplied within the Bible, which I believe contains the written WORD OF GOD. The Bible claims this to be true.
Mankind knows the concept of 0 and 1. It is among the first things learned as a child.
"Mom, I want one! But Susie has one. I don't have any."
"I'm first in line. You all get behind me and wait your turn."
And a child will grill you to death.
["Where'd that come from?" "Well where did that come from?" "Well who put it there?"]
When a child looks up into the heavens she always begins with a "Where" did all the stars come from? Even we, as a child, in our limited time on Earth, intuitively understand that the Sun, the Moon and the stars didn't just place themselves there.
A more poignant piece of child logic. "Where did the baby come from mommy?" "Well how did it get there?" Skirt around the truth all we want, but the child will continue until she gets a logical answer that she can wrap her mind around. And that will default, always, to a "Who put it there?"
The kid in all of us begs for that same closure. ' "What," put the universe there?" ' will always give way to "Who" put the universe there. Because it is intuitive that in the beginning there was nothing. An not even entropy will give us something, out of nothing.
A Christian's Bible [claims] to know [Who] is responsible. That same source of a wealth of information supplies an introduction by the Supreme being himself [claiming] to be our Creator.
King James Bible
Exodus 3:14
And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
Revelation 22:13
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
Now I don't know anyone else claiming to be GOD, or to know how it all began. Do you?
All I am saying is that there is someone taking the rap for it all. He tells us a little about himself. He claims to know us all and not only introduces us to his only begotten Son, but he sacrifices his Son, for us. No other owner's and user's manual of the universe exists. But we have one. Why not consider it, until you can find another. If you don't already have one job, you don't refuse an honest way to make a living until you've got another. And not just another prospect, because prospects have this funny way of not panning out.
Bracket for a moment that people use good for bad. That is just people. Our fight is with the evil within people. We fight with powers and principalities. Bracket the fact that the Bible has been translated and retranslated much. The gist of it still remains. There is a Supreme Being.
Herein lies an explanation. It makes logical sense even if you say it doesn't make believable sense. Christians are supposed to be playing with an incomplete deck. But at least our beliefs deal us in and our beliefs provide an explanation of creation and a "Who."
John 1 King James Version (KJV)
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
Considering the second meaning of void
2. ... in which a player is dealt no cards.
There exists NO chance to even play.
Non believers say there is no God, but they will not posit how the first electron appeared out of nothing.
Unless you believe that all matter always existed.
If so, then your beliefs echo existentialism.
We're trying to get to the root of things — of creation — and the root word of existentialist is exist. Matter always existing sounds familiarly to me, like infinite being.
Cause and effect.
If
In The Beginning there was nothing to be effected and you say there was no one to cause it too?
Then
It seems we are dead in space with less than a snowball's chance in H-E-double hockey sticks or a prayer if you are correct.
Wait! There are no snowballs either. Just ether.
