God EXISTING is why everything exists. God LIVING is why everything is created and reproducing. God's existence and living requirements determine everything that happens. But as component parts, we are not privy to the whys, but we can investigate the hows. No need for the Creator/Creation nonsense to distract the discussions and no need for any concern over what powers God does or doesn't have.

That is your opinion. There is no reason for anyone else to accept it.

I would say that everything existing is why the universe exists.

then, what is the best notion, or idea, that would be the best descriptor of the universe we have?

non life? life? what?

The universe is just way to big, so lets chop it down to size.

The immediate system we are in in? whats the best descriptor we have?

life? nonlife? virus?

pick one and see if it matches peoples behavior we see.

1) non life

does what we see people doing match the claim of non-life?

lmao ... sure does.

lests change the word non-life to "natural"?

well, any knuckle head sees that everything is natural so thats out.

no more reason to accept his view than accepting basing everything we say your (anti-religious) central dogma.

If memory serves, you mentioned that this is your belief "one or two" times before
Is there some reason for doing so yet again?

That's the sort of thing you can expect on a religion and spirituality forum.

It’s true because you say so.

It still doesn't answer as to where or how your God came to be. I see where if we all assume that there is a God and he always was there would be no problem. But if we all agreed that Napi is the only one true God then which God is no longer needed to be discussed.

Assuming that MysticPhD is always absolutely correct eliminates the need for any discussion at all, but is that a goal that everyone wants?
