Right, Sledge and I have both mentioned this. It doesn't answer the question of where we came from. It says we didn't come from anywhere. We weren't created for any purpose. We just happen to exist. Now God also wasn't created, but God is defined as what's necessary. It's going to be quite a rework of the cosmological argument to make room for an infinite number of necessary causal agents.

If Mormons wish to endorse an atheistic universe where we abandon the big questions, I'm open for that. But MG can't brag both about believing in a Big God who created everything and gave us purpose and also believe that we are uncreated beings at the same time.

Wang NOT Hung, what would you like me to answer?

Sledge,

Let’s be honest—the idea that we just happen to exist is the philosophical equivalent of shrugging your shoulders and walking away from a difficult puzzle. It's a remarkably lazy answer to the most profound question, especially from a religion that claims to have all the answers - like Mormonism.

And while defining God as a necessary causal agent is all well and good, trying to make room for an infinite number of necessary causal agents sounds less like a theology and more like trying to fit an infinite number of clowns into an already crowded cosmic clown car.

I bet you’re glad you’re no longer Mormon, or were you lying about that too?

You may find a solution to that problem here: Best Auto dealer near Hilbert, WI

I’ve lost track of who is who among sock puppets…. Am I supposed to be Sledge?

HoH = MG?

I confess I am not “Sledge” if that was the belief lol

The way it was conveyed to me is that we are all forms of intelligence and have been for eternity.

This. Frankly I am honored that the Dean took time to present today.

Don't forget about Hound's contribution that we are the stuff of stars.

Forget about who this person is—who even knows anymore? Sledge, A.F., Nolan, Hound Dog, Flemming, Salvete... they're apparently all the same guy. He's supposedly an octogenarian who, back in '75, drove his son from the mainland to a Pacific island just to watch General Conference. You can't make this stuff up.

Drat - although I'm not a sock, I can't say "sibboleth", I mean "skibboleth", I mean ... Dang - I guess I'm going to be slain at the passages of Jordan

I considered playing along as of if I were a sock for Gadianton but matching his writing style was too challenging lol
