  2. Problem of the creator of God - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_of_the_creator_of_God

    For the God who created and upholds the universe was not created – he is eternal. He was not 'made' and therefore subject to the laws that science discovered; it was he who made the universe with its laws. Indeed, that fact constitutes the fundamental distinction between God and the universe. The universe came to be, God did not.

  3. Eternal return - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_return

    The proof is based upon the premise that the universe is infinite in duration, but contains a finite quantity of energy. This being the case, all matter in the universe must pass through a finite number of combinations, and each series of combinations must eventually repeat in the same order, thereby creating "a circular movement of absolutely ...

  4. Kalam cosmological argument - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalam_cosmological_argument

    The origins of the cosmological argument can be traced to classical antiquity, rooted in the concept of the prime mover, introduced by Aristotle.In the 6th century, Syriac Christian theologian John Philoponus (c. 490–c. 570) proposed the first known version of the argument based on the impossibility of an infinite temporal regress, postulating that time itself must have had a beginning.

    One thing that would not count as evidence for the anthropic principle is evidence that the Earth or the Solar System occupied a privileged position in the universe, in violation of the Copernican principle (for possible counterevidence to this principle, see Copernican principle), unless there was some reason to think that that position was a ...

    Philoponus's works were adopted by many; his first argument against an infinite past being the "argument from the impossibility of the existence of an actual infinite", which states: [10] "An actual infinite cannot exist." "An infinite temporal regress of events is an actual infinite." "Thus an infinite temporal regress of events cannot exist."

  8. Javelin argument - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Javelin_argument

    The argument fails in the case that the universe might be shaped like the surface of a hypersphere or torus. (Consider a similar fallacious argument that the Earth's surface must be infinite in area: because otherwise one could go to the Earth's edge and throw a javelin, proving that the Earth's surface continued wherever the javelin hit the ...

  9. [3] In other interviews, he stated that he thought that there is a "lawgiver" who sets the laws of the universe. [6] Einstein also stated he did not believe in life after death, adding "one life is enough for me." [7] He was closely involved in his lifetime with several humanist groups.
