They could, if they cared to research that much, which many don't seem to want to do.

Then why are you quoting the price of ultra, which is something completely different?

You're right that the theory is not about God, but explains the origins of the universe.

How so? I don't see what you mean here, it doesn't explain anything, it just builds a level of assumptions on top of something, basically explaining something with an untested hypothesis.

what I said about God is what I think is a logical conclusion.

If you Agree to the premises I guess, but I don't, so it explains nothing.

If something has a beginning, then it must have been kickstarted somehow.

Then who kickstarted god? Or does he/she/it for some reason get special treatment here? (This is special pleading)

What kickstarted it is by definition its creator.

If I kick a stone down a hill I did not create the stone even though I set it in motion.

And this applies to our universe, in my opinion.

Hmm, I don't see how you evade an infinite regression here, unless you break your own rules and give one link in the chain an "eternal always existing" modifier. We don't know that anything eternal exist, or even that our universe isn't eternal (extisting eternally as a singularity before spreading or a part of a bigger multiverse that we cannot perceive)

It is merely a statement that they must exist.

It is just assuming that something must exist, since you're building your logic on very shaky premises that we cannot prove.

An effect must have a cause.

Must it? Or have we just never seen the contrary (black swan fallacy) Who caused god? like I said before you can't get away from that without special pleading.

I apologize for sounding pretentious earlier, that was not my intention, but I can see how it came off as such. And apologize for misunderstanding your intentions as well.

Water under the bridge :) No worries :)

Also I notice you have some downvotes. Just want to clarify that it is not me.

No worries, I don't care about the votes, interactions are worth way more than someone clicking an arrow :)

But that's a theory isn't it? I haven't seen any scientific theories to gods how do we know anything about a god, much less what the nature of their being? It's just not based on anything, (therefore my allusions to magic)

I don't enjoy your tone policing.. There are ways to do that without sounding pretentious and holier than though, please keep that in mind for the next time.

Why do you think the universe needs a beginning, but there are special rules for your god because of?... magic?

How likely do you think it is that even with the heavy push anything more than a small percentage of people will switch.

Now it works wonderfully :D

Yeah, I was able to see it in firefox, but then I can't register for it ;)

Hmm doesn't seem like I can get to the preregister page in the austrian google play store @ljdawson@lemmy.world

It's kind of really hard to say if I belive in something or not when you don't offer a definition, I don't believe in anything outside of the brain, consiousness and what makes me me, which could be a definition of soul, I do believe in, but again, that's just a result of my brain braining.

Well it was basically just from my personal experience with giving time estimates for projects ;)
