/b/ - A Cumulative Case for God’s Existence

A Cumulative Case for God’s Existence
No single argument “proves” God in the way a math equation proves a theorem. But taken together, multiple lines of reasoning—from philosophy, science, history, and human experience—form a powerful cumulative case that belief in God is rational and compelling.

1. Cosmological Argument (Existence Itself)
Why does anything exist rather than nothing? The universe had a beginning (Big Bang, finite past time). Contingent things require a cause. Tracing causes back points to a necessary, uncaused reality—the “ground of being.” This aligns with the idea of God as eternal source.

2. Fine-Tuning Argument (Order in Nature)
The fundamental constants of physics (gravity, electromagnetism, expansion rate of the universe, etc.) are precisely balanced to permit life. The odds against this happening by chance are astronomically low. Either multiverse speculation accounts for it, or there’s intentional calibration—what many call design.

3. Argument from Consciousness
Matter arranged by blind forces doesn’t explain subjective experience—our awareness, thoughts, qualia. Consciousness seems irreducible to chemistry. If mind exists fundamentally, it makes more sense under a universe grounded in a divine Mind rather than blind matter.

4. Moral Argument
We all recognize objective moral values: that cruelty is truly wrong, that love and justice are truly good. If morality were just social convention, we’d have no basis to condemn slavery, genocide, or oppression across cultures. The reality of binding moral truth points to a transcendent moral lawgiver.

5. Argument from Beauty
Beauty has no survival necessity, yet it pierces us with meaning—sunsets, music, art. It resonates with a sense of transcendence, suggesting there is more to reality than utility. Many see beauty as a window to the divine.

/b/ - What if nobody is damned forever?

What if nobody is damned forever?
I’ve been thinking about something. Everyone has heard the usual Heaven/Hell setup: you live, you die, you get judged, and then it’s eternal paradise or eternal torment. Simple. Clean. Terrifying.

But here’s the thing—what if that picture is wrong? What if it was never about God running a cosmic prison system? What if it’s about restoration?

Christian universalism says something wild: that all souls, no matter how broken or lost, will ultimately be reconciled to God. Not instantly, not painlessly—justice still matters—but in the end, there’s no eternal cut-off. No infinite torture. Just a love that doesn’t quit.

Imagine if that’s true. Imagine if the worst human being you can think of still has a path back to wholeness. Imagine if every single soul, every single one of us, is destined for redemption—because God refuses to let go.

I know some of you hate religion. Some of you probably think this is cope, or wishful thinking. Fair enough. But ask yourself: which vision of reality feels more like truth? A God who creates billions of souls just to watch most of them burn forever… or a God who heals everything, no matter how long it takes?

I’m not saying “believe in Jesus or else.” I’m saying: what if the universe itself is rigged for mercy? What if love is the last word?

Would you live differently if you believed nobody was ever truly lost?
/x/ - Evidence/Skepticism of God

Evidence/Skepticism of God
From the standpoint of what’s widely documented and studied, there isn’t anything that fully meets the strict criteria for a “verified miracle” — that is, an event directly violating natural laws, independently verified, and impossible to explain by science, probability, or human action.

That said, there are several categories of events that are sometimes cited as miraculous or extraordinary:

1. Spontaneous Medical Recoveries

Example: Cases of cancer or other terminal illnesses that spontaneously regress without known medical explanation.

Sometimes documented in medical literature (e.g., “spontaneous remission”).

Limitation: While rare and unexplained, these events could have unknown natural causes or statistical anomalies; they are not definitively supernatural.

2. Apparitions and Visions

Example: Marian apparitions (like Lourdes or Fatima).

Thousands of witnesses claim extraordinary experiences, sometimes with reported physical effects (healing, stigmata, or unusual phenomena).

Limitation: Difficult to verify objectively; heavily influenced by perception, expectation, and culture. No independent scientific validation confirms a supernatural cause.

3. Religious Phenomena with Physical Correlates

Example: Incorruptible saints’ bodies, weeping statues, or claimed Eucharistic miracles.

Limitation: Many of these are observed but can often be explained through natural preservation, environmental factors, or fraud.

4. Prophetic Predictions

Some people claim prophecies in texts or dreams have been fulfilled.

Limitation: Most are vague, symbolic, or retroactively interpreted, which makes them unreliable as evidence for a supernatural source.

In short:

The closest “verified” examples are medical anomalies like spontaneous remission, because they are documented in peer-reviewed literature.

Even these are extraordinary but not unambiguously miraculous, because natural explanations may exist that we don’t fully understand yet.
