Why is it any more reasonable to believe that God has always been than it is to say that matter has always been?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Reason has always existed, but not always in a reasonable form.
For those who believe in God the matter is simpler still and clearly than anything else: because those who believe in God believe that God is the Creator of the whole Universe and there is nothing that does not come from Him.
And so there is no God but has been in the loins of past gods.
But at any rate, the point is that God is what nobody admits to being, and everybody really is.
This, it may be said, is no more than a hypothesis... only of that force of precedent which in all times has been so strong to keep alive religious forms of which the original meaning is lost.
To a certain extent I am taking a leap of faith. I'm adding up the evidence on either side, and I'm seeing the evidence of there not being a God is overwhelming compared to the evidence for there being a God.
Christianity has always embraced both reason and faith.
There is no rational reason to doubt that the universe has existed indefinitely, for an infinite time. It is only myth that attempts to say how the universe came to be, either four thousand or twenty billion years ago.
All correct reasoning is a grand system of tautologies, but only God can make direct use of that fact.
Faith is a continuation of reason.
