Why the biblical atheist deny God exists.

Hi atheists, tell me why you deny God exists, of course you have to first define what is God.

I am Yrger the theist, and here is my definition of God:
"God is the permanent self-existent spirit creator and operator of man and the universe and everything transient."

Here is my num 7 statement:
7. Then there was a situation in which the universe did not exist.


You VicDraco say:
"...the entire universe did exist but was condensed into an extremely small space that we have called The Singularity."

Please take notice of this phrase, was condensed.

You use what in grammar we call the third person passive anonymous, now who or what is this third person passive anonymous entity?

I tell you, it is God, the permanent self-existent spirit creator and operator of the universe and man and everything transient.

Hi yrger. I pick number seven for where your argument goes off track. Your point 8 and 9 is not rational.

7. There was a point in time that the universe did not exist as we know it. Our best educated guess is that the entire universe did exist but was condensed into an extremely small space that we have called The Singularity. Several of our physical models work in ways that support this case but we are always looking for new evidence to deepen and clarify our understanding. As far as we know, the universe itself is permanent but simply changed in form.
8. We don't know what triggered The Singularity to expand, the event we call the big bang.
9. When we don't know something, that doesn't mean we can just make shit up. We have zero rational reason to inject God as an explanation for something we do not know.

@yrger ‘was condensed’ describes a state, not an action.

No agent is needed.

@yrger I have not made reference to an entity here. Neither explicitly nor implicitly. Causes can be other physical events with no need for an entity to do the causing.

Just like your definition of god, you are manufacturing something that does not exist and injecting it into places it does not belong without rational reason.
