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."

Hi ViciD, you tell me:
"If I ask you why you steal candy from children and you say that you do not steal candy from children, I cannot then accuse you of not knowing what steal means and say that you do not know crime."

You still don't know philosophy, for if you know philosophy, you will ask me thus:

"If I ask you why you ultimately steal candy from children and you ultimately say that you do not ultimately steal candy from children, I cannot then accuse you ultimately of not knowing what steal means and say that ultimately you do not know crime."

You seem to know science, so you know about the cosmic microwave background radiation (if you don't know about the cosmic microwave background radiation, read up on it).

Now, scientists conclude that the universe has a beginning.

If you know philosophy you will ask the scientists: ultimately who or what brought about the universe because it has a beginning?

@yrger You asked me who or what ultimately invented or operates something that was not invented and is not operated.

You cannot ask nonsense questions and then accuse people of not understanding terms or subjects.

If I ask you why you steal candy from children and you say that you do not steal candy from children, I cannot then accuse you of not knowing what steal means and say that you do not know crime.

@yrger

Now, scientists conclude that the universe has a beginning.

They do not conclude that. They conclude that the universe in the form that we recognize it had a beginning. And that prior to that event, the universe was in a different firm that we presently presume was a singularity.

Ultimately the universe was not created. Ultimately the universe did not begin, it changed in form.

If your question is who or what caused that form to change, my answer is that we do not know. We do not have any information from that time.
