Whence Then is Evil?

Also, the statement

``It is a logical neceissity extracted from the attributes of creation that necessitates a creator with different attributes at the very origin of which is the conversion from nothing to something.``

is bullshit to begin with. What attributes of the universe necessitate a creator? Masadi saheb is not allowed to assign and withhold such attributes. I could jsut as easily claim that the universe does in fact possess the attribute of self-creation or non-creation, as does your creator entity. That would ``solve`` the problem just as elegantly as you purport to, without introducing an unnecessary antecedent step in the causation chain.

But I suspect this is all a little beyond your intellect. So don`t worry too much if you don`t get it. Again.

re masadi:

``It is a logical neceissity extracted from the attributes of creation that necessitates a creator with different attributes at the very origin of which is the conversion from nothing to something.``

Either this abstraction, or you entertain other possibilities, such as the possibility that causation is an illusion to begin with. Mathematicians deal with infinity all the time. Saying that the universe necessitates a creator is pretty much like saying that infinity necessitates a starting point. Get it, dimwit? In essence, there`s nothing new in your abstract argument. The God of the Philopsopher was postulated thre hundred and fity years ago. It Died a but a few years later, when slightly honest folks learned to see the difference between an abstraction and a logical conclusion (which they often mix up with logical necessities.)

You posses skills of logical deduction!?! Hahaha! Sell that to the marines, mian!

PM writes <<< unless you establish that the said attributes of the universe, necessitating a Creator, are absent in the Creator itself. >>>

Like I said earlier, you don`t possess the basic skills of logical deduction. It is a logical neceissity extracted from the attributes of creation that necessitates a creator with different attributes at the very origin of which is the conversion from nothing to something. A creator possessing the attributes of creation would thus be absurdly illogical conclusion, if you follow the path of reasoning. If you haven`t still got it you are evidently dumb, if you got it but are being deceptive then you`re worse than dumb...

Re: # 208, teshah Saheb,

Thanks for reading and commenting on my posts. It has no doubt enriched my knowledge but you did not say anything on who is or what is meant by `devine`. My instinct says that the day human get to know what God is, whole universe including the Maya and beyond will explode and evaporate. Logic says it will never happen.

I am sorry for my stupid comments.....whenever I write that kinda stuff i am drunk....you are like my elder brother...please accept my apology.....ye sab kata dharta umul-khabaais ka hai....I am trying to give it up.

teshah sahib says

((((As I can say off-hand; `kun` is a Quranic term which signifies the order of God to something non-existent to come into existence. `Kun` is the divine order for creation and what is created is not divine but only a fraud, a `maya` as the Quran says ``Wa mal hayyatuduniyaa illa mata-ul-gharoor`` (Yih dunya kia he bas dhoke ki tatti he` and Bhagwat Gita calls it `Maya`.)))))


In my humble opinion...the verse you have mentioned is referring to the material things, human beings have desire for. It is talking about the men`s desire for possession. It is not necessarily pointing to the world of matter and universe.

Re: # 203

Thank you dear for your courteous remarks about my self. You say:

``Glad you are back. Please explain what is `kun` and what is devine? If divine is outside universe then where is that ``outside`` and who created it?``

As I can say off-hand; `kun` is a Quranic term which signifies the order of God to something non-existent to come into existence. `Kun` is the divine order for creation and what is created is not divine but only a fraud, a `maya` as the Quran says ``Wa mal hayyatuduniyaa illa mata-ul-gharoor`` (Yih dunya kia he bas dhoke ki tatti he` and Bhagwat Gita calls it `Maya`.

I have again read all your posts on the subject and cannot but agree with your view-point. As you rightly said we are moving in a spiral which leads to nothing. As Gita says, the search for reality is like pealing an onion which leads to nothing inside it. Abu Yazid Bastami had said, ``I went to heaven but saw the chair there empty and so I myself sat in it``.

As for the necessity of a creator I can`t help repeat the words of PM at his post #205 in reply to masadi:

``Comprende? It still comes down to what every honest four-year-old knows but you don`t: You can`t escape the causation trap.``

But the make-believe dogmas are galore and many professing to believe in them without ever bothering to think critically about them.

you are the kind of a man that could be used as a blueprint to build an idiot.I heard you got a brain transplant and the brain rejected you?

Off course....my baap is bhudda and my grad baap is bhuha coz i am from a izatdaar family but you....anyhow i don`t wanna insult your family members. why should i blame them for your IQ of 2?

re. masadi: #199

Okay, let me cut through the crap... since you obviously aren`t able to, it being your own:

My logic isn`t circular, you are showing a lack of ability to deduce and reason. That the universe cannot create itself is revealed by its attributes, therefore necessitating a creator- that is 1.

Dimwit. The Universe needing a creator does not obviate the need for that Creator (once you introduce it) to have a creator-- unless you establish that the said attributes of the universe, necessitating a Creator, are absent in the Creator itself. Which you HAVE NOT done!

Comprende? It still comes down to what every honest four-year-old knows but you don`t: You can`t escape the causation trap.

I tell you something....you are literally a dust bin of expired brain cells and human organs. These things can only be understood by living and organised human organism with sufficient quantity of brain cells. I have serious doubts that you are one.

Re: # 202, teshah saheb

Glad you are back. Please explain what is `kun` and what is devine? If divine is outside universe then where is that ``outside`` and who created it?

This is all ``round and round`` (masadi saheb) and ``CIRCULAR`` (PM) and endless and futile (me). But these intellectuals refuse to read or think on my comments in #176 183 184 and 195. Can you please read them and say something if you have time?

I think it is not just round and round or circular which would meet at some point again and may give these people some insight BUT it is a forward moving circle (ie spiral) which tricks the mover to believe that they are aproaching towards knowledge of God. But alas...!

What do you think?

You say:

You may be my grand grand son, though adopted and harrami one, so tell me what is the diferrence in `creating by itself` and `asking it to be`?

Re: # 198

((((((((((Philosopher

But does not God`s `KUN` supposed to do the same thing; asking a non existent thing to be?

Why to waste logic on something which is shere `make-believe`, absurd and illogical?)))))))))

Great question: in fact one of the greatest intellectual discoveries in the histotry of ideas has just been witnessed on this board.This is what human intellect had been missing for ages. teshah has solved the greatest mystry of human knowledge. He has answered the questions which have been raised by some of the greatest intellectuals mankind has ever produced. Now nothing can stop Man from conquering the forces of nature. Now the `light` of knowledge enlighten the dark souls and the darkeness of ignorance will see the light of the knowledge.

Hazoor aap aik ainak lay hi lijiye or get the old one repaired.(Gill sahib, plz do help him from the old citizen interacter fund, and save us from this BS)

If you have really read my post ,you have missed hell lot of things. I have said that universe can not create itself without a supereme intervention because we cannot define that ITSELF in the case of universe. When God says `kun` it means there is the intervention of supreme beings and both these concepts are exactly opposite to each other. Read it again, i say read baba if your last brain cell is still working.

Ask your grand grand..... son. he would tell you the difference between created by some intervention and created by ITSELF.

please correct #199 from philosopher says to PM says

Philosopher writes

<<< 1. The universe can`t create itself. It needs a creator.
2. That Creator must be free of the requirement of a cause (since this would make it no different from the universe, and leave us with the problem of infinte regression)
(So far, we`re on the same page, you, me, philo and khurram. But Here`s where you make a strange leap: )
3. You restate the unparanthesised part of #3 as a conclusion, or affirmation, even though its really a requirement.

Your logic is thus hopelessly, dare I say it? -- CIRCULAR.
>>>

My logic isn`t circular, you are showing a lack of ability to deduce and reason. That the universe cannot create itself is revealed by its attributes, therefore necessitating a creator- that is 1.

The ``nature`` of the Creator so to speak is deduced from the attributes of the universe that gave rise to the necessity of the creator. 1 was the conclusion, 2 the deduction from that conclusion about the ``nature`` of the creator, unlike any creation.

In all your philosophising, try to cut through the crap and use your mind ...
