Proofs that God exists, Answers

1. What is an easy way, using entropy, to demonstrate that the universe is not infinitely old.
       If the universe were infinitely old, then all usable energy in the universe would have long ago disappeared.  Since there is still usable energy in the universe, the universe is not infinitely old.
   
    
2. What is the argument using time to prove that the universe is not infinitely old?
        If the universe were infinitely old, then in order for us to arrive at the present, an infinite amount of time would have had to have been traversed.  But, an infinity of time cannot be traversed.  Therefore, the universe cannot be infinitely old.
   
    
3. Can something bring itself into existence?  Why or why not?
        If something does not exist, it has no ability to perform an action by which it can bring itself into existence. If it exists so as to be able to perform an action, then it already exists.
   
    
4. Is it possible to have an infinite number of regressive causes?
        There cannot be an infinite regress of events because that would mean the universe (or past universes) were infinitely old.  But, this would require an infinite amount of time to be traversed in order to arrive at the present.  This cannot happen since an infinite amount of time cannot be traversed.  Therefore, we cannot have an infinite regression of causes?
   
    
5. Can you list two examples of the Laws of Logic?
        "A" cannot be "A" and not "A" at the same time.   Something cannot bring itself into existence.
   
    
6. What does it mean to say that the Laws of logic are transcendent?
        The laws of logic are not dependent upon the universe since they are true whether or not the universe exists.  The laws of logic transcend space and time since they are true no matter where you go in the universe and they are true no matter when you exist in the universe.
   
    
7. What is the conclusion you can draw dealing with logical absolutes?
        Since the laws of logic are conceptual, absolute, and transcendent and since conceptual realities require a mind, and since the conceptual realities reflect the mind thinking them, then the mind that thinks the laws of logic is absolute and transcendent.  Therefore, there is an absolute, transcendent mind in existence.
