God

The proof in the previous section didn't provide an accurate picture of the context surrounding God. This section constructs evidence to clarify this. According to this research https://arxiv.org/abs/1404.1207 (“Spontaneous creation of the universe from nothing”), physicists have mathematically proven that the universe came from nothing, that quantum fluctuations triggered it from nothing. We know that quantum events happen in space. So, space existed before these fluctuations, right? Suppose it was. It doesn’t matter what the fluctuations are. We only need to know that it’s something physical.

1. Suppose space is a necessary container for these fluctuations.
2. Suppose everything physical must be contained in space; call it container C1.
3. Suppose C1 is something physical.
4. Point 2 implies that C1 must be contained in a container, C2.
5. Suppose C2 is something physical.
6. Point 2 implies that C2 must be contained in a container, C3.
7. So on to infinity.
8. Impossible.
9. So, at least one of our assumptions is wrong. This is point 3, 2, or 1.
10. Suppose point 3 is false; that is, space is nonphysical.
11. Suppose the nonphysical doesn’t exist.
12. But then point 10 is false: space is physical, therefore point 3 is true.
13. Let’s go to point 2 and suppose it’s wrong: something physical can exist without a container.
14. Quantum fluctuations would then have appeared first and led to space.
15. Since point 13 is an assumption, we must consider the reverse, that point 2 is true.
16. Since points 3 and 2 are true, point 1 is necessarily false: the fluctuations wouldn’t have needed a container, space. The universe would have started with quantum fluctuations.
17. This contradicts point 2.
18. Point 1, therefore, can't be wrong. It's true.
19. We thus return to the starting point of our reasoning—circular reasoning. This kind of logic, although logical, is invalid since it doesn’t lead to anything. So absolutely nothing should exist. The universe does exist.
20. So, we must change our reasoning to make it valid. There must be a point that we wrongly assumed to be true. This is point 11: that nonphysical doesn’t exist. Point 10 could be correct, then: space is nonphysical, and point 3 is false.
21. Therefore, the physical world isn't inside a physical container. It must be nonphysical. If it’s physical, then it’s not the container.
22. Point 17 in the previous section deduced that a nonphysical entity is necessarily eternal. Space is so, too, then.
23. Space being physical implies that it’s part of quantum physics.
24. Something nonphysical triggered the existence of the universe!
