Forrest Valkai: A Profile

Forrest is a biologist and science communicator, utilizing his platform to deliver engaging lessons on scientific topics.

This presents a challenging dilemma for Christians, as the criteria for belief is known only to God. While a Christian might pray for clarity, this still relies on divine intervention to validate God’s existence to Forrest.

However, I propose a more achievable set of criteria that could potentially lead me back to Christianity.

What Would Convince Me: A Challenge to Science

In this section, I aim to outline what it would take for me to reconsider my stance on Christianity. I previously engaged with Google Bard and posed a challenge regarding its assertions on scientific principles. If anyone can counter my arguments with valid evidence, I would reconsider my beliefs.

In one of my articles, I simplified the concept to this equation:

Power = mass x stuff

I also referenced the Kalam Cosmological Argument, frequently cited by theologians like William Lane Craig and Frank Turek, asserting that God created the universe from nothing. They posit that God is the First Cause, or the Uncaused Cause, often attributing characteristics such as being timeless, spaceless, and immaterial.

In scientific terms, being immaterial implies having no mass. Therefore, if we substitute mass with zero in the equation above, we get:

Power = zero x stuff

Power = zero.

This implies that God’s power is nonexistent, raising questions about His existence within our universe. Some may argue that God transcends space and time; however, this would mean He cannot influence our material reality due to having zero mass.

Thus, if anyone can successfully refute my argument presented to Google Bard, I would be willing to revisit my stance on Christianity. Are there any challengers?

Thank you for engaging with my thoughts!
