>well gud dun made thuh unavurse

>who made god?

>god always been man

>and the universe couldn't have?

or something like that. Is there no way to correctly illustrate that a god is just adding another step to the equation?

Claim super intelligent aliens made it and then say that one of the inherent definitions of those aliens is that 1. They came before absolutely anything and everything else. 2. They make universes. 3. They observe universes but do not interfere with them which is why everything about our universe seems absent of intelligent intervention.

I then ask then what, other than more believers and having been a concept longer, does their God have that my aliens do not. Any time they insist God came first, I point out that it's a contradiction to the first definition and thus they're wrong.

The thing is there might be a infinite number of universe if eternal inflation turns out to be true, that might. That might make Christians metaphysicians salty but the universe doesn't give a fuck about them

>not testing properly

int main() {
goto end;
printf("GOD IS REAL");
end:
printf("NOPE");
return 0;
}

bool godIs = false;

if(godIs)
     printf("god is true");
else
     printf("nope!");

if you want variables use them more creatively

int main() {
int god = 1 / 0;
printf("Jesus Saves");
}

I stop right there and demand evidence

BTW, heatDeathOfUniverse should be a function call querying the boolean result, shouldn't it. Otherwise it's value would be unchanging at the time you enter the loop, unless it's a global variable or something and a separate thread is modifying it.

I didn't really put much thought into it, but yes; you are correct.
