Even as an atheist, I understood the challenge offered by the “Standard
Cosmological Model” (the Big Bang Theory) when examined from my
naturalistic worldview. This model infers a “cosmological singularity” in
which all space, time and matter came into existence at a point in the
distant past. In others words, “everything” came from “nothing”. I knew
this presented a problem for me as a naturalist; if the universe had a

Most of us don’t think much about the physical or non-physical laws of the

matter how the law operates or what forces lie behind it. We simply accept
the fact we live in a world where gravity is a reality. In a similar way,
there are many conceptual laws we also take for granted. These abstract

假如i指代的是immaterial，那么m难道不应该对应的指代，material么？correct me

Argument from beauty
The argument from beauty (also the aesthetic argument) is an argument for
the existence of a realm of immaterial Ideas or, most commonly, for the
existence of God.
History of the Argument[edit]
The argument from beauty has two aspects. The first is connected with the
independent existence of what philosophers term a 'universal', see Universal

“当时裁判并不确定詹姆斯是否站在限制区。”裁判报告里写道，“通过观看录像
