Quote by: zhavric By accepting the common definition of superman, I'm implying that the laws of physics don't apply in a variety of situations. I'm implying that things proportioned like humans can be as dense as metal without having extra mass. I'm implying that same human shaped thing can lift ridiculous amounts of weight, generate lasers from its retina, emit and then receive back X-rays with the SAME set of retinas, and do a host of other things which we know to be impossible. |
The magic tricks isn't part of the current argument.
What is part of the argument is the basic reason God exists. The beginning of the universe. Tell me, do you know for sure where all matter and energy came from (actually they're the same thing)?
Until you know or even have an idea, this hypothesis is as good as the next.

If you imply Superman can exist, then you either aren't aware of the laws of physics or are just content to ignore them.

Superman isn't a good analogy. Superman didn't create physics, there is no reason given on why he should be able to defy physics. God created the universe, good enough justification on why he can defy physics.

God needs to be able to contradict many proven laws including conservation of energy. We know through science that complex intelligence things don't just "happen" or "always exist". They require an explanation in the form of a gradual process (evolution in the case of living things) or a designer (in the case of fabricated objects). Or the like.

Maybe God isn't complex. We can't know anything like that.
Plus, your explanation is that energy and matter always existed, how is that not a similar explanation?

"conservation of energy is false, complex things always exist or pop into existence, and everything that's proven in science is effectively wrong. And 1+1=3"

Aye, where did energy come from in the first place? conservation of energy means that energy just always was. That probably isn't true, even if it was, it's just as logical as saying something everlasting created the first blast of energy. That's because you can't be sure.
