Three scientists—Papaia, Banani, Ravioli—and their assistant Igor were supposed to attend the famous dark matter conference but missed their flight and ended up on the other side of the world. During the flight, Banani finds a very interesting book.
We’re at the airport, where Ravioli and Banani are discussing the book.
Banani: About that puzzle we were talking about earlier…
Ravioli: The one about the cause of the universe.
Banani: Yes, the fourth point gives us the answer.
Ravioli: Oh, right, read it again, what does it say?
Banani: “If the universe has a cause, then there exists a personal, uncaused Creator of the universe who, without the universe, is without beginning, immutable, immaterial, without time, without space, and immensely powerful.”
Ravioli: Sounds like someone’s speaking in Arabic to me.
Banani: It’s not as hard as it sounds. If our assumption is that only material reality exists, then, without the universe, there’s nothing left.
Ravioli: But we’ve already said this isn’t possible because nothing can cause something.
Banani: Exactly! So there must be something else beyond physical reality!
Ravioli: You mean a… spiritual reality?
Banani: Call it whatever you want, but there must be a reality separate from the material one, from which the universe comes.
Ravioli: The cause of the universe.
Banani: A cause that, as the fourth point says, exists without the universe, meaning without space, without time, without energy, and without matter.
Ravioli: But what must this cause be like?
Banani: It must be timeless, because it exists without time. Immaterial, because it exists without matter. It shouldn’t occupy space, because it exists without space.
Ravioli: And it can’t be made of energy, because it exists without energy.
Banani: And, not least, it shouldn’t have another cause to explain it.
Ravioli: How can something not have a cause?
Banani: It’s hard to imagine because we’re used to seeing everything with its own cause. But according to this reasoning, this cause represents the starting point and the cause of everything else.
Ravioli: I don’t know, it seems like I solved one puzzle with another puzzle.
Igor: Trying to find a cause for the universe without a Creator is like trying to imagine a trip with Papaia without mistakes.
🤣🤣🤣
… If you take them out, there’s nothing left!
🤣🤣🤣
