Silly conjecture it is. But again, it works both ways, it's not like you can cite sources that God comes before religion.


I never said anything at all to that effect. I don't have to prove anything that I am not venturing forth.

Translation:

It's my opinion completely, based of very little fact. I was meaning that people can't really prove that God is a almighty eternal entity, nor can I really prove that God is a fictional 'whip' of sorts.

Most of the things that are staed as fact and not opinion I learned at school (About Myths, The Bible's creation etc)

i believe God is just a person that people created to reassure them that they were put here by someone for a reason.

i honestly don't believe in god, but Jesus i do.

I believe there is a god, but I think the bible is a bunch of "holycrap" well, most of it anyway.

This thread is not about Jesus. Or other beliefs. If you want to use those things as an example then fine.


Please don't flame people for their beliefs either. That would be very cruel and immature.

God, is nor male or female.


Because He is outside of it. If He created male and female, how could He be thus?

I probably could if I took the time, but I know this mostly because of the obvious implications of my knowledge of the religions themselves.

It's like you're saying that cars were invented before wheels, and then they realized the engine wasn't making it move so they went and invented wheels. I wouldn't know where to find any documents proving that wheels came before cars, although I'm sure I could find them if I tried, but my rationality would tell me that it just wouldn't make sense otherwise. And I wouldn't bother arguing with you, I'd just pity you for coming up with that ridiculous proposition.

where did that atom come from?



In Reply To
it always has been


Aaaaaaaaand we're stuck Unimpressed


I guess you didn't read my post:

MAJOR difference: Matter is natural, God is supernatural. According to nature's already proven laws, everything natural has a beginning and an end, therefore everything had something else to create it, yet natural components could not have done so (they have a birth and death; cannot create themselves) - supernatural creation is the only logical option.

In other words, atoms cannot have always existed, because they are natural. The question "where did nature come from" is valid because nature, naturally, requires a beginning. The question "where did God come from" is not valid because God doesn't require a beginning. Thus the supposition that God gave a beginning to nature is valid, whereas nature creating itself or not having a beginning at all is not valid because it is contrary to nature. In short, nature cannot explain nature, so there must be a supernatural answer.



In Reply To
The bible conveniently left out any mention of dinosaurs


Says who? Dinosaurs are animals. Animals are mentioned in the bible. Did you expect the word "dinosaur" to appear? It doesn't, of course, but there are descriptions of animals that don't match any animals living today and do fit the description of dinosaurs.

Example:
"Look at the behemoth, which I made along with you and which feeds on grass like an ox. What strength he has in his loins, what power in the muscles of his belly! His tail sways like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are close-knit. His bones are tubes of bronze, his limbs like rods of iron. He ranks first among the works of God, yet his Maker can approach him with his sword."

It's describing a huge animal (behemoth) that eats grass and has a thick, tapered tail that "ranks first" in creation, which possibly means it's the strongest. This fits the description of the largest dinosaur discovered, Brachiosaurus.

You can read more detail about this here.

Also read what I wrote supporting the world flood. Dinosaurs would have been too large to fit the dimensions of the ship, and so they would have drowned and the year-long flood would have buried and preserved their fossils. Dating techniques are obviously unreliable, and the assumption that humans never existed at the same time as dinosaurs is not well supported.

So why are there so few human fossils? Well, for one thing, humans are intelligent. They wouldn't have just drowned. It took over a month for the water to rise, so they had lots of time to get above the water with rafts and such. They eventually would have starved and been eaten by fish before their bodies were able to end up anywhere that could preserve them. Who were the so-called "cave men" and why were they in caves? It's hard to believe everybody just lived in caves. However, caves were a common refuge point in those times - what if people desperately scrambled to caves to escape the flood?

so you knwo all this maths and science [Expletive Deleted] yet your willing to say a non existent person whos never materilsied made the universe if so what made him?

lol, silly old question.

Let's think for a second here. If this is your reasoning against this belief and the reason you believe what you do instead, then you had better not have the same fault in yours.
So let's take a look at your idea...

In Reply To
Also its already proven evolution made us.

...
rofl.
Evolution made us? K, given the context, I presume you are saying that all life came from a lower form, in our case apes, and this is how we were all "made", thus disproving an intelligent Creator.
...
So where the crap did your ape come from. 'Ey?

Look at it this way, son:
Where did this forum come from? What we have here are a bunch of files functioning together to create a website. Computer science proves that all files are complex combinations of bits (AKA "0's and 1's"), and that no data can come into being without bits.
Now suppose we're all living in a computer in our own little "universe" known as the hard drive, and I tell you that someone built the hard drive. Someone with an intelligence that completely transcends computer program logic. Someone who builds on an entirely new level from the computer's capabilities.
And Little Mercer comes up to me and says "Taz, you know so much about computers yet you're willing to believe that some person created the hard drive, who hasn't even materialized in the form of data? How can he exist without bits? What software was used to make him?"
Don't you see the absurdity of it? When it comes to the creation of the universe, you can't expect an explanation that abides by the way the universe functions itself. Nothing which created the universe could have mass or energy, because that is part of the universe. The universe didn't come from within itself. That's as silly as saying that a hard drive was created by software.
All scientific theories that depend on what humans have learned about how the universe works to explain how it originated have that problem. It makes no sense to think that the universe came from anywhere but outside the universe.
It's been proven that everything in the universe has a beginning and an end.
Therefore the universe itself has a beginning as well.
Therefore the universe has a source. That source is of course not part of the universe and doesn't have to worry about such limitations as a beginning and an end.
And all you have to do is look at it and realize that it's not random.
This is your proof, Little Mercer. There is an intelligent creator we call God, and God has no creator.

Why did people suddenly realize that some 'being' was obviously controlling various aspects of their universe? That is a pretty big revelation.

You're the one who's saying religion is used to support that God exists, and it's not. Read the arguments, they have nothing to do with religion. Your question is redundant; it's exactly what I've been answering from the start.

It's not up to God to serve us. All those things were made by humankind. Hunger, violence, american people, bush supporters, bush. That's like telling your father to clean up a stain on your shirt that you yourself made.

And what do you have against Americans? Sure, they're propagandic and nationalist and really don't know it, but they have good intentions. Well... Some of them, at any rate.

Re: [coolgreencat] Is there a god? [In reply to] Can't Post

  • From what I understand, Biblical and Scientific theories have a lot in common. The Old Testament however was written by early Jews who had no understanding of Science. Although you could argue that similarities between the two theories means that early Jews were inspired by something, namely, according to a Cathlolic education, the Holy Spirit.
  • Looking between the mythical Old Testament and the historical New Testament you can also see two sides to God. The Old Testament shows him as wrathful, whereas the New Testament shows him as loving and forgiving. A definite contrast there.
  • Catholics believe that to fully receive God, we have to eat him. They also believe that he is three people in one. And that humans are all made in the image of God because we're the most important of animals. These beliefs to me seem cocky and to some extent science-fictional.

I believe that there is a god, who is somehow connected to the scientific theories, and at some point in time someone may have seen his true message, however over time his true message has been changed and distorted to suit political interest, to prevent and start wars and to make people

The Trinity is not just a Catholic belief, though, seeing as it's implied in the Bible many times (Holy Spirit being a personal part of it with feelings, Father and Son as one, etc.)
