Only if you want them to
Submitted By: hammerattack ( 309 days, 9 hours, 3 minutes ago )
The notion of God or gods is a human construct. By one school of thought, a god is simply primitive humans answer to things we cannot otherwise explain. That's why past religions had gods which were assigned to certain aspects of nature. It also explains why gods are often portrayed in human circumstances with human behaviors. Greco-Roman gods committed acts of sin, and sought retribution for sins committed against them. The Judeo-Christian God of the Old Testament is often portrayed as vengeful. In most religions, god is portrayed as a male in keeping with their role as a powerful and dominant being. The exceptions portray their god as a female who brings forth life, reflective of the role of the female sex in human procreation. All of this speaks much to the question of who or what God is, but the question is whether God exists. The answer is that God exists only in as much as you perceive God to exist. Logically speaking, we can neither prove nor disprove that God exists using methods at our disposal. Logically, failing to prove that something exists does not mean that it doesn't exist. Neither does failing to prove something does not exist prove that it in fact does exist. The question then comes down to the notion of 'faith'. If you have faith that a god exists, then whatever god you perceive to exist does. Their perceived existence will affect your actions just as surely as a viable and tangible god would. If you don't believe a god exists, than all but a physical act of that god could convince you otherwise, and even then a person who does not have such beliefs is prone to explain whatever phenomena occurred through other means.

Each of us looks out upon a vast universe from one tiny planet and one small fraction of a lifetime. Our written history might be 6000 years old. Most of our short lives we spend either asleep or involved in daily routines. What little time is left to try to grasp what's going on is not enough to conclusively say much about anything. Those who say "No God" simply don't know.
Submitted By: I wish I knew
Most who believe they are atheist are more agnostic. Indeed most who believe in God are agnostic, because they don't really know either. Some do know of unchanging truth though, and thru that maybe hav an incling of God that is likewise unchangingly true... Too much/little sleep and/or daily routine do impair our chances of learning how to judge fairly.

Submitted By: element[0]
Not necessarily, there is no reason that i can see that the physical constants we see around us today need to have been defined by some conscious entity. i acknowledge that if the physical constants for the observable universe were slightly different none of us would be here, now assuming that these were not defined by a concious entity then the chances of this happening(given current theories and data) are very small. However the fact that we are here indicates that this improbable situation occured. Also if we get into theories of multiple universes then we don't know how many times the experiment has been run(possibly infinitely). So it is possible to have an explanation for our lucky(for supporting life) physical constants without having to bring some, ill defined concious entity into the equation. Also it seems that you are attempting to apply intelligent design theory to physics which i think in the long run is a bad idea as intelligent design theory is pretty dodgey

That's a good question to ask. If you study yourself honestly enough to discover the reality of it, you'll for the first time be full able to act knowingly.

Both, in fact, are probably necessary if you want anything other than to be a hermit...

CS Lewis
Submitted By: toekneebullard ( 309 days, 17 hours, 4 minutes ago )
If you're really interested, I'd suggest reading the first few chapeters of CS Lewis' "Mere Christianity." If the idea of Christianity scares you off, then stay away from the back end of the book, but the beginning, where he spells out how he has come to believe in God, is a pretty well thougth out, logical approach to the idea of an ulimate being.
Submitted By: I wish I knew
Inteligent man Lewis was methinks, but I don't use other people as a guide as I find myself always in error when I do, must know myself, or else I know no more than a book can. Though books can inspire one to know for themselves, which makes them very meritorious to that end.

A doorway is known by its absence and what surrounds it. The surround is real but the space has no existence. In other words God exists in Her absence. Another example: you have an invisble orange in your hand. It has no form but what do you know about it? In a similar way emptiness forms into a Being, that whether there or not has qualities. If you can ask the question than it is not as big as the Reality.

On the balance of probabilities NO
Submitted By: element[0] ( 309 days, 2 hours, 41 minutes ago )
On the balance of probabilities NO. I know we could debate this for hours and not solve anything but it is clear that on the balance of probabilities if you belive in a god you are probably wrong. This is for several reasons one, there is no concrete evidence of the existance of god/gods, and science and particularly physics provide working(although not entirely complete) models of the universe that do not require the existance of god/gods. The second and probably most damning point is that if you consider all the different religious beliefs of cultures around the world, from the small tribal religions and belief systems to the major religions of today they are all pretty much mutually exclusive and can't all be "right" and no single religion has over 50% of the worlds population. This means that if you believe in a god/gods you are most likely wrong. I know that will annoy a lot of people but thats the way it is so get over it.
Submitted By: I wish I knew
Supposedly from God "I am all things to all people in order that I might save a few." Religion does have an answer for that probability arguement. - So the logic would go... In the story with Sodom that if Lot could find 1 person willing to heed the warnings of God the whole city would be saved, so too is it with religion. - If that strange and unweildy religion that diagrees with the rest of religions helps one person to be more godly then that religion will also be preserved. When it ceases to help anyone any more that religion is wiped of the face of the earth.

Not A Chance.

God was invented by the powerful to control people, and to make those people actually PAY to be controlled. God not only does not exist, it cannot exist. Given the size of the universe, and the age of the universe, to think that there is an all powerfull being capable of creating matter from nothing, and that that being would have any interest in the tiny dust speck that is the entire history of the human race is terribly anthropocentric, and grasping for meaning in a universe that has no meaning, and needs no meaning, motive force or excuse.
Submitted By: manchld
I bet you have proof of religion being used to that end today, but you don't know for sure if that's all religion is about, or if it was 'invented' for that purpose. And I dont think the size of the universe is proof either, even if it does give humanity a selfish reason to believe that. But I dont think that the whole 'creating matter from nothing' is something beyond science's true power to explain. A big bang shows what might have happened the moment matter began to exist, but it doesn't explain why it happened, or what initiated it.

Submitted By: hiscity
All the way through the Physical Anthropology course I'm taking (Campbell & Loy) it's clear that evolutionary theory is well "evolving." Yesterday's theories look fairly crack-pot compared to todays. Likewise, strong caution is given about biting into any novel "discoveries" ... with plenty of reference to "Piltdown Man" like frauds. Best to give the "fingered fish" novelty a bit more airing before jumping to any conclusions. As for today's theories, they'll simply be shards compared to tomorrows. Funny how that works. From the perspective of millions of years--we know nothing. If you believe in evolution, you shouldn't make any assumptions about concerns that can't be known at our primitive state of being.

"Evolve, Survive"

‘So its all about sex is it?’

‘Ecstasy is merely a reward for procreating, it is what makes you want to do it. This is necessary, initially, to promote biological evolution. However once you’ve completed that stage and no longer require procreation, you will learn that ecstasy can be infinitely more intense than anything offered by sex’

Are we alone? and how advanced are we?
Submitted By: argentino666 ( 307 days, 1 hour, 31 minutes ago )
there are surprisingly few. Less than fourteen million species the universe.

 ‘The seeds evolved in deep space, purely as a result of the operations of the laws of physics and chemistry which your scientists have begun to attain a reasonable grasp of. Yes I triggered the bang and essentially became dormant for nearly 5 billion years. That’s how long it took the first lifeforms to emerge. That places them some 8 billion years ahead of you. The first intelligent species are now 4.3 billion years ahead of us. Really quite advanced. GOD can have deeply meaningful conversations with them.’

Submitted By: argentino666

why does god never intervene?

Unlike the adaptors, who learn the point of cooperation fairly early on, manipulators battle on. And, once all lesser species have been overcome, they are so competitive and predatory that they are compelled to turn in on themselves. This nearly always evolves into tribal competition in one form or another and becomes more and more destructive - exactly like your own history. However this competition is vital to promote the leap from biological to technological evolution.
You need an arms race in order to make progress.
Submitted By: argentino666
Your desire to dominate fuels a search for knowledge which the adaptors never require. And although your initial desire for knowledge is selfish and destructive, it begins the development of an intellectual self awareness, a form of higher consciousness, which never emerges in any other species. Not even while they are experiencing it, for example, can the intelligent adaptors - your dolphins - express the concepts of Love or Time. Militarisation and the development of weapons of mass destruction are your first serious test at level one. You're still not through that phase, though the signs are promising. There is no point whatsoever in my intervening to prevent your self-destruction.
Submitted By: argentino666
Your ability to survive these urges is a crucial test of your fitness to survive later stages. So GOD would not, never have and never will intervene to prevent a species from destroying itself. Most, in fact, do just that.’

Define God?
Submitted By: illuminoid ( 306 days, 23 hours, 25 minutes ago )

No matter which God you choose to claim exists, the majority of the world will disagree with you.  To get agreement you might want to ask "Does an entity exist which has a particular set of charcteristics".  Let us assume these characteristics are "Created the universe" "continually in touch with everything in the universe" "created man" "exists" - I think all of these are fairly acceptable (I ignored "Is Good" because then we would have to define good, which is, itself, hard)


If you accept that this is the question then the answer is yes, god does exist, and god is the laws of physics, or the sum total of everything in the universe. 
Submitted By: I wish I knew
Agree generally, but sum wouldn't be quite right. Maybe if you read up on "emergent properties" in physics it will help clarify some... Basically, things when put together have different properties which would not conclude merely from the sum, but are inclusive and transcendant of the included part. That's why we have the term Holy - Being Whole

FALSE HOPE!
Submitted By: Tha-Flash ( 306 days, 14 hours, 20 minutes ago )
I'm agnostic. Which means I doubt the truth of religion. As for God (imo A supernatural being), I'm certain that it is not possible to know whether he does or doesn't exist.

I think that there probably is no God.

Many people are believing in God because:
  • They were brought up that way and taught not to challenge their beliefs.
  • They WANT there to be a God (which would probably be nice).
  • They are scared of believing otherwise - which is understandable.

It is said in the bible that we were created in his image, but looking in a crowd of people rarely do two people look alike, so which one is God?  Another thought is yes, inside each and every one of you.  He is the mechanism instilled in all of us to maintain the balance between good and evil actions, and ever present.  Now where true evil is commited is where that persons view of evil is different than our own.  Hitler was doing his thing for a good cause, or so he beleived.  Saddam (and no I am not American) forewent his friday meals to give to homeless.  In all things evil, there is good (and the reverse can be said to be true).  Think the Tao.  The white represents the God in each one of us.
