Ronalds.Kenins41 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 God exists. /end of thread But the small detail most don't know is God does not exist and someone just fooled everyone into thinking he does. God was made as a concept to represent all the ideas, explain all the miracles/unknown and teach all the ideas that are possible from the human mind. Because people will are less likely to accept that we are alone in the universe, and because there is a lot of unexplained instances that science cannot explain due to technological instances, God seems like a logical explanation. And you know what, if you believe God there is nothing wrong with that. I definitely have experienced sometimes where I have felt he did exist and at the same time, also know that things in the past that were thought to be created by God have now been proven by science not to be thus disproving his existence. I am divided on the issue just like CDC is. Just right on the fence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugor Hill Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Before the world even existed, God had you and me and every other human being who's ever existed in his mind, in his thoughts. He decided to create us in his own image. So he formed us out of dust: every nerve, every bone, every muscle, every skin tissue, every brain cell, and every blood cell, and everything else in the image of him. All his characteristics, he instilled in us. To see beauty, to create, and to love everyone around us, and more. But it was men who drew images of god, like that scruffy brown hair dude you showed us earlier. And it was men who wrote the bible. So is it fair to say that god was created as a mirror image of men, not other way around? Can we get some inputs from Muslims and buddhists here? They have as much of a say in this matter as Christians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should check up on Ezekiel 1, which I linked here earlier. You can't make this stuff up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRussianRocket. Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Life is not a theory. Life is factual. You see it, smell it, touch it, hear it; therefore it's there. God on the other hand, is a theory. You can't see it, smell it, touch it nor hear it; therefore it doesn't exist. This is so far from the truth, lol.

Buddhas Hand Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Practically all versions of Buddhism do not recognize a Creator. Buddhism is more of a quest for the truth rather than religions that are faith-based. Buddhist tends to not think about the creation, but simply accepting it as the world is. They are more interested in trying to cope with pain and sufferings and hopefully be rid of all bad things. Well said Bill. It is the only religion i have any respect for.

Buddhas Hand Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I don't subscribe to any one belief system, I read as much as I can about many beliefs, I accept what makes sense and reject what doesn't. I am a seeker of wisdom. I respect and agree with many of your posts Bill. As i stated on this forum a week ago , apart from my downhill MTB and ski's i could not give a rats arse about material posessions , Knowledge and wisdom are what I value.

thejazz97 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Jazz so far I have been very patient with you ,but enough is enough. Humans attributing their failing's to a creator figure We don't attribute our failings to God. We attribute our successes to Him. We attribute our failings to ourselves. Someone did. Perfect example of circular logic. ... someone wrote it down, but no one made it up.

True, but that was a bit curt, don't you think?

This is true. I can't see, smell, touch, or hear any of you guys, but I still believe you're real. Got any qualms with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.DirtyDangles Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 You're totally right about the parts that I've bolded. Even though the human brain has evolved over time, these things are from the Spirit of God. You and I are created in the image of God, and that's why we have the desire to be creative, the capacity to be inspired, and have all the qualities and gifts that I listed above. Jazzman my fellow Canuckian, I have said this before and will again........IF man was indeed created in the image of a so called creator, then believing that an advanced species arrived and genetically engineered the human race in their own image is a far more scientifically plausible scenario than an Omnipotent being creating all of known reality in the blink of an eye. Think about it for a second. Advanced beings with knowledge to manipulate DNA far from a dying home needing to adapt to a new environment to save their race. Yeah pretty sci-fi stuff but Jesus could heal anything and walk on water right ? Come to think of it I am sure somewhere in Ezekiel it is written that he was taken up into the heavens and shown all the riches of the earth ? or something to that affect. Look into tetrahedral dynamics. It may very well be the answer most scientist are looking for in terms of the literal creation of the known universe. Also the holographic universe theory is about as crazy as it gets right now but still manages to use science as it's foundation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
