And I hope you are able to realise that what you describe may develop independently from 'god', and only be natural human evolution. I am holding onto hope that if we can strip away our own influence, it can leave us with the identity of the creator, and this identity or definition would be compatible with observed scientific facts, I would thus feel complete and be able to rest in peace lol Oh certainly; the human mind has evolved, not just a capability to construct gods, but indeed an propensity bordering on essential/compelling, to do so. It is how people with no technical/scientific knowledge or data can feel safe and make sense of the powerful world around them And then, of course, the human mind always tends to perceive and interpret what it encounters via preexisting knowledge, beliefs and cultural understandings, If i met the same real god as a person from 10000 years ago and another form 500 years ago then we will all see that entity differently and understand it in difernt ways And if a human from 500 years in the future encountered the same god/entity they would again have a very difernt understanding of its nature and purpose. while we can construct god in any image or form we desire, it is when we encounter god that we face the biggest challenge. Using only our own mind and knowledge we have to work out how to understand, and accommodate in our lives, an entity far more advanced technologically powerful, and also very different to ourselves. It is the difference between having an imaginary wife and a real one,.in that we have to adapt to the reality of the being, rather than just be able to shape and construct it, to be as we desire it to be 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do know that science can be a religion and also has its dogmas especially the mainstream version? This makes more sense why you bastardize science with new age spiritual beliefs. You see them both as religions. I see science as both a tool and body of knowledge. Many people have a problem with it because science doesn't support their religious beliefs. It's typical to blame "materialists" when science dismisses spiritual "non-evidence". Edited October 21, 2017 by Rlyeh 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seek only truth provided it falls in line with your preconceived beliefs. We saw this when you refused to accept the scientific method and it's impact on the study of the natural universe.

Davros of Skaro Posted October 21, 2017 #129 Share Posted October 21, 2017 14 hours ago, TruthSeeker_ said: Scientistic materialism, or the latest manifestation of orthodoxy. So far it perfectly explains your behavior while at the same time being backed by evidence. My first interaction with you was of a video you linked to me. It was of Dr. Michio Kaku, but your error was not realizing Kaku uses the word "God" as a metaphor. You just heard the word, and your excitement tunnel visioned on it. You have gotten worse since. You are a thought addict of pseudoscience mixed with ancient superstition. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find this statement interesting as many times you post as though you know the truth, but if you are still seeking the truth it is an unknown to you. How can you make assertions about something from a position of authority and then say that you are still looking for the answer to the unknown? I am not challenging you but am asking for clarification. jmccr8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnosis is personal and essential cogniziance with a higher, ultimate consciousness that sets us free not forever but beyond forever. It's not something you can impose on anyone as metaphysical truth. Therefore it can't be used by the orthodoxy -whether it be religious or scientistic in nature to shut out any spiritual inquieries or as a tool for controling the masses. Those who cling to the material world as the Ultimate Truth are really no more advanced than those who cling to daddy Jehova for salvation. Both are siting on their metaphysical fat***s.

Despite all the amazing facts and discoveries, in many categories there's always the yearning for "more". This is why I've been saying that science and religion are seeking the same thing. Knowledge about the truth. It creates an advantage, having two ways to look at it. Just like having two eyes is markedly superior to having one. With stereovision, depth perception is available, while this three dimensional aspect is missing when only science or religion is used to seek for an understanding knowledge of reality.

I have no problem with science as long as it is done the correct way and they don't cook the books so to say. The truth is though that for many science has become a religion and most mainstream science has hit a roadblock and it can't really move much further then it has. Which is why I am more appealed to Quantum physics and Metaphysics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amazimg spiritual realities of the Creator and the relationships we all have in living this life of never ending scientific and personal spiritual experiences. Science and religion both require wholehearted honest and sincere devotion (faith) in order for these two branches on the tree of the approach of knowing what's really real to be activated. Devotion and faith to the truth where ever it takes you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea no secret agent here it was just one of the numbers that worked when I was making a username. But thanks to you I did look up the number 007. And I did find something interesting.This is what I found: http://taniagabrielle.com/the-mysterious-power-of-007/ Particularly the number 007. Why is it that this number was used for the infamous character James Bond. Is it because the two zeroes look like two eyes, as in for your eyes only. Possibly. But that doesnt explain the number 7. And, its only part of the answer. O is a circle. The circle represents wholeness, perfection and eternity. A circle expands equally in all directions from a center point, so zero represents nothing and everything. A circle also symbolizes the cycles of nature. Sun, moon, and planets move in circles always in constant motion. So the Zero is a symbol of God and the divine the source of all life. When the O is part of a number, as in 30, 100, or 007, it gives the person divine protection. Who makes better use of divine protection than the immortal James Bond. Without those double zeroes, he would have been assassinated a long time ago. He wouldnt have dodged bullets and saved the world 21 times. But its impossible to kill off 007. 7 happens to be the most lonely and mystical number of all. 7s are always on some kind of quest. They are single and singleminded. Additionally, people with a prominent 7 in their blueprints have to work for themselves, preferably alone. They dont like having a boss. Though Agent 007 works for the British Intelligence Service, James Bond is best known for making his own decisions, defying his orders from above all with an eye to accomplish his quest to defeat evil. It continues but you can read all of it at the link above if interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel, apples and oranges here. My thoughts on that, of course. Here's the thing, and bringing up the word truth. (And if those who know me, I'm a believer, unique in it, but a believer never the less.) Looking at religions and their beliefs and tenets and such, (including in my own) one cannot fully see these things as the full truth, if it hasn't been proven as the full objective proof. Science, I feel one can. If using religions, (even my own) and compare it to Davos's dopamine points, I may not feel strongly the same way to Davos's points, but I do entertain the thought, he might have more evidence to prove it, then someone religious's points. (and yes, even my own) I and others might find things like Davos's points disturbing to themselves, (like I might, sorry Davos) but I feel, it's disturbing, because it is more provable a situation and that can be found uncomfortable in it's own. The truth is the truth. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
