Stubbly_Dooright Posted February 13, 2016 #2 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I had a varying professors who asked questions like that and answered it in a one word answer, in varying sets of subjects. Kind of thought provoking. It's like............... let the games begin!!! It seems appropriate for a question like that in a particular forum like this. Maybe?............................. Is this going to be on how perspectives going to be? I keep saying that to myself all of my life. But when you look in front of you, and see other things like politicians, police, doctors, scientists, teachers, and ... and.... and......Will Farrell! That is what you see.................... and have to find a warm and fuzzy area near a fire and a cup of something hot to somehow conclude if that answer can be answered in a more subject .............. not maybe. But that's my perspective on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDesiato Posted February 15, 2016 #6 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Q: Is there a God? A: Maybe. Let's explore that, shall we? No evidence so let's start with no. Q: Logically, should God exist? I see no reason to accept any anecdotes as valid evidence, so I say: no. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nuclear Wessel Posted February 15, 2016 #7 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Well, that depends. What do you define as "God"? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEHC Posted February 15, 2016 #8 Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) I see no reason to accept any anecdotes as valid evidence, so I say: no. Well, do get acquainted a bit with philosophy. Rock-solid arguments have been put forward and developped by Theist philosophers over the years. IMO, the fine-tuning and design propositions are probably the most potent indicators that there may be a Supreme Intelligence behind the Universe.

XenoFish Posted February 15, 2016 #11 Share Posted February 15, 2016 If there is , let's hope it eventually spreads into us . Depends on who's god we are talking about. I'm all for a peace loving deity coming around. What constitutes evidence? Why is there a universe? Why is there anything? That's part of the great mystery. No one was there to witness the first cause. So the reality of a 'God' is unknown. Humans however are good at making 'gods' to explain what they don't know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

141 Posted February 15, 2016 #14 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Yes, there is a God ! People will believe what they wish to believe ...at the end, at the moment of death or departing from this earth what will it matter ? And that is another subject . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenoFish Posted February 15, 2016 #15 Share Posted February 15, 2016 So is the assumption that there is a God. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarMountainKid Posted February 15, 2016 #17 Share Posted February 15, 2016 The way I see it is, the term, "God" has religious connotations, there can't be God without a religion surrounding It. I object to this concept. There may be some Architect, a Physicist that has the ability to create universes. This I could accept if proof of this Entity were to be discovered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lumpino Posted February 15, 2016 #19 Share Posted February 15, 2016 maybe I don't know if God but Goddess certainly. See Ramakrishna and his vision of Kali. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HdUfuemNx-g/UlTGFqo6GBI/AAAAAAAAAvc/rBYbGaIs9gU/s1600/Ramakrishna%2BKali%2Bposter.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Hammerclaw Posted February 15, 2016 #20 Share Posted February 15, 2016 MAGIC! Magic is just science not yet understood. To stone age man our science looks like magic. Maybe we're the primitives in regards to the "magic" of our origins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't mean they know. The rest of what you wrote makes no sense whatsoever. I was hoping for some 'divine intelligence' to affect humans .... heck, I'll settle for any type of intelligence increase in them ! Now that's wishful thinking. I'd rather have an increase in empathy and sympathy. God certainly exists. Wishful thinking. And if it does exist who's god is it? Which divine dictator shall we bow to?

God is just an idea, something wrapped into a nice little bundle of preconceived notions and emotions. Sure you can believe that's fine and all. It is just way to apparent that God doesn't care. Even if it exist it doesn't care about a single one of us. People just want to believe it does because if gives them a sense of security and control in a world where none really exist. So they'll look for validation to their belief. It's called confirmation bias. If god is love then god is just an emotion you've chosen to label. That's all there is to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
