So I figured instead of derailing his thread this question deserved it's own chance to shine. What do you think is the best argument for believing in God (or any god you choose)? I'll just copy paste my answer. Hope and a greater sense of community. Perhaps even a meaning to one's life. personally I would begin with looking at the best argument for 'intelligent design'......what who how and why orchestrated this intelligent design is secondary IMO. The more I learn about 'life' and how 'intelligent' it is at a molecular level the more I tend to lean towards intelligent design. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Either give life meaning and/or explain existence. While they're not convincing to me, I see then as the best argument for God. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But the experiences do give life meaning and explain what living is for. And for that, I thank God as often as I can.

It has...in reality...nothing to do with belief in God. I get the video though...showing how all of that Faith can actually have Positive Changes in your brain...no problem with that either. The thing is, an invisible entity that one has never seen cannot 'change your brain' . You are literally changing your brain with the thoughts that YOU think. Hence, the old line from that Chevy Chase/Bill Murray movie... See your future...Be your future. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rashore 16,949 #35 Posted December 15, 2020 Thread cleaned. Folks, knock it off with the talking about each other. And really stop with the off topic commentary- this is the SvsS section, take the politics chat over to the politics threads. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
