My argument is that real gods originate off world ie by definition a real god is an alien being I could be wrong they might be human time travellers from the future This argument is not about the existence of gods but about their nature Alien is a definition for any off world being or species If a god originates off world/earth it is an alien (if it originates in Mexico then it is also an alien in America, until it gains citizenship, or at least a green card ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As well studying archaic humans also gives a greater insight into the determination, skills and adaptability to survive so we can be here today we are amazing creatures if we take the time to understand and realize what our past was. jmccr8 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also remember that Eight bits has given a very solid response that satisfies all the criteria involved and most of us agree that it is likely what happened. Every now and then someone new drops in but for the most part it's the same bunch of guys having a coffee, brew or bud (or both ) sitting around discussing interesting subjects and having fun teasing and having a few laughs while trying to learn something new and you might find it more advantageous to not over argue this.

Seems like a pretty weak "cosmic consciousness". Also, @Mr Walker what was the brand/model/make of the radio, specifically? Just any kind of information that could help me identify it so I could look up the actual components used. I'd like to verify that the components would not have allowed for @eight bits' explanation. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Psyche Yes as a reading form of entertainment sci-fi has been a big seller for the last 100 years and in film more than 50 so people are well indoctrinated in fictional thinking then we have people like Dankin and ilk that put biased speculation into new dimensions then throw in a little astral travel and lucid dreaming and you get Walker. jmccr8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Hammerclaw Posted January 21, 2021 #97 Share Posted January 21, 2021 To postulate something exists, without a shred of direct evidence, is an argument or rationalization without proof. It is not falsifiable. In dealing with the concept of something that creates universes we stray beyond human experience, beyond human comprehension. We are, thus, reduced to the same status of our primitive ancestors, huddled around campfires, anthropomorphizing deities to explain lightning, rain and thunder, the sun, moon and stars and all other natural phenomena that surrounded and bewildered them. In this thread I see the same thing happening, gods created in our own image, not so much the image of our flesh, but in the image of our own minds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely jmccr8 Ok so simply being human makes you a god? I can relate to that. Unless the y are damaged in some way, all humans have this quality of self aware intelligence. It is a wonderful, mind blowing thing. It makes us like gods, but it doesn't make us gods, until we have something which perceives us as gods Ps do you honestly think i dont see myself and my world in this same way? I was raised to be like you describe here. "god" is simply an optional extra It is not a crutch for the weak or a support for the needy. It is a tutor, a protector, a mentor and a guide. Its a mix of father/mother , older brother, uncle, wife etc. You can take to or leave it, (i managed very well without it for a long time,) but you are much more powerful when you learn to live with it, and adapt it to your own purposes ) It will protect you from harm, as well, when you can't protect yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may well be other beings out there which are so unrecognisable to us that we cant relate to them, or them to us. Thus they cant be gods to us. It is the connection and similarity which enables one being to be a god to/for another being. Likewise with constructs. Not much point in constructing a god who cant speak your language or hear you.
