So, did you even go to a school? There is this thing called science that actually has evidence and proof for it's conclusions. Of coarse some dimwit in a dress knows more about the workings of the universe than hundreds of years of research and experimentation.

That is some powerful stupid.

Side: No

Yes, there is a god, but i do not think it is an entity, can it take the form of an entity? You bet, ive come across god many times in my experiences with people, and what i can say about god is that it is something we all have within, god is interconnected between everything, and you either realize this, or you dont.

God is the feeling and experience of life, i look at the world and see explanation for everything, which is all part of a conscious thing, but explaining how consciousness does this and that, is not the same as experiencing the consciousness for what it truly is- which is infinite. I think if you watch this video you will understand what god really is, and what our potential can become: http://perceivingreality.com/

Yes God definitely exists, the proof are us complex human beings with freewill and our complex minds are proof, nature is proof in how beautiful it is, pi and the golden ratio are proof of beautiful design, animals are proof, the vast universe, the fact that when push comes to shove and even knowing that we're (mankind) is a speck in this infinite universe, yet we're still the special ones, we're still the ones asking questions, no other species that we know of is even close to the magnitude that mankind has been living in its existence.

That doesn't even make sense. How does pi prove a god? It HAS to be pi, because that is how circles work.

Is there God? Yes. The people from Science would definitely raise an eyebrow, but even they know there's God. In their terms, they call it Nature. God or Nature, whatever we call it, refers to the supernatural power that rules the world. Whenever Science fails to account for something, we call in this supernatural power, and that's basically what the layman calls as God.

It is the power that ignites life in living things, and is responsible for creation of universe. Even the laws of physics obeys the rules of Nature. So there is definitely some supernatural power that is responsible for the existence of life on our planet.

I am a Christian. I believe this is a fine book to recommend. I did not recommend it for someone to look at the cover or read reviews of. I recommended it for someone to read. You have already passed judgment on the contents of the book. Judging a book by its cover, if you will. (The book SEEMS to be...)

If you are not a Christian but wish to learn about Christianity and why people believe it, then you would be willing to read a book that has God's name in the title and also is sort of a science book. You would be willing to read it without getting angry and being unhappy about the fact that it is defending Christianity.

If you do not wish to learn about Christianity and why people believe it, then why are you even in this forum?

I don't wish to make Christians look dumb and uneducated. This is a high school level book, so it is written in a slightly easier-to-read way (I'm not sure why you say it would make Christians look dumb and uneducated, but this is the only thing I could come up with).

I have actually read the book so I think I have more right to talk about what is in it.

I recommend this book because when I was in 7th grade I read and it helped me understand what I believe and why.

What if ...

it could just happen?

What if it did? What if this amazing complexity did come from a nonliving, non-sentient source? What if the big bang simply assembled galaxies and stars and planets only from gravity, if atoms are held together by the natural nuclear force, what if life can form from electricity passing through certain nonliving molecules, and then evolve into wondrous species?

What if the universe is like that, despite how strange it seems? Wouldn't that be fascinating?

The evidence certainly points towards that.

Since man cant explain all things by science and much of science is theoretical - looking for proof is like looking for the needle, Belief in God is a matter of faith, given that it cant be proven one way or the other then we must ask ourselves what is the most likely explanation. The Earth and all the syatems working within it seem to me (an engineer) to have been designed and constructed which must have had a designer. As it says in Genesis God Created it he therefore is the designer and manufacturer. and lets face it if you make something don't you just love it!!!!!

Yes He did but in most of those case Man brought it opon himself but since you probably havent read up on the subject the plagues you refer to and indeed The Ark were Old Testament - after the coming of Jesus God promised he would no longer interfere. The suffering you refer to is due to people like you who dont believe in Jesus and God.... He only helps thse who help themselves so it seems. try praying for enlightenment - in your own words!!!

Hey Guys! I agree that there is such a thing as god, but in many different forms. Nature is just another form of god. God is our believe. He has created us, you say evolution but its just a theory. But not confirmed fully.

I shall give an example; Water.

Water in english is 'Water'.

But Water in Chinese is '水'.

Water in Malay is 'air'.

Water in Tamil is 'தண்ணீர்'.

You can clearly see that it is water, but look at the different names it has from different languages. All of it mean the same thing. Other religions have different names for their gods. But they are all the same. Atheist calls it Science.

Side: Yes
Emperor(1348) Disputed

But then why call it god?

If nature is nature, and there is no evidence for the supernatural, then why call it a god or angel or demon or spirit?

Why not just call it a beautiful, vast universe, filled with life and stars and light?

It is the same to us mortals. It is not as if you look up at night and see god's face and it talks to you. There is no god, only stars.

You could call stars the face of god in the night, but why? It is metaphorical there, and if you wish for real knowledge, then you would know that they are not actually faces of gods, but only stars, of which you can find out how they work and why they are there.

It is much more fascinating in my opinion to call the universe the universe, and enjoy it for what it is, rather than for what I wish it was.

Well have you been to the universe and experienced it yourself? No. Same as for seeing god. No one has ever seen god, but why do we believe in him, cause he teaches us good ethics and moral values. No one said it is wrong to not believe in god, or the real life. But The things around you is only reinforced by people, which they think its true, cause thats the best option in their mind. How is it that thousands of years ago, during the starting stages of civilization like the Chandra Gupta Dynasty, Aryabhatta who was a mathematician and astronomer, was able to find out the motions of the solar systems, and earths rotation, without using advanced tools. That is because they were driven by the force of god, due to their passion, they want to continue learning more and proving themselves to others.

I believe in God. I also believe in the role science plays in our societies. This argument is based upon absolutes that we truly have no realistic reference points to make such claims. Confused? I base my stance on faith, I feel, sense, smell, taste, and see the wonders of God all around me and it is great. But if you look at this from a purely impartial point... Technically we would both be wrong. So as I state this it does come out hypocritically for I know that I am according to this theory for I believe in something that can not be proven until death. But I stay the faith in God and Jesus regardless of what man and woman do or say.

Of course there is a God. Only fools believe otherwise. The question isn't is there a God but how can a physical person communicate with a nonphysical/spiritual entity. Does one not agree that you as an individual do not keep your lungs exhaling/inhaling while you sleep or your heart pumping blood through your veins? Do not your inherent faculties function independent of you and your governance? What is that running the show then? The hidden power is not life itself but rather the life giver for many things are dead but have they not also been created or if you prefer do they not also exist?

The Atheist, A Bear And God

An atheist was walking through the woods, admiring all that the

"accidents" that evolution had created.

"What majestic trees! What powerful rivers! What beautiful animals!" he

said to himself.

As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes

behind him. Turning to look, he saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards

him.

He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder

and saw the grizzly was closing.

Somehow, he ran even faster, so scared that tears came to his eyes. He

looked again and the bear was even closer.

His heart was pounding and he tried to run faster. He tripped and fell

to the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up but the bear was right

over him, reaching for him with its left paw and raising its right paw

strike him.

At that instant the atheist cried, "Oh my God...!"

Time stopped. The bear froze. The forest was silent.

Even the river stopped moving.

As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky,

"You deny my existence for all these years, teach others that I don't exist

and even credit creation to a cosmic accident. Do you expect me to help

you out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer?"

The atheist looked directly into the light, "It would be hypocritical to

ask to be religious after all these years, but perhaps you could make

the bear religious?"

"Very well" said the voice.

The light went out. The river ran. The sounds of the forest resumed.

..and then the bear dropped his right paw, brought both paws together

and bowed its head and spoke: "Lord, for this food which I am about to

receive, I am truly thankful..."

Since we cant even explain how gravity works or begin to duplicate even the most simple of God designs like Evaporation and desalination of the sea condensation into rain and precipitation to give us drinking water. looking for proof either way is probably impossible. What you should try is to decide is, what is the most likely cause of the earths complex systems. For example if you visited a scrapyard and found in its middle a cutting edge passenger Jet, would you assume that a whirlwind must have passed through the scrapyard and assembled it by chance or would you think it had been designed and manufactured and transported to the scrapyard due to Health and Safety Legislation :)

Perhaps people should stop having million dollar weddings for their puppies and comparing the cost of their child's slippers while others don't have potable water. Of course it's their democratic right to do as they please but a little humanity could co a long way. to the average person; stop buying every color of one top in one style and help someone else. Of course, however, you can do as you see fit. Who am I to say?

See I'm pretty sure you value you free will and you prefer to have it versus being controlled and having every decision made for you. I do. The problem is that free will is ubiquitous; it's everybody's gift and right. The other more pressing problem is that every action or word said affects another human being. We all know that but not many of us care. People seem to equate lack of perfection in the world with the non-existence of a God. Why does understanding the mechanics behind the solar system or reproduction more specifically human reproduction make it any less of a miracle especially in light of all the knowledge we have yet to acquire as it regards the utter perfection in which the earth functions; the sheer synchronicity of it all.

People may think me silly for believing in a God or see it as a surrender of my intellectual abilities but hey if you think a big bang or theories of that ilk can account for all that you see around you ; if that is more plausible to you who am I to say nay?

Trying to telepathically connect with your imaginary friend is as helpful as trying to enlist the help of elves.

taking the side of an abrahmic god is a sure defeat. but then again if such being really reveal itself non-believers will only believe out of fear. like some sort of spy. and the world will be in complete chaos.

Side: No

Unless I see it right in my face that god is true, I still think that gods are just a rumour. So many different types of saying about god
