    Maybe he died. But he lived for billions of years before that =/ He wouldnt die in the 2,000 years after humans appeared.

      Re: God Exists? Interesting essay I found.

      Time does not exist. At first humans measured time by the movement and rotation of the Earth, and we still do. If we started out on another planet, say pluto, a day or a year would be drastically different.Also, we base time on decay and use decay as a proof of time. So when people talk of time travel, they talk of returning to the previous state of something.

      It's natural for a human to try and explain things. Before the advent of the scientific method and other discovery tools utilizing logic, we used faith because it was unexplainable. To us. That is also why we haven't been able to solidly and irresoutly prove the existence of God. He is unexplainable by His very nature, so we resort to faith when speaking about him. Also, we haven't been able to disprove the existence of God, so we speak in faith when we say he cannot exist.

      We can only use logic to explain our immediate physical universe. Not the other (if any) universes. So if God does exist, then some may assume that he exists only in the unphysical universe, while others will maintain that, since He is Supreme, he must exist in all universes. This is all talking in the assumption that such a being does exist.

      However, it seems hard to believe that no Greater or Supreme being exists. If not then where did the universe come from? And when we speak of the plane that our universe came from where did that plane come from?

      It just seems to make our existence that much simplier to believe in a Supreme Being. So perhaps thats where the idea came from, human laziness. We were too lazy to find the reason by testing it, so we made it up. As has been said, the answer is 42.

        God, as a supernatural being, would never die.

        The whole Euclidian thing threw me off as it did you, Talisman. But I did get it after a while. "If something that possibly exists is necessary, then it is necessary," or something like that, logically follows as being necessary, because if something within the scope of a Euclidian frame is possible, then it can and will occur in some instance. Then, because necessary is assumed true for all worlds because of the definition of God as a "supreme being", then it all logically follows as true. Euclidian S5 modular logic is a tricky one in that respect.

        Like I said, I'll see what my English teacher can come up with. Maybe we'll get something out of what he finds.

          Wait, huh? What? I pointed out that talisman's point wasn't what he was trying to say, I clarified for Afro what faith is, and I explained to you what relative time is. I haven't actually made an argument, let alone a bad one.

              No, no, the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he could pull his own thumb off (it was an illusion).

                          Izzy, it actually seems that there is some discussion going on that isn't you flaming people for their beliefs. I'm enjoying watching the conversation that's coming up.

                            the thing with all this god business is that the only way to prove the he does or doesn't exist is to die. But the problem with that is your dead and you can't tell everyone what's happening

                                If you want to look at that way then eople who beleive in and worship God have nothing to fear. If Cristianity is right then the atheistsare screwd, if scientologists are right then christians will be fine.
