I don't believe in heaven or hell. I believe that when you die, your brain stops working, you're done. Gone. If you think about it, there's no logical reason for you to have a 'soul' or whatever you want to call it.

1) yes actually things were perfect, there was no death or disease and there was no sin...yet, until they ate the fruit...then common feelings like shame (nakedness) and so on came to be 2) i think humans look more like god than a owl...i think thats the point...the bible isnt always to be taken literally, especially the old testament...if god were human, which he was, he would be a primate, homsapien 3) God knows everything 4) ok, well thats is all based on theory...amino acids cannot just form DNA, plus the first genetic material on the planet was RNA, becuase it is so much more simple...and DNA cant just make cells 5) only if you try it first btw i do not consider my self a very religous person, so matbe im worng on some of those issues, but i answered to the best of my knowledge

I myself consider a majority of the old testament bs, however:
Can you prove that god doesn't exist in any way?no Can you prove that god does exist in any way?no could god have set up the world like a clock (age of reason) and let it tick and step away? yes |

Here's the thing...I'm agnostic. I don't believe a god if there was one would be able to be proven or disproven. As such, I live my life as though there were no god. The problem with the arguement either for or against god is that by the other-worldly nature of god himself, no worldly proof against him can be used. Being human, the only disproof of god would be inherantly worldly. The same goes for any proof of god's existance. Here's an example.
If god is the creator, then what created god? God existed and will exist forever. But that is impossible. God is not based in the rules of this world (hahaha sounds like the matrix). Personally, the best disproof of a god that I can offer is that people having free will and god being omniscient together are a juxtaposition. |

See, the hardest part about debating the existance of god is that the method for the debates cancel each other out. If you follow the scientific route, evidence shows that there is no god. But try to point this out to one who believes, and they will tell you Faith is all that god needs to function.
Another amusing quote that The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has to say on the subject (while incorporating the subject of the Babel fish, a fish that translates all languages when inserted into the ear...don't ask, pay attention to the bolded bit). Quote:

Neither religion, nor Science is perfect. We can all agree on that. Both take a create deal of faith.

This is why I tried to keep religion out of it.
We can all debate religion and no one is going to concede without a whole lot of biblical talk. Even then you might not get anywhere. For scientific theories, you need to use science only, because not everyone belives the bible to be a reliable source, and there are many interpretations of it. Whether those be wrong or right, you still have trouble arguing against it. I am a very religous person, but the way I see the bible is very different than more other people. Try to keep it to science only please, because you wont get very far with the bible. |

I don't know that making a new forum for this was the best idea. I know I will be less inclined to read something in the critical thinking forum...

I use that for my french homework. But, I seriously think that either everything in the bible really happened, OR someone was on something seriously fucked up. How would it be that science is not perfect? Humans created science to explain what we did not know right? So basically, it was all in vain? Religion. Now that we're allowed to discuss this, why are we only discussing the christianic version of how we all came to be? I mean... Hmmmm... If it really was just this one "God" that created us, why are their other religions? If the belief is so strong then why doesn't everyone believe? So... Well, in my mind I've just ruled out religion, unless they all rooted together some how. So back to the infinite topic. I know that no one can fully comprehend this, but.... If there really was another planet infinite lightyears away, and we were thinking about it, would we really be thinking about that planet? Hmmm... It's really hard to explain what I'm thinking on a fucking forum.... Ummm.... K, think if there IS another planet out there somewhere with life right? Now, if we think about it, would we really be thinking about it in the present? I mean, do thoughts travel at a speed in your mind? So are we like... Really thinking what we think we're thinking? Ok.... I couldn't really explain what I was thinking about.... But if you can understand what I was trying to say please respond... |

Not really, bean. This thread...didn't start out to be religion, but its all about how the universe was created, so it kinda has to be. Anyway, this topic includes religious discussion, so yeah.

Heh, I get what you're saying. But at the same time...I don't really. Thoughts arn't transmitted through space, they're just in our own heads. So how could that apply to infinite worlds? You need to read Ender's Game. |

Side comments: I agree argueing about this is trivial.. but i don't consider this an arguement.. im not trying to pursuade anyone to just over to the evolution side of the line.. and i hope no one is trying to do that vice versa.. im just saying what i think... people contradict me with other beliefs.. so i reitterate on my beliefs with more examples and more logic behind the thoughts.. so i can talk/read about this all day and not get bored, because i love hearing what people have to say about where they came from..
