My point is this: SOMETHING had to create it, right? I mean, an explosion just doesn't happen in complete vacume for no reason.

You are thinking 3 dimensional where you should be thinking 4 dimensional.

The big bang theory is not ment to describe wat caused the big bang. It was designed to describe what happened just after, so that we could check the background radiation and see what happened in the beginning of time.

First there was nothing. Then there was the big bang. A noiseless explosion of matter. Then there were brainless zombies. Oh sorry, I mean religious people.
If you can't think for yourself and think that shit in and old book and people in church should control you, then you ARE a zombie.

Oh, and by the way: Who created god? It's parents? It's dog? Tell me. I must know. If you don't have answer, then your religion must be a lie.

I'm just saying one of the most common argument's I've heard against God is that things simply "can't exist on their own".

Well then that also rules out the big bang.

And God was created by himself. :P

Who's thinking in 3 dimensions now, Liks? :P If God exists, he would have to exist outside of this universe (in order to create it, duh), and therefore outside of time.

I'm not thinking 3 dimensional, I'm thinking practical:

If God just is, never was and never will become, wouldn't it then be able to see our future (since it exist outside linear time)?

Why would it then create something like us if it created man in it's own image?
Isn't this god supposed to be perfect and shit?

And why do everyonecall it him? Have someone seen the holy kock of god?

The god can't be perfect, exist outside linear time and be male. That's just crazy. Like scientology crazy. At least their book is fun to read. The bible is not.

But those are the flaws of most sects of Christianity, not creationism in general.

But if everything needs to have a beginning and an end, doesn't the god need a beginning and an end too?

What if our universe is just a part of a multiverse and there is no god?
There could be universes where linear time does not exist. Are the beings there some sort of gods by your standards since they do not die and cannot be born?

I just think that religions suck. They make you dumb.
BURN THE HERETIC THAT THINKS THE WORLD IS ROUND!
AND BURN THE HERETIC THAT THINKS THAT THE EARTH CIRCLES AROUND THE SUN.

Dumb.

5 crusades, Syntax. Learned that in my U.S. History class, believe it or not.

Now we see the serious "outside the box" thinking that I once attempted, Liks. Don't dwell on it, it'll break your brain. Some of the answers to some of those questions just makes me think on an even more massive cosmic scale. Our insignificance just grew exponentially when you think about it. Our Universe is perpetually stuck inside another Universe immensely larger than our own. Well, shit, we're even smaller grains of sand now. Heck, we're not even grains of sand on a beach now, we're the atoms of a single grain of sand in the middle of the Sahara.

We are insignificant. :(

EDIT: Wow, that post sounded really emo. I guess I should kill myself now lol. (Not really, I'm actually in a really good mood. I realized my college finals are gonna be a breeze once I thought about it. So yeah...)

Woot existentialism.

But remember, s123i68 (I actually typed that without checking your name :D!), We're the only important atoms in the entire Saharan desert! Because we uh... I dunno. We just are, alright? Because if we weren't, we'd feel bad, and we both know it's logically impossible for the universe not to care if we exist or be concerned with what we do.

(I'm talking about the Jewish/Christian God here, and speaking as though everyone assumes he exists for my examples.)

So, uh...it's impossible to disprove the existence of God for a simple few reasons:

He exists outside our universe, unconstrained by time and space.
He is all-powerful, thus able to make evidence pointing in the total wrong direction.
He decides what is good and what isn't (sin is said to be "disobeying God"), thus making any false evidence justifiable.

I think people always refer to God as "he" because it was more common for the male to be the leader in the time of the writing of the original bible, no?

Maybe he created us despite knowing how we'd end up because some good is better than no good at all.

And the evidence that points to the bible being written after these other religions were made up, and the evidence that points to these alternate Jesuses being made before Jesus came, and so forth...all possibly true, yet all possibly false. Evidence really doesn't work when it comes to detecting something beyond our universe. Maybe even if the supposed time line is correct, the alternate Jesuses could have once been simply prophecies 'er whatever.

So basically, my argument is that there's no room for debate when calling an all-powerful being into the mix. :P



And yeah, I think science and religion can coexist perfectly fine. God can cause evolution, he could have caused the big bang, and the funny thing is that it's completely irrelevant how such things occurred.
