Discussion on the Origins of the Universe, Life, and Mankind

Look, it boils down to this: Not knowing something doesn't prove God exists. Not knowing is simply not knowing. Science is perfectly content to say it doesn't know something yet. Making something up to fill the void of knowledge does not actually fill the void of knowledge. That's why there are different words for knowledge and faith. Knowing how the universe works does not disprove the existence of God. Not knowing how the universe works does not prove the existence of God. The universe is as it is regardless of what you choose to believe. God is or is not regardless of what you choose to believe.

i agree with this person's assessment

Is that person you?

[LiveFreeorDie]

You know, mousey, this is actually a pretty good statement.

God is or God is not, and His existence is not influenced by our belief or unbelief in that existence.

Love for those who live in a condition of objective sin demands that we struggle to liberate them from it. The liberation of the poor and the liberation of the rich are achieved simultaneously.

Relax, blid, you're not gonna be banned for failing to capitalize.


...right mousey?

i honestly have no freaking clue what constitutes a bannable offense from the board at this point

[Certified MENSA Genius Brain (smart)]

Discussion here is extremely serious. Proper capitalization is only fitting as a matter of decorum, even if not mandated by the rules themselves.

Aww thx Baby

I have a busy couple of weeks coming up so I might not be able to contribute as much as I would like in the near future - but nm I dont think this topic will be [SOLVED] any time soon.

..... The universe is as it is regardless of what you choose to believe. God is or is not regardless of what you choose to believe.

i agree with this person's assessment

Yeah I agree with it... mostly.....  Although I have this idea floating around in the back of my head that suggests that God exists because people have faith, and that people create God the same way God created people, which is an impossible chicken and egg thing, but many of the big questions boil down to paradoxes.

... and I'm not convinced of this type of thing, like I am sure of science stuff, when I occasionally think about them, they're just ideas, not beliefs.


BTW: I consider myself a hopeful agnostic. I don't believe in God, but I would like to. I would love to be able to convince myself that God exists. I havn't yet, but it will be a nice day if it ever happens. BUT... I am not convinced that God doesn't exist either. I have absolutely no evidence whatsoever to disprove God, and would never try to argue that point.

[Lambchops]

Now "big bangs" and particle physics ideas are awesome fun places to visit in you mind ... the possibilities are amazing.... and for me, these concepts seem much more "Godly" than an old guy with a white beard making play-doh animals and trees then tapping them with his magic God wand and bringing them to life. You don't make a universe like that ... eww... God would do it so much more awesomly!... well I'd like to think so anyway.

Certainly not in the marxism thread


EDIT:  ...sorry, the Marxism thread.

The Marxism/leftism thread is a free-wheeling forum for chat found in the General Discussion subforum.  Serious posting is not required. 

You can find most of the cool people in the leftism thread. You can just chill and do whatever and totally relax. "Take it easy" is the leftism thread motto, for example, that's how laid back it is there. Show up if you want to have a good time. Another good reason to show up is if you want to hang out with friends.

Yeah cool, I was just making a bad pun "failing to capitalize"

Do you get sent to the shame thread for bad puns?
If so I'll understand ... It was pretty woeful lol.

why? doesn't seem like something to be excited over, more disturbing than anything. god is letting the earth slowly degenerate to capitalists and capitalism.

Gee, why would it be nice for there to be an eternal paradise in the afterlife instead of just the rot and decay of your corpse?
