Nah, not really. In God land this reality could be the equivalent of a wet fart. Maybe it was. We have nothing to compare this to.

I see you do not know what IMO means. GC
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

No, I fucking don't think that it would have to be fucking close to omni fucking potent. That would be a fucking stupid assumption. Why the fuck would a creator need to be omnipotent?

If I had created the Universe and anyone dared to suggest that my powers were anything less than omnipotent I would be rather miffed.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House “Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom "If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke.

Now, I don't think any of them got it right. But the idea there was someone who created the universe doesn't seem far-fetched to me. (I know it does to Atheists)Have you ever put any time into seriously challenging that reasoning? Are you sure that it's reason? Some of the statements below don't stand out as reasonable (even though they're all completely understandable). Quote:Evolution is the best current explanation for how organisms on earth came to exist. Which is why I dismiss most religions (that and most of them have something against vaginas). Everything came from a single cell (or at least that's the current scientific explanation) That cell might even have been god. No clue.That beef with vag is puzzling, lol...huh? Course, what if god -did- have something against vaginas? Is that really a reason for you to dismiss those religions...is that reasonable? I can see it as a great reason not to be -part- of them...not to bend the knee, but I don't know whether or not it has anything to do with their accuracy. If you're going to believe in a god...why -not- a misogynist god? After all..many human beings are misogynists.......and that seems, from your comments, to be a compelling line of reasoning to you. How have you decided that misogyny isn't one of those characteristics we picked up from our creator? Quote:. But anyway, if someone (or something) created the universe, then I would imagine it would have some of the same qualities of humans. It might have the same qualities of several different species, all of them, or even none of them. But I imagine it has some human qualities because humans have this desire to create. To discover, and to explore. And with a universe as vast as this one, I'd imagine that a creator would share some of those same qualities. Not because we're special, but because I think creations tend to take on some characteristics of their creator. Now not always, obviously. But much of the time (which is why I'd be inclined to believe many organisms probably share some quality of a creator if there is one) It's hard to say since if we do have a creator, he or she or it has kept its distance from us.So how does a test fit into that? In general..we're testers of things, so you imagine god to be"The Great Tester of All Things"? We're alot of things...some of them not so generous, why not a rapist god..or an unflinching bot-fly into childrens eyes god? How about a cross dressing god? A flesh eating god? Quadruped god? Compound eyed god? I'm just wondering.....considering all of the vast, vast list of characteristics that we have, or that all other creatures on earth have - why god ends up sounding like a case example of modern western human being when you describe it? Are you sure that you're not describing yourself?

Heaven is the same place its always been. If too burrow from rob here allow me to express it like this
Lets say that S in this means all scientific knowledge and A means all of our arts knowledge combine them and you get the entirety of human progress. That means S+A=P and the equation for heavens locations is best expressed as (As per the comments in this thread) Heaven=P+1
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.
