Do you believe that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe?
Can anyone here (besides us zealots) answer a question, or challenge to their reasoning seriously? oops thats 4!
1) No, but I will if I find sufficient reason to.
2) No, proof is hard to come by.
3) Don't know but would be curious to learn more about it if so.
4) Depends. Do you mean answer a question without any facts or a proper understanding of the question? Perhaps I could pretend to but no I couldn't seriously answer an incoherent question.
What is really holding me back is my inability to understand what a 'god' might be. What are the minimum requirements?
Eternal?
Creator of everything?
Moral decider?
Are we specifically defining a god as the god of the bible? (I find it very implausible for that god to exist given what little I've heard. Too many apparent contradictions.)
Please tell me exactly what qualities a god must possess so that I can consider if I do or can believe in or reject them for that matter. So far, I just don't really know what we're talking about.
