I'll first say, I do not follow a particular religion, but I do believe in a creator or God or higher power or whatever you'd like to name it.
The reason I believe there is a creator is, there is so much intelligence within life, that it seems it points to the idea that it must have come from somewhere.
And the question I always ask people who believe in atheism is: Why does sex feel good?
Seems simple. But really, it's more complex that it may seem. Why is it that the area of the body that feels best when stimulated is also the area that is responsible for reproduction? For example, why isn't it the elbow that feels amazing and produces a feeling like an orgasm when rubbed? And why is it that we have hormones that make us horny? Well, it seems that the reason sex feels good and we have hormones that make us want to have sex is to give incentive to humans and animals to participate. And it just so happens that the result of sex is the continuation of life. If there is no God or creator or higher power, where does this intelligence come from? Where does ALL the intelligence in life come from, such as love and hate?
Isn't it possible that there is a God or whatever you'd like to call it, only it doesn't exist as a man in the sky or any form that most religions might describe it by that this intelligence originates from?
If you would have talked about consciousness and rather than intelligence then I could see your point, my own consciousness is mysterious to me I don't really know how to explain it.
But intelligence is explained by evolution, and sex.
Put simply, if there was an animal species magically put on this earth now who's elbows or other non reproductive parts of the body felt orgasmic when rubbed chances are these animals would die out without reproducing because they had been rubbing the wrong organs together, mean while animals that do have an overwhelming urge to rub their genitalia inside a females genitalia to the extent they will fight and endanger their own lives to do it will reproduce successfully .
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
