Since Heaven and Hell are not temporal ..
RE: Since Heaven and Hell are not temporal ..
(December 18, 2014 at 8:57 pm)Godschild Wrote: Science and the Bible agreed and no one was interested, because you guys don't want the possibility of God being real, that would mean you would have to accept something you've spent years trying to run in the ground.
Most of the scientists (if not all of them) who set mankind on its present course were believers in god, and I would not doubt that many of them were trying to find and prove god as they went about their work. That they never found god is very telling. That people of all walks of life continue to try to find god and fail, to the point where they tell us that god cannot be found, is equally telling.

But you are right in one thing-- I don't want the god of the Bible to be real, because he is a very scary being. Even his most devoted followers have to admit that they have no guarantees that he won't do the most terrible things to them, they just pretend that if they are good and devout little children they might not get his attention. Because a god who is capable of anything yet culpable for nothing can turn you inside-out and you would have to thank him for it.

If I thought your god was real I'd do the same thing you do-- go into full blown denial and pretend that he is the greatest person who could possibly ever exist. And then I'd just keep hoping that he never gets it in his head to mess me up, because his imagination and his wrath would be as limitless as his power, and I'm just one of his chew toys.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
