Seriously

[Fidel_Castronaut]

Seriously. I have joined to find answers to the big questions in life. I cannot believe in anything just because someone says so... and that goes both ways - both by religions and by nonbelievers. For someone to say there must be a God, for how else can we explain the existence of the universe.... or for someone to say there cannot be a God because we cannot prove the existence of such a God... are equally unacceptable! These are just opposite "view points" but with no real substance. I hope by joining this forum that I can have some proper discussions and ideas/feedback from people who are open-minded and serious.

Well actually just one of those positions is a view without substance. The default is null, so when someone makes a claim (I.e. There is a god), they are making a positive claim that requires evidence to support it. It is logical to thus reject and dismiss that claim if evidence to support it isn't forthcoming.

Universal existence is its own subject, however.

But welcome, hope you enjoy the forum
