Quote:Man, see every time I wish the red light would turn green it eventually happens. Are you saying that's god?
I don't doubt that this experience was real to you, but it could easily be a coincidence. And Occam's razor says we shave away any unnecessary explanations. So which is more likely...you asked for Dolphins and luckily there happened to be some around? Or a supernatural being that supposedly created life and can hear millions of prayers decided to answer your prayer, despite the single mom praying for food for her children, or the millions of people dying from all sorts of diseases and praying for a miracle, he decided yours was the one he would answer, and so he magically sent dolphins to your beach to cheer you up. (Holy run on sentence, batman!)
I'll go with the former.
Perhaps He did. In my toughest times in life its stopped me from doing anything that would harm myself.
Why did God answer my prayer from everyone elses?
Why didnt God anwer my friends prayer, which was to be healed and not die from cancer and answered mine?
I dunno.
Like I said, I have been there 12 years in a row and never seen dolphins there. Perhaps it was coincidence, perhaps it was not.
However that is of course subjective evidence and I would never use it to try and convince someone there is a God.
Quote:So you saw some dolphins in the sea and took it as revelation? and of course everybody knows that there are no dolphins in the sea. if you had asked for a mermaid and seen one that would be something.. but you saw dolphins! and in the sea! not in a shopping mall or starbucks.
Exactly my point. Your scared of spiders? what? How could you be? You are so much bigger than them. Our experiences shape what we believe, think about it.
Quote:You mean those of us with a rational mind that use our five senses to make sense of the word around us, and therefore base our assumptions and beliefs on things that can be proven by our five senses, instead of believing in magic and fairy tales?
Rational mind? Perhaps a self deceiving mind?
