'Seeking' God

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
Or as opposed to writing off the scientific literature that explains a lot of those experiences?

A finite entity cannot be omnipresent as the void is infinite. Why then is there a god only at this point in the infinite void.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
-- Homer Simpson God has no place within these walls, just as facts have no place within organized religion. -- Superintendent Chalmers Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things. -- Ned Flanders Once something's been approved by the government, it's no longer immoral. -- The Rev Lovejoy 
Alright, I shall leave you to your 'delucents' at this point. I'm in no mood to butt heads against the brick wall you've built up around that pink, fluffy little cloud in your head. I will just make the observation, not original to me but pertinent to the topic in hand, that it's interesting how science gets it absolutely right whenever you (generalising) want new drug treatments, cleaner energy, better consumer electronics, etc; yet is completely, utterly, 180° wrong when it comes to matters such as cosmology, evolutionary biology etc to which the holy books lay claim. A rational person should know why that is. Do you?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Like I've said before..when I became a Christian I believed in evolution, and was willing to accomodate it within my faith..until I actually investigated it and found it to be totally lacking the supposed evidence that had always been drilled into my head as being so totally overwhelming. Same thing with the cosmology..I found out the big bang theory has more holes than swiss cheese. I am interested in the truth and there is no truth to be found there. And where did you do your investigations? AIG? Kent Hovind? Ray Comfort? Or did you read some real books on the subjects? And you're a Born again Christian I see. Worse than reformed smokers in my opinion. If you're not supposed to ride faster than your guardian angel can fly then mine had better get a bloody SR-71. |
