<p>How is it important?</p>
<p>So who created God, then?</p>
<p>beprepn</p>
<p>God IS (phylosophy.) I think that trying to see what created IT is beyond our brain power for now. You could damage some synapses trying to answer that question. Personnaly, I think that God IS everything, and that he has no origin, nor does IT has an end.
Many religious doctrines picture God as a maculine human being. This is probably wrong.</p>
<p>This is one of the most ridiculous threads I have ever seen.</p>
<p>I’m not even him, and I can answer that question: it’s important because according to the bible, the earth is the center of the universe. Thus, stating that the earth revolved the sun would be contrary to that teaching, no matter how illogical it is.</p>
<p>(and corranged: seconded. a hundred times over.)</p>
<p>maybe Business Freak is right. We atheists and our heeby jeeby scientific theories are ruining the people who so whole heartedly follow a being who allowed one man to organize the execution of over 9 million people in a few years, countless numbers of others in the crusades, terrorism, spanish inquisition, etc. The same god who intelligently designed african americans to be inferior beings to caucasians (well untill the 1960s, when he intellegently designed civil rights) The same loving and caring god who allows so many people to die of AIDS, malnutrition, genocide, bigotry.</p>
<p>Now that I think about it, with a god like that, how could I be so stupid as to think that over about 99% of our genome is the same as a chimpanzees.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I agree berthran, but the same can be said of anything that isn’t known or well-explained by science. I hate it when atheists are ridiculed because they use the Big Bang or another theory to explain the origin of the universe, and yet, the religious can get away by simply attributing it all to a concept of God that is at least as unexplainable.</p>
<p>The BigBang theory, which has been expanded to the M theory ( the theory of everything derived from the string theory) is very valable. I support it and I do not see any other explanation yet to the creation of the world.
The Idea of god is just different. I do not call myself aa atheist. I may be a Deist, beacause I believe in God, but not in the way the Church tries to describe it. Even if God does not exist, IT is a necessity to believe in IT. Imagine how many people out there thinks that there is somebody up there that will help you. Imagine when you feel so lonely and lost. It reconforts to BELIEVE that someone loves you and will help you. Even if it might not be true, it does help to go through difficult times. I support scientific approach 100% ( and science does not argue AGAINST the existence of God), yet I think that humanity needs a transcendence (even if it is fictive) to contain its evil side. And you are aware that humans can be monsters when they choose to.</p>
<p>It is important because:
If you said yes, then you are totally contradicting your whole intelligence design because the bible claims that the earth does not revolve around the sun. Additionally, many people who believe in intelligent design claim that evolution is only a theory. At the same time, the earth revolving around the sun is a theory. Additionally many id’s point to the Grand Canyon as proof of intelligent design, yet scientists have determined it has taken millions of years to carve through the rock.
If you said no, then I have absolutely no clue what is going on inside your brain.</p>
<p>Additionally if you are anti-atheist you are going against all of Christianity because you are supposed to love all people as to who they are.</p>
<p>Also don’t tell me Moses (there is no evidence he existed!) parted the red sea, because first off, he didn’t even cross the Red Sea, he crossed the Reed Sea (which was a low tide marsh on a windy day)
Business_Freak, until there can be some evidence (actual concrete scientific evidence using the scientific method) I can’t say that most of the Bible is true!</p>
<p>How can somebody state that the world originated 6,000 years ago. My god, even the Sphinx is older than that. Moreover, they argue that science is wrong. Yet, they use the GPS systems, which are heliocentric. They are shouting we are revolving around the sun.</p>
<p>
Good point. God wants us to kill them all anyways.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>God is most gracious, most merciful. </p>
<p>I find it extremely hard to believe there are actually people who replace their faith with crazy scientific theories. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I am not Jewish, but I found this insulting. People do believe in Moses, no need to spit out doubts.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Wonderfully put!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Have you ever observed God actually doing something for you? Not imagined, since it’s easy to imagine that God does something, but actually witnessed it?</p>
<p>On the other hand, everything you do in life has been affected deeply by the work of scientists and their “crazy theories.” The fact that you’re using a computer right now shows that.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Why dont you use the “Argument of Motion” on computers? :D</p>
<p>And it was God who created scientists in the first place.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Then why ridicule them and their work?</p>
<p>As for the argument of motion, let’s just keep that in the theological arena :)</p>
<p>Ya. I agree.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Because they result in people like you, atheists.</p>
<p>Are you sure you’re following what is preached by your religion? You’re are not.</p>
<p>Instead of calling yourself a religious, call yourself an EXTREMIST. That’s a better definition of what you are. And do not think that you’re saved yet. If you judge somebody, he/she will go to heaven before you (and that’s according to your bible.)</p>
<p>It’s poeple like you, incapable of INTOLERANCE, who bring war and destruction to world.</p>
<p>I mean INCAPABLE of TOLERANCE. You guessed what I meant. You know yourself.</p>
