Is God real?

[Chronos]

I agree with you on majority of what you said. However, Young Earth Creationists believe dinosaurs coexisted with human beings, and they also believe the Earth is 6,000 to 10,000 years old, not 2,000.

I tend to not listen too much to those ideas so you can understand my mistakes. However, it's still ridiculous.

 

[Extinct]

I don't believe in god, there's a scientific reason behind everything and there isn't really any proof that a god exists, religion is just based on beliefs and opinions, not facts.

No buddy God is not have physical state but in other sense God are present in everything that are in our around and I think it is great thoughts about God if anyone have believe on God’s blessings. This is the great answer for all humans who are thinking about God when they feel troubles in their life and lots of happens are appeared in front life. So guys I think God are one power who are doing everything just a moments and he is knowing all things which we have in our hearts and minds so I just say we are humans and we are not have too much power for doing every things so it is our duty we must takes believe on God and always pray him to get help in whole life.

Is God real? We always think it in our minds but some time we say yes or some time we lost our faith so my believe get strength when I caught in trouble in last vacations guys in last year I visit in Australia and when I am on road my car is crash and I fall in forest so then I just think I am gone die but suddenly I feel good and I open my eyes and see my car are stand on a nick of mountain and if I do some efforts then I save my life so I just think about God and try to come out myself from this happens and next some mints I completely save my life and I am absolutely right and my car are not damaged from everywhere. So then I believe on God very much now I remember that time because vacations are comes and we make a plane to enjoy our holidays deferentially.

This post is not meant to offend any body, if you can not handle my point of view then do not read my threads:

I personally believe that there is a higher being, not saying it is god, not saying it is not god. If you look at animals per example you shall see my reasoning. When man first domesticated the wild dog, and made it either a pet, work animal, hunting animal etc, the animal knew nothing of what the person wanted it to do nor did it have any idea on the tricks that the person would teach it. We took these animals in, taught them to do tricks (sit, stay, lay down, track, pull sleds etc) and they do it with out hesitation now pretty much on demand. Same thing with teaching birds to talk, obey orders etc. Now if you step back and look at the big picture, maybe there is something up there that has taught us how to live our lives, how to do the things we do, how to build the stuff we know how to build. I mean think about it, how in the world did the creation of steel just come to Henry Bessemer? I mean it would be one thing if it was simple like creating fire through friction, but there are so many catalyst and precursors etc in the creation of steel. How did James Watts come up with the steam engine or Christian Huygens create the internal combustion motor in the 1600s? I look at it like this, we are a higher beings pets. This higher being trains us, teaches us methods to do stuff with out us even knowing that they are doing so. I figured that we are like a giant ant farm to this higher being. If you have a EDUCATED rebuttal feel free to continue the conversation here, pm, aim, or skype with me.

Can't say I believe in God on my day to day life, when I go to work or when I am in a class. But when I think of the universe and start to wonder where it originated or where the edge of it is and what is one step beyond that point and if there is a multi-verse and how many of those there are I start to believe in a higher power.

So what your saying Slackers is this "higher power" filled mans head with ideas, and thus the world as we know it.

To an extent yes. I believe that the higher power is something that we refer to for advice (praying), help (praying), forgiveness (confessional) etc. That the higher power has also given us enough knowledge, morals and intelligence to survive but will not run our entire life for us. He is teaching us what we need to know and letting our lives take their own course

Ok sound legit... I'll give you that.

Firstly, I must say that your reasoning is pretty poopy, however, I like the approach. The force you are describing is not demonstrable, and unlike domesticated animals and us, the force is not visible. Those inventors created those items through a tool called science, not through a Grand Designer's guidance. However, if you say otherwise, let it be known that your hypothesis is using unfalsifiable logic to prove it's own claims.

Ok now whats to say that science is not a word created to describe the exact events that i described in my earlier post? How would we be able it describe it if it did happen with out being told that the person that created it was insane? Like i said im not saying that there is no god, but at the same time how are we just now discovering stuff mathematically and engineer wise that was used to build the pyramids?

Hence, unfalsifiable. If you're referring to prophets and prophecy, I would assume that this clandestine force would send a catalyst with abilities to demonstrate that he is not insane.

Like i said im not saying that there is no god, but at the same time how are we just now discovering stuff mathematically and engineer wise that was used to build the pyramids?

Huh? You're going all conspiracy theory on me. I don't see the relevance or correlation of the two. However, I suppose we're just now discovering their techniques, because we only recently began to study their techniques, however, I'm not even sure if these claims that your making in your question regarding the pyramids are even true.

Though it may not be a god to some, there has to be a higher power or stronger force in charge of the creation of everything. It only makes sense. To me, the Big Bang Theory and other science theories about creation such as evolution just don't quite piece together. A random "explosion" out of nothing created what we are today? I strongly doubt it. I believe in God, but that's just me

'Yeah, I strongly doubt it, but a talking snake is reasoning of the downfall of the human race, and that wafers and wine are the body and blood of God, now that I can believe...'

Lovely logic.

Once you comprehend quantum physics, something from 'nothing' is completely rational and possible.

Evolution isn't a creation theory, it's the process which we evolved, the explanation of how we evolved. The theory of evolution is flawless, name one real flaw. The big bang wasn't an explosion, nor was it necessarily big, nor was it random. The big bang was an expansion, the singularity of our universe. It wasn't big for it started with a particle infinitesimally smaller than an atom. It wasn't random, because what evidence is there to dictate that this isn't what quantum physics naturally does? Absolutely none.

True that some aspects of the Bible seem outrageous, but the point i was getting at is there must be a higher power/ God in the world. And the idea of evolution and the Big Bang theory really do not click with me. It just doesn't seem likely.

Denying evolution is the essential equivalent of denying the holocaust. The abundance of evidence is just too great. I highly suggest watching a simple video showing evidence of evolution and the big bang on YouTube.

I think your thought process is being misconstrued by the term theory. A scientific theory differs greatly from a simple theory.

A scientific theory summarizes a hypothesis or group of hypotheses that have been supported with repeated testing. If enough evidence accumulates to support a hypothesis, it moves to the next step—known as a theory—in the scientific method and becomes accepted as a valid explanation of a phenomenon.

Unlike a simple theory, where the contrary aspects can be found, such as it can be invalid, untested, and not supported by invalid logic.

I would agree with you on this. The idea of the Big Bang theory doesn't suit my fancy. Believing in a higher power gives me hope and purpose in my life.

It does not matter whether or not the idea suits you. The fact of the matter is that the evidence shows the truth behind the theories of the Big Bang and evolution. Science's truth doesn't depend on whether or not you believe in it.

The stance of religion, however, is a completely different story.

 

[Savaged]

There has to be some God. I mean, everything didn't create itself someone had to do it.

I'm right here bro ask me w/e llellee huehue
