Guest Devilicious Posted July 6 Report Share Posted July 6 raised catholic, i believe in God. people who dont believe in some higher power are ignorant. imo. there HAD to be a beginning of the universe. to believe that it just always existed is far more silly than the notion of ANY supreme being.The real question is who created God and how did God come about? If Godliness is creating universes.. then the human race could be Gods soon if we don't annihiliate ourselves first.there is no reason to think a human mind can even comprehend whatever being or force created the universe.Sounds like the definition of an agnostic And you can fairly say people who don't believe in god are unenlightened, or that thy're going to hell, but claiming it's ignorant is incorrect. Ignorance implies being unaware of facts, knowledge...things that are proven. Religion is a matter of opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pod Posted July 6 Report Share Posted July 6 there is no reason to think a human mind can even comprehend whatever being or force created the universe.Maybe a human brain as it exists today, but what is to say of the human brain of tomorrow? Either through evolution or through augmentation, we are bound to grow more intelligent. By my estimates, organized religion is in for a nasty shake up in the next 100 years.

Guest pod Posted July 6 Report Share Posted July 6 That being said, I'd say science is my religion, if such a term could apply. I tend to have faith in the capabilities of people to develop and understand things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either through evolution or through augmentation, we are bound to grow more intelligent. By my estimates, organized religion is in for a nasty shake up in the next 100 years.its fascinating to think about. perhaps if we start growing new senses or something in the next 100 years, but if the previous 100 are a comparison its probably not going to happen. there is always going to be a limit to the human brain. a human would have to become omniscent. its beyond our power of observation.

Guest pod Posted July 6 Report Share Posted July 6 Read up on the Omega Point for scientific theories and concepts that explain how someone could become a god. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega_point ... to start, then check the external links. As for a shake-up, I'm not suggesting that a sudden appearance of omniscient humans is going to do that...in the next 100 years, you'll have cloning, life-extension, and other such concepts, some of which go against what some organized religions teach.

Guest trancepriest Posted July 6 Report Share Posted July 6 They'll just conform religion to science just like they've always done. The world is flat... the earth is the center of the universe. ;D Then again they could just say screw being nice.. and start quartering/burning/torturing people again.

But then who created God? Cause to you it sounds reasonable if there is a begginning to the universe rather than having it always existed. But then, the same idea applies to God.You see, with faith you just can't use logic, cause it has none any way you look at it, that's why it's called faith, because you just believe in it, without having any proof.So please don't call us ignorants because we don't follow your way of thinking of how things MAY be, cause you neither you nor I really know what's up.

Guest pod Posted July 6 Report Share Posted July 6 That could be the case as well. Oddly enough, there was a little article ages and ages ago in the LA Times when they first thought they found evidence of past life on Mars. Most of the lower-level church functionaries really didn't see an issue with it, but the higher level church people were undoubtedly a bit concerned. A sidebar mentioned Islam was alright with the concept of extraterrestrials, since the Koran says Allah is the master of many worlds, or something to that effect. But yeah, it seems in the end that the science community has to smack the religious community pretty hardcore to get them to accept controversial findings.

Guest The_Man Posted July 6 Report Share Posted July 6 I let people believe what they want. I'm not here to save the world. My thing is, if you don't have faith that there is a God, then what can you have faith in? (rhetorical) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
