How were you created?

[Hardcore Newbie]

How is my post condescending when i put 'how'

My stance is i was created by God.

Make all the sexual intercourse jokes you want, it doesn't offend me, it simply reflects on your maturity to actually think about an issue instead of simply joking it aside, deflecting your thoughs with humour.

I used to be agnostic but now i truly believe i was not just thrown into existence. Ganja is the key to a new understanding of the self, the universe and Jah.

Yes, jokes mean immaturity. none of us have discussed this much at all in this section of the website. And besides your poll asked how I was created, not people or life in general.

Having said that, my mom and dad boned each other, did the nasty, bumped uglies, horizontal mamboed, and put the penis into the vagina and ejaculated all up in there, got a few tadpole swimmers around the egg and I'm the one that won out

I believe god is a creation of Man and life is simply a natural miracle. It's something that should be revered but not taken too seriously.

my parents banged and TADA!

[krazy chino]

yeah God had my soul resting and he threw me inside a sperm cell and permitted me to win the race and fertalize the egg so my soul could get combine with its other side the "evil side"...............basically God put me in my daddys balls my dad shoots me out (hoping i dont land in a toilet or a napkin like my other dead brothers n sisters) then i combine with my other side and rip thru a vagina

uh.. my mom and dad fucked... what else do you want me to tell you? :wtf:

[junther22]

well i would make a serious post about how i and the entire human race came to be but i dont want to start a debate about creationism/evolution so i just used humor to avoid that

I was conceived the day JFK was killed, and born nine months later, so I'm going with...I am JFK reincarnated! Now if only I could figure out how to tap into the family fortune!

Well, at the beginning of our observable universe, matter and energy came into existence (without violating the conservation laws regarding the creation of such things, mind you; all the matter and the energy in the universe, when they are added together, equal zero). The universe was mostly hydrogen and helium, which gravity collapsed together into clumps, which became dense enough to undergo nuclear fusion in their cores, synthesizing the heavier elements. The larger stars, the ones with the most heavy elements, end up going supernova and exploding their contents throughout their galactic region. Over a few generations of stars, the new stars now have planetary disks of heavier elements, which was the case with our Sun. Clumps of matter in the solar planetary disk coalesced together by gravity, until many of them had assembled into planets. On Earth, some sort of chemical process occurred where organic molecules became capable of making crude copies of themselves. The molecules which were more accurate and more efficient at self-replication created lots of copies of themselves, and the molecules which weren't died off. Thus began the process of Darwinian natural selection, a powerful process by which energy from the Sun is able to create amazingly complex machines that are extremely efficient at self-replication. Four billion years of that and here our horny asses are.

There is no reason to posit anywhere in this process the intervention of some amazingly complex designer. Consciousness and intelligence are the most complex things we know of in the universe. The purpose of evolution is to explain how complex things like consciousness and intelligence arise from simple beginnings. The "intelligent design" hypothesis is so obviously untrue because its basic argument goes like this:

Gee, wee need to explain how all these complex things like biological organisms, and especially consciousness and intelligence, got here. So let's assume that there was some amazingly complex, conscious, intelligent creature with magical superpowers. We have no idea how he got there. Maybe we weren't meant to know. He invented all these amazingly complex things which are much much less complex than he is.

Really, think about it. Anything complex enough to design and create all of life would have to be much much more complex than even the entirety of life itself. If your main problem with evolution is that it's hard to swallow that complexity can arise from simplicity, you should have a much larger problem with the God hypothesis, which says there is something more complex than life itself that arose from nothingness.

wow oneironaut. that's an astounding combination of practical science and ethereal awareness. I'd give you rep but it wouldn't let me cuz I've given you some recently.

I believe that in some way, our "souls" or some type of awareness existed pre-mortally. I don't think they were ever created though, just recycled from one form of energy to another. One reason I lean that way is by observing the characteristics of each astrological sign. Whether you believe in a daily horoscope or not (which I don't), there are obvious general personality similarities with people born during the same time period in the year, with some exceptions. It indicates to me the possibility that those individuals possessed those attributes pre-earth and somehow were consigned to specific time of year for birth, maybe due to the orbital position of the earth around the sun.

I also believe that in some ineffable way, all human beings and animal beings and plant beings and probably all matter and energy were at one time or will be one great whole and possibly one conscious entity.

These are just my current conjectures about this topic. I like what the 'naut said about how the complexities in conscious life shouldn't encourage you to work backwards from the point of something much more supreme, but rather to look at the foundations of that life to better understand our nature. But like always, our minds have a hard time with infinite matters because all we are capable of perceiving is based in a finite universe and any superior intellect we are capable of is founded on natural, raw molecular material.

this thread has potential but the immature posts are fucking it up.
