Does God Exist? Scientific proof!!
What if there are just infinitely larger organisms? that control or influence those smaller than them? Every step we take we make huge changes to microscopic lifeforms.. and hell, if atoms were somehow conscious, we rock their world every time we breathe or blink!
Something that always gave me a headache when I was a kid was thinking about the end of space, and what comes after the boundary if space were to end somehow. It has to be an infinite expansion, but how do you create anything infinite? and if space is currently expanding, than what is it expanding into! nothing? how did the nothing get there? where is the nothing going?
Sides, god cant show him or herself.. anyone else seen dogma? If it spoke we would explode:jointsmile:

infinitely larger organisms is one of the answers my poor little brain pulled out after being cooked by the questions of how the hell can things just keep going forever as a kid

not to throw this thread off topic.. but what if we only exist in our own circle? That handles the infinite problem.. just take range of vision as an example.. It's not perfect, but it'll work I think for what I'm trying to say.. We could shoot through space in an infinite distance assuming we don't die first, and of course never find the end no matter what speed we traveled, were it even greater than the speed of light... impossible.. i kno, that's not the point.. But, only a small bubble of space exists to us without communication to others far away, we know what we can see, and that's about it.
What if that is all that exists at that point? our bubble of vision, Then while we could travel infinitely and experience constantly different sights and locations, we still are only in the center of our bubble.
Our bubbles move with us.
sort of a self centered way of seeing things :P my mother nearly slapped me once when I told her that one.. That I effectively thought I was the center of the world.

Do I believe in an Ultimate Being? Yes
Do I even come close to trusting organized religion? Ya, sure, about as far as I can throw Manhatton!
Other than that this is an awesome thread. Good debate on both sides.

I get what you're saying Antipas, however, the question of god requiring a creator is a logical question.
The complexity of life is generally used as "proof" of a creator. Why then does this infinitely complicated being not also require a creator for the same reasons? That spirit is different than mass and motion and somehow works by different rules is a statement of faith not logic.
Ultimately it boils down to an argument of faith against the argument of logic.
However one justifies that we require a creator, the same logic can be applied to god. If you have to take a leap of faith to presume that god needs no creator, what is the logical reason for not just simplifying and saying we need no creator?
Many believers call this arrogance. I say that it is the arrogance of man that demands that he be a special creation of some all-perfect being. The idea that man is the result of random chance is humbling rather than a source of arrogance.

Antipas you're very eloquent and it's obvious you've thought on this deeply.
Only problem I can see is this, if I agree that matter, motion, time, and space (sounds like the lead-in to a TV show) needs to come from "somewhere" and is expanding into "something" doesn't necessarily mean that somewhere and something is god. That conclusion requires faith, not logic.
Indeed, everything we know could exist within the science kit of a nerdy adolescent, whose universe exists within the science kit of a nerdy adolescent, etc, etc, etc. All I know for sure is a turtle is heavily involved somewhere . . . :wtf:

I'd say it requires just as much "faith" and logic to believe that there isn't a God, as it does to believe that there is a God.
It can't be proven either way.
Edit ~ I'm not a real big fan of Hawkings either for what it's worth.
