I really wish people would educate themselves before jumping to overly-simplistic conclusions.
I with him on this one. Think about all the stars in our galaxy. We even have planets orbiting other suns in our system. Now if you were to take out all the stars in the sky that belonged to our system, the brightest thing left shining would be the Andromeda Galaxy, just one of the many thousand galaxies that shine its light onto the earth.
Now based on that, if you think we are the universe was created soley for us humans, go right ahead. I personally think that with all the odds out there that there had to be a correct set of circumstances for life to have existed. Besides, we have already discovered proof that very simple life has existed outside of our world.
Plus to think that this HUGE universe was created only for the benifet of mankind is just as egotistical as declaring your god the only thing that brought about existence.
If God created existence, where did God come from?
Look, based on what I know, I was raised Christian and went to church for years but have also spent alot of time studying our reality with science and math. So to sum it up;
It is just as possible for "God" to have made everything as it is for man to have created "God" to explain the unknown to fill this empty hole in mans mind.
As technology increases everyday and with newer scientific breakthroughs, I believe that mankind will eventually abandon his notion of god, just as his views and beliefs about that god have changed throughout our own history.
You know Jewism use to be a Polytheistic religion before Moses? Infact, the first people to exercise monotheism were the Egyptians, ironicly around the same time they had a bunch of slaves...
Herbal Reviewed by Herbal on . intelligent design > pure accident I just smoked with my buddy and we were discussing dark matter, multi-dimension theories, and other such things that are way beyond our scale of comprehension... we are both wondering how someone could see the complexity and intricacy of this universe (from clusters of galaxies down to atoms) and believe that there was not some sort of "higher intelligence" behind it, even if the "higher intelligence" simply aligned the big bang and just left us spinning since... this is NOT a Rating: 5
