Guest guest Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Hi, Although I am a believer in the Creator, I recognize the rationality of your words, and have come to that state myself. What was there before the big bang to bang from? I do think we will find out the answers one day, and IMHO it has to do with love. We have to stop killing and start loving. We have to really care about each other, we have to DO NO HARM, and I don't only mean the doctors. I know technology has been increased because of wars, but I think the really important discoveries and inventions have been accomplished out of a desire to do good.

" [if you say " God made us " then the question becomes, " Who or what made God? " .] You cannot get from an accausal, none logical existence to a casual, logical existence by causal means IMHO. The movement from the former " condition " to the latter requires one or more accausal steps. Therefore [in that light, and accepting it] the question becomes nonsensical. So the answer is, " I don't know " . I know there are a number of propositions, but I know of none consistent throughout. > > Re: Iodine Book that I just saw > <hypothyroidism/message/34032;_ylc=X3oDMTJxOHAyMDV\ nBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE1BGdycElkAzE0NTY2NARncnBzcElkAzE3MDkyNTEwODIEbXNnSWQDMzQwMzIEc2V\ jA2Rtc2cEc2xrA3Ztc2cEc3RpbWUDMTE5OTA3NzIzMw--> > > > > Posted by: " Crystal " sweetnwright@... > <mailto:sweetnwright@...?Subject=%20Re%3A%20Iodine%20Book%20that%20I%20just%\ 20saw> > sweetenloe1 <sweetenloe1> > > > Sun Dec 30, 2007 5:21 pm (PST) > > So , Just how do you think we got here? > cw > > -- Re: Iodine Book that I just saw > > Certainly; among the creationists!

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 I'm sure you believe that G-d is not nothing, so if he is something, the questions of who or what created him is valid.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 In another post, , I have said pretty much the same thing. The strength of your faith, and the pureness of its spiritual message should not have to depend on your total acceptance of the dogma. If a faith is real and true, it doesn't matter if it is questioned. It withstands questioning without being shaken. Roni <res075oh@...> wrote: And there you see one of the many differences between science and dogma. When science looks for the " origin of everything " it seeks to do the same that it will do with any other search: eliminate as many assumptions as possible. The assumption that there is a god is, of course, not a given in itself. But if one starts with the assumption that there is or may be a god there is no automatic evidence that that god was not in turn created. Since science does not accept our existence [the entire universe] as " proof " that god exists then science generally does not address the issue; as there is no other available evidence. At the same time scientists, who, after all are human may or may not have a personal belief in god or the spiritual realm. But you will find only a tiny percentage of even those who are spiritual persons who believe life has existed for only about 6000 years. While NO THEORY IS EVER PROVED in science the evidence for life back millions of years is utterly overwhelming. I'll repeat again: If your faith is so weak that it depends solely upon a " life on earth " time span of only 6000 years then your faith rests upon a straw in a hurricane. None of the lies and spin of the creationists will ever even make it to the published peer review literature; and if it did then whoever published it would have just committed professional suicide, forever branded as a nut case. I'll repeat something else again: I suggest you let god create the universe however he/she/it chooses; whether Big Bang or whatever. It does not have to destroy your faith should you ever find out that some tenant of your dogma is wrong. After all, the most devout believers of dogma are those willing to blow themselves to bits [and murder countless innocents] in support of that belief. Are you that devout?
