What's your definition of "God"? - Page 14

Wing Chun · 01-19-2008, 02:39 AM

god called "god" is not really god, my god

words can't define god, they can only describe

The meaning of God is different for everyone. Even different among people of the same religion. Everyone's brain is different and the existence of God or the concept of God is interpreted differently, like it or not.

For me, I feel that God, or what ever it is called, is some center from which all matter comes from. If you try to conceptualize the vastness of space....it can be scary.

So where did all the stuff come from. Carl Sagan said it best; "We are all star dust." So where did the star dust come from? I don't know, but it comes from some central force. There must be some root of existence, some place or some thing that all the elements came from to create stars and planets and ultimately, humans.

That would be the big bang. Procreation always starts with a bang.

The body is a natural container, housing a supernatural entity...
The same supernatural entity mixed up the recipe to form (constitute) the human.

From the hyper-metabolic kitchen...

Agreed.

It is my contention that what actually constitutes a human being is neither human, nor scientifically natural in any way, shape or form. It is supernatural, IMO.

Atom · 01-26-2008, 06:49 AM

An ape's constitution is completely natural, a human being's is not, IMO. We humans are spiritual creatures, nature is simply academic. Again, IMO.

Neurotheologists have found that the spiritual experiences of people, from Tibetan monks to Franciscan nuns have certain things in common. It would seem that prayer and meditation produce very similar results, both as described by the people experiencing them, and in the brains of volunteers as viewed by neurobiologists. Such experiences are very often described in terms that blur the lines between self and 'not-self'; people describe how they are at one with the world or universe and that they no longer existed as separate entities. They also describe how they feel the presence of God, how they are at one with Him and how they hear His voice. They even feel absorbed into His being, or speak of His being permeating theirs. They experience timelessness, infinity, centring, quieting, nothingness, and out-of-body experiences. Can all of this really be described and witnessed using a glorified X-ray machine which tracks blood around your head? Strangely enough, yes...

That's some interesting giberish. I do, however, find religious giberish much more interesting.

Scuba Steve · 01-28-2008, 08:59 AM

he as a being is a chump.

i believe that there is a life energy, that there is something out there, whether it can think for itself or not, whether it knows it made us or not, the universe is infinite, apparently alternate universes are just as infinite, somewhere in all of infinity there has to be something

Atom · 01-28-2008, 09:05 AM

It's just that life evolving from non-life doesn't make sense to me.

Scuba Steve · 01-29-2008, 09:08 AM

its all about the quantum physics at this point, the stuff that this type of physics is discovering is incredible, absolutely incredible, its not so much the math and this and that of newtonian physics but this physics entertains ideas that break the rules of newtonian physics and has proved that they are not always true, they are discovering alternate universes, alternate time lines etc.... and perhaps they will discover more or nothing at all

Rankenstein · 01-28-2008, 09:50 AM

There have been some decent guesses made as to how life could have come about in the first place but it's all just... well... guesses. Very well informed guesses, but I don't think we'll ever really know the truth unless we can work out how to do it ourselves. Maybe there's a few ways it could happen? Maybe it's so improbable that it has only ever happened once in the whole, billions of light years wide, theatre of the Universe.

I'm pretty sure I'll never know anyway.

That's an interesting thought. I would think that the chances would be hard to predict with an unknown for the size factor.

I think we should ask Steve Vai, I believe he knows God personally...
Or the devil...

Can anyone tell me where the elements of the big bang came from? If matter is neither created nor destroyed, then it just exists? Everything that is, always was, just in some other form? No. All matter came into existence some how. But how? This concept just freaks me out.
Never mind. It was God. Thats easy enough, God created it. That is ONE explanation. How about some others?

Atom, you do realize that your hat is made out of stardust, right? hehe
