Well, Chi, what I'm about to say will be considered a cop-out for some but from me it's the honest truth. The deeper I've gotten into science the more I see the complexity of it all. It seems, in fact, to be far TOO complex to be considered purely random. Therefore I believe in God and the rest naturally follows.
Our understanding will never reach the end of the complexity. For every answer we uncover, a dozen more questions arise. As powerful as science is, it will never discover all the answers.
Let me also make it clear that I never bother debating the subject with those who do not believe - that is their choice to make. Everyone follows their own convictions and I don't wish to push my beliefs on others. Scientific matters, yes, I will debate them with no hesitation when anyone states scientific matters incorrectly.
hey light,
cop out, not atall quite the opposite from my pesonal opinion, more like realisation of a vital possibility, i believe there could be a god, and i dont take the holybooks into consideration when thinking about god, i just think about it like this,
an infinite force/energy/being, that gave birth to the universe/creation etc, it would explain many things if a god existed, but religious sects are not true,
the only true religion is the man and his faith right? you do not need a church, preacher, building, book of stories to philosophies about the concept of god,
anyway, thats what i try to explain to peple but it never seems to get across right, "we will never know EVERYTHING" i try to explain that there will always be things we do not know, and some things we just cannot understand,
but people have a erge and lust for allknowingness, it seems to blind them, we just cant know everything no matter what tests we do, unless we have total control of space and time and basically have the powers of a god, we cannot know,
we can theorise and guess how the universe began, but can we truley "know" what happened billions of years ago, can we have proof? i say no personally,
i personally am content with not knowing everything, i will continue to philosophise aslong as i can think and deep down something tells me i already know the answers, but i know right here on this earth i will never know if i know, because there is nobody here to tell me if im right or not, there isnt even anybody on this earth who was alive 200 years ago, and we have no real video footage of what happened 500+ years ago etc so we cant even be sure is history is all correct, i could go on and i had some other things to say but i forgot... so yeah,
peace.
