<p>Something I came up with a few weeks ago:</p>

<p>"There will come a day, when all will end. The day when man will open his eyes. And he will scream. But no sound shall come from his mouth, for he shall see that there is nothing. That everything he has worked for amounts to nothing. The day when he realizes that there is no heaven, that there is no hell. And the damned shall cheer, and righteous shall weep, for there is no punishment to fear. The wicked shall loot civilization of its strength, and mankind as we know it will fall. Yet not a tear shall be shed, for there is nothing to cry for. Shall we guard our hope behind religious fallacies, or shall we open our eyes to the truth we actively seek? Yet the question cannot be ignored: why are we afraid of nothing?"</p>

<p>i believe there is something that we as humans cannot comprehend and that is not neccesarily "God", and no matter how much we try to prove an all loving god etc its probably somehting alien to the human race.</p>

143

<p>The thing is, if we can't believe in God, can we believe in other things that are not scientific either?</p>

<p>For instance, can love actually exist or is it just a figment of our mind that is made up to have people feel pleasure in life?</p>

144

<p>Science can only go so far...the rest is in God's hands...</p>

<p>also, there IS evidence of Biblical cities...just so you know. Even noah's arc...</p>

<p>I hear that the arc of coveneth(sp?) if found, will be 10x times greater than the discovery of king tut.</p>

145

<p>For one thing; consequences don't always amount to hell.</p>

146

<p>I believe in God. Not an almighty, omnipotent who created us, but a supernatural one that exists as some sort of divine force in nature that we can neither comprehend nor understand. It's simply there to guide us through through our physical era of life and then our spiritual era of life. As for how human evolved, evolution appears to be the most feasible theory endorsed into my mind......for now that is.</p>

147

<p>If God suddenly showed his faced to us; would there be a need for faith?</p>

<p>After all; we are very insignificant on an universal scale.</p>

148

<p>I believe in God.</p>

<p>"There is a god for everyone else, but I am my own God."

<p>maybe aliens from mars created us, like in "mission to mars" </p>

<p>.....</p>

151

<p>but who created them?</p>

<p>I wonder where all the sources of the building blocks of life trace back to...how can you create matter out of simply nothing?</p>

152

<p>People are afraid of nothing because they don't want to admit that their lives are totally insignificant...for many, that realization is pretty depressing and makes everything seem totally futile..personally, knowing that there is nothing makes me want to enjoy my time while I'm here. Though my time means nothing to everyone else, I might as well live for the present than dread some inevitable future.</p>

<p>sigh, reminds me of the time medieval dummies first learned that they're NOT at the center of the universe. It's a heliocentric world out there my medieval friends. I wonder why they had such a hard time accepting secularism when they were so concerned about megalomania. I mean the fact that their lives were centered wround the "God" essentially undermined what they believed in and it also actively contradicted it. sigh, medieval times, what a single minded society it was. (sorry, just musing about the stupidity of medieval age here)</p>

<p>Just for X-Fatuation:
x-fatuation- I am so sorry if I came off harshly, its just your post set me off and I was to quick to make assumptions- i guess I took it the wrong way. I think you are pretty cool too :)</p>

<p>Now this is for the general posts now)</p>

<p>We tend to judge happiness and good fortune on material things, and we can't. </p>

<p>If I have blessings in my life, it is that I am able to help others.</p>

<p>I am not sure about God, but I do know that there is no reason to believe in God and to not believe in science- it can be both. Like, there were no cars in Genesis, yet here they are. In the bible, it also says its okay to stone people and all kinds of things that make no sense today.</p>

<p>Jesus also says to not show off your faith, such as when it is the Sabbath or you are fasting. So those that walk around all holier than thou actually go against Jesus' teachings.</p>

<p>I have read the bible- looked up locations on maps etc. Sure, biblcal locations are there. So are places from Greek and Roman Myths. And locations from Native America tales. And Africa. And Australia. And the Aleutian Island. All these cultures have their stories. Many thousands of years older than the Bible. None is worse nor better than the others. Everyone sees God, Gods, Goddesses, whatever in their own way and those ways should be respected. </p>

<p>If indeed there is a God, we were given brains and intellect. We have found cures for diseases, we have found how to alter plants, we have learned to go to the moon, we have learned to seach the universe, all things deemed impossible not so long ago. Quarks, atoms, other galaxies- from the smallest to the biggest, we are still searching, and we we continue to find bigger and smaller items.</p>

<p>We just haven't found all the answers yet. That is all. Humankind has discovered so much that we thought we would never know or have the answers for. Its may take us 10 it may take us a thousand years, but the scientific answers with be found.</p>

<p>Beautiful post, citygirlsmom.</p>

<p>"The riddles of God are more satisfying than the solutions of man." G.K. Chesterton</p>

157

<p>I don't want to start a huge religion debate, but I do want to point out that the Bible is historically very accurate. Many of the locations have been found today, many of the events have been confirmed by other historical documents, and it was the only book ever written with no grammatical errors in its original version. Just food for thought....</p>

158

<p>Regarding scientific discoveries, just as man finds more answers we find even more questions. According to this trend, what makes you think that we will ever find any absolute truth in scientific discoveries? What makes you think that will ever find all the answers?</p>

159

<p>I believe in God.</p>

160

<p>I don't know what I believe. We're here and God isn't (not physically, at least). I sorta keep a place in my mind for the possibility that God exists, but I don't go to church or anything.</p>
