IS there really A God? Most people on Earth do believe in God..But NOT all the same God. How can there be different God’s? Isn’t there just ONE God? Of course every religion believes in their own idea of God. Do you have to be religious to believe in God? But this is not about religion. If God is real..who or what created God?
I have found when I question the very existence of God with some believers, they get very angry…that how dare I question what they believe. I had a friend on fb who was always condemning people who didn’t believe or think the same as him. So on one of his slam comments to another, I asked him..”isn’t being a “Christian” aren’t you supposed to be tolerant of others”? He then told me..God actually speaks OUT LOUD to him..and he doesn’t have to be nice to them because they are bad people, and he will never be friends with anyone who doesn’t agree and believe the same as him. I then told him..I’m pretty sure God does not speak OUT LOUD to him. IF God did..then he is thee ONLY human being ever in the history of the world..to ever hear God speak OUT LOUD. He then called me an atheist. And then UNfriended me. I am NO atheist. I believe religion and belief in God is a very personal relationship (private) between you and God. I don’t think there is anything wrong with anyone asking questions.
I have..or (had) a friend who is a few yrs older than I. She tells me all the time that God always comes to visit her around 4 AM..to talk to her. Ok i said..I’ll bite. She told me God came to her and told her to get a new car. I asked “WHY does God want you to get a new car, when the one you have isn’t old and nothing is wrong with it”? And why would God talk to you about UNIMPORTANT material things? She hasn’t spoken to me since.
I had another friend that told me..God gave her “Special Powers” WHAT!! Ok sure..She said, I can read minds, and I am telepathic, I can heal illnesses, and has even cured some of cancer. She said ” I can see into the future. So I asked her, then why do you have so many money problems? Why not use your powers to win lotto and get out of debt? And if you can “CURE” cancer and diseases..WHY aren’t you working at a cancer treatment center, or the Mayo Clinic? It seemed logical to me. Well, by this time I had pretty much heard enough. So I told her..Yes I do know many people are quite delusional, and their heads are in the clouds. Maybe come back down to earth with the rest of us..MORTAL HUMANS.. Well, needless to say..she also unfriend me, and blocked me. She never spoke to me again.
Ok, last example..A guy on fb made a post about..he needs your prayers. He said he smokes pot every day, not for medical reasons..it’s just because he loves pot. So he says he needs everybody’s prayers so he can pass a piss test for a new job he is trying to get. This one really pissed me off!! He wants people to pray to God, so he can get away with cheating on a piss test. Now I am no expert..BUT..I really don’t think God is into helping a POTHEAD CHEAT ON A PISS-TEST to get this job! And what made me even more angry..there were tons of people supporting his CHEATING! So I said to him & all his PATHETIC friends..THIS IS THEE MOST DESPICABLE request I have ever heard! I told him to grow the hell up! And there is a reason this employer DOESN’T WANT DRUG ADDICTS WORKING FOR THEM!! Needless to say..I never got a response back.
NOW..In the interest of Philosophy & Religion:
The existence of God, in religion, the very proposition that there is a supreme supernatural or preternatural being that is the creator or sustainer or ruler of the ENTIRE UNIVERSE and all things in it, Including human beings. In some religions God is also conceived as “PERFECT” “UNFATHOMABLE”. As all powerful and ALL-KNOWING. And the source and ultimate ground of MORALITY.
Belief in the existence of God, or (Gods) is known as Theism. Christianity is the largest of all Religions. Christians, have been concerned with the question of whether God’s very existence can be established rationally or by Reason alone..or maybe instead must be accepted just as a matter of Faith.
It may be possible or (impossible) to prove the existence of God, but it may be unnecessary to do so in order for belief in God to be reasonable. Maybe the requirement of proof is too stringent, and maybe there are other ways of establishing God’s existence. As for science, God does not exist. We have theists on one side and atheists on the other. Atheists say “You cannot prove God exist..”therefore God does not exist. Theists say “You cannot prove God does not exist” therefore God does exist. Basically how science would disprove the existence of God or Entity, Is, there should be concrete evidence of His existence..Not Faith, but by tangible, measurable consistent evidence, that can be predicted and tested using the scientific method. They say if we fail to find ANY evidence, then God cannot exist as is defined.
One thing we know about science, it is always evolving and changing. because of new discoveries. So in theory, it may be possible that someday we will come across new information that will lead us to further explore the God hypothesis. Even with some kind of discovery, Faith would still have to come into play. In the Bible, God says “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart, I will be found by you”.
Now for Some UNexplainable Absolute Facts:
Take our Planet – Earth – It is the perfect size. The earth’s size and corresponding gravity hold a thin layer of mostly nitrogen about 50 miles above the earth’s surface. If earth were smaller, an atmosphere would be impossible, like the planet Mercury. IF earth were larger, it’s atmosphere would contain free hydrogen, like Jupiter. Earth is the only planet equipped with an atmosphere of the right mixture of gases to sustain plant, animal, and human life.
Earth is located the perfect distance from the Sun. IF earth were any further away from the sun, we would all freeze to death. IF earth were any closer to the sun, we would all burn-up. Even if it was a fractional variance in the earth’s position to the sun would make life on earth virtually impossible. The earth rotates on its Axis, this allows the entire surface of the earth to be properly warmed and cooled every day. And our moon is the perfect size and distance for it to have its gravitational pull. The moon creates important ocean tides and movement so ocean waters do not stagnate, and yet our massive oceans are restrained from spilling over across the continents.
WATER:
Colorless, odorless, and without taste. And yet NO living thing can survive without it. Plants, animals, and human beings consist mostly of water. About two-thirds of the human body is water. Water is also chemically neutral, water enables food, medicines, and minerals to be absorbed and used by the body. Water has a unique surface tension. Water in plants can therefore flow upward against gravity, bringing life giving water and nutrients to the top of even the tallest trees. Water freezes from the top down and floats, so fish can live in the winter. 97% of the earth’s water is in the oceans. But on our earth, there is a system which removes salt from the water and then distributes that water throughout the globe. Evaporation takes the ocean waters, leaving the salt, and forms clouds which are easily moved by the wind to disperse water over the land, for vegetation, animals and people. It is a system of perfect purification and supply that sustains life on this planet, a system of recycled and reused water. PERFECT EVERY TIME..
The Human Brain:
Simultaneously processes an amazing amount of information. The brain takes in all the colors and objects you see, the temperature around you, the pressure of your feet against the floor, the sounds around you, the dryness of your mouth, the texture of your cloths. Your brain holds and processes all your emotions, thoughts, and memories, all at the same time. Your brain keeps track of the ongoing functions of your body, like your breathing pattern, eyelid movement, hunger and movement of the muscles in your hands. Our brain can process more than a million messages a SECOND! Your brain even weighs the importance of all this data, filtering out the important from the unimportant. Our brains functions differently than other organs. There is an intelligence to it. The ability to reason, to take action, and relate to other people.
The Eyes:
Our eyes can distinguish among seven million colors. The eyes have automatic focusing and handles an astounding 1.5 million messages..simultaneously. Evolution focuses on mutations and changes from and within existing organisms. Yet evolution alone does not fully explain the initial source of the eye or the brain. The start of living organisms from non living matters.
DNA Code: Our bodies are a very detailed instruction code. The DNA code in every human is made up of 4 chemical units, called nucleotide bases, that scientists abbreviate as A, T, G, and C. There are 3 billion pairs of these letters in every human cell. Our DNA code is the most complex Genetic code, and makes every single one of us unique. There are NO two human beings with the exact same DNA code..Including “Identical Twins”.
What caused the universe to START? Scientists are convinced that our universe began with ONE ENORMOUS EXPLOSION..of energy and light. Which we call the “BIG BANG”. This was the singular start to everything that exists: the beginning of the entire universe, the start of space, and even the initial start of TIME itself.
Astrophysicist: Robert Jastrow, a self-described agnostic, stated, “The seed of everything that has happened in the universe was planted in that first instant; every star, every planet, and every living creature in the universe came into being as a result of events that were set in motion in the moment of the cosmic explosion…The universe flashed into being and we cannot find out what caused that to happen”.
Steven Weinberg: A Nobel laureate in physics, said, “At the moment of this explosion, the universe was about a hundred thousand million degrees centigrade..and the universe was filled with light”. The universe has not always existed. It had a start. What caused that? Scientists have NO explanation for the sudden explosion of light and matter.
The universe operates by uniform, mathematical laws of nature. Our lives may seem uncertain, but day after day we can count on gravity remains consistent, a hot cup of coffee left on the counter will cool. The earth rotates in the same 24 hours, and the speed of light never changes…on earth or in galaxies far from us. All of the sciences..molecular biology, chemistry, physics, astronomy, ect..hing on the consistent laws of nature.
Dr Emily Baldwin, commented, “One of the most important numbers in physics, the Proton-Electron mass ratio, is the same in a galaxy six billion light years away as it is here on earth”. How is it that we can identify laws of nature that never change? Why is the universe so orderly..so reliable..so absolutely perfect? “The greatest scientists have been struck by how strange this is. There is no logical necessity for a universe that obeys rules, let alone one that abides by the rules of mathematics. This astonishment springs from the recognition that the universe doesn’t have to imagine a universe in which conditions change unpredictable from instant to instant, or even a universe in which things pop in and out of existence”. All of our ability to discover, solve problems, create, is made possible by the orderly laws of the universe that never change and can be measured with precision.
Richard Feynman: A Nobel Prize winner for quantum electrodynamics, said “Why nature is mathematical is a mystery..The fact that there are rules at all is a kind of miracle”.
My sister Gail, was my GREATEST TEACHER!! Gail, Loved God. Gail, would read stories from the Bible to me when I would stay over at her house. It was fun to debate an discuss the stories when she was finished. ONE, of the hardest things for me..is knowing I have fallen way behind..Gail, is the ONE person in my world who could bring new and priceless information that I would have never known if it wasn’t for her. I talk to my sister every single day..an nite..absolutely NO CLUE if she can hear me..doesn’t matter..I will never stop talking to her..just in-case..YOU NEVER KNOW!! So until I also leave here for good. I will talk to Gail.
My beautiful sister Gail always told me two very wise things to live by.. Joni, you have to give till it hurts.. Joni, God knows what’s in your heart..
My personal belief is..EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON..THERE ARE NO ACCIDENTS NO SUCH THING AS A COINCIDENCE!!
George Carlin: When asked if he believed in God, he responded, “NO NO, there’s NO God, but there might be some sort of an organizing intelligence, and I think to understand it is way beyond our ability”.
I welcome your thoughts..
There is proof of God everywhere you look. Read the word. That is God speaking to you. Research Christians or children that have died and come back. It is crazy, I had an incredible journey in the hospital. Satan and God fought over me one whole night. I was in bed and just watched in fear that Satan would win. What I didn’t realize then was how powerful my father is. He who is in me is greater than he who is in the world that is Satan and minions. With God all things are possible.
