I have this conversation with my dad. He thinks anyone who thinks this all happened by itself is dumb, and I think it's dumb to assume it's a God. Now remember long before moses people debated this. Lots of good arguments like everything created needs a creator. But not the creator? This is why I believe the universe is eternal and it is living. You can call it god but i dont think it has any of the attributes written in the book of mormons, old or new testament or koran.Why do you have to have existed in some capacity before your dad's sperm hit your mom's egg? Re incarnation is so silly. I think this has to do with people having a hard time imagining the universe will continue without you just like it did before you were born.
What happens to the soul a monkey has? They have emotions too.
Think about how someone pulls out before ejaculations. Had he came inside her she would have got pregnant and birthed a human animal that would grow to ponder these thoughts. But that person will never exist and did not exist in a previous life
I really don't know anything that I haven't experienced. But I'm open to all possibilities such as just going black and not existing.
I can't prove there is a place called heaven no more than you can prove no such place exists. To me, either or is a possibility. But I can't sit here and claim without hesitation that there is such a place. How would I know unless I've actually been there, or know somebody who has?
I have an uncle that swears he was reincarnated. He seems to have this vivid memory of being shot, and then loaded into a vehicle of some sort, and dying after they closed the door.
we exist because a star exploded. What created the star that exploded? Who knows. What created the universe? We don't know. Maybe there are infinite universes.
So the day people stop believing God visited hundreds or thousands of years ago, that's when I'll be OK with people believing in something greater than self.
Muslims kill because God told Mohammad... Christians discriminate against gays because God said...Mormons wear magic underwear because God told Joseph Smith.....
