I'm open to all this. I love it! Great post. Quite possible.Most people in England may tick the Church of England/ Catholic box on the census, but its really just the club we where born into.I am totally open to the idea that god is real I just don’t believe any religions are real. I like debating with theists who agree religions are man made up. I agree the universe and this planet are amazing. And it seems like it’s too perfect and there has to be some higher power. But we know so little still. Maybe there are other universes? Maybe there was is or will be life around every star eventually. Maybe not as advance as us but maybe more. And maybe the spirit lives on forever after you die. Just seems like wishful thinking to me. But I hope so. These are unknowable things.
So far I see no evidence of god and I don’t believe one exists. Everything can be explained scientifically. What can’t, may never be known. Those gaps aren’t god.
I think most people if pushed would declare themselves either agnostlc if not atheist.
Wholly believe in the christian teaching, but I go on quantum probability not relative certainty. The abrahamic concept of an omnipotent monolithic being as God in Judaism, Christianity & Islam I find totally improbable. Eastern polytheist religion particularly Taoism I find far more convincing.
I do not however go along with the so called evolutionists Universe by accident theory. Far too much evidence of intelligent design to my mind!
I believe that there is some form of intelligent energy I.E. that permeates the universe. In its perfect state in a zero size multidimensional pre big bang quantum state it is perfect. Post big bang to cover the trillions of square miles of relative space it is diluted down to a mathematical intelligence.
So God to my mind is a form of Intelligent Energy.
We know so little. Consider a tardigrade. It can't see outside the drop of water it lives in. It can't see us even though we are giants living right above them. A whale can probably look up and see the stars but they will never look into a microscope and see the moon up close. We can sort of see other galaxies but not up close. Hell, we don't even know if there is life in Europa or if there is a 7th planet out past the meteor belt. It is so far out and so dark there it's hard for us to see it without having the sun as a backdrop.
So I won't pretend to know or say there is no god. I just don't see any evidence that makes me believe there is one. But maybe there is. I don't think it would punish me or care if I believe it exists. I don't even think it cares if you are good or bad. And I don't think that there is a paradise I live in for the rest of eternity just because I believe in it or because I'm a good person. I think that's all just human made up wishful thinking.
