Food For Thought Questions of God and The Universe

[rickolasnice]

I disagree with this point. To say science doesn't also require faith is completely bogus... how many of us have personally attempted to prove or disprove the theory of relativity? What about any other major theories/ scientific "facts?"

We believe what we read in scientific journals, simply because of the word "scientific." It requires faith in science; men in white lab coats are becoming the new clergy. Contrary to popular belief, science can lie. Variables are constantly manipulated to prove the point the scientist wants to prove. We know little more about the "big questions" than we used to; in a way, science is just making things more complicated.

Sometimes when studying complex scientific ideas I believe more in a divine being. How could something like evolution produce such a complex system, such as the human eye, starting from what was once a single celled organism?

To a certain extent, reading scientific journals etc does require some level of faith.. but it's more a faith in the human race.. Especially when you bring in peer reviews.

And seriously? You don't believe in evolution. The complex system of an eye took millions of years.. Starting with photo-sensitive cells, adding in a lense and then an apateur pupil..

If evolution isn't real.. why do we have vestigial genes?

There is also evidence through observation:

And you only have to look through the fossil records to see an almost step by step of one animal evolving into another.

1. If we are created in the image of God or the Universe and in the image created we die, does this not mean the Universe will die as well?

the universe is a fractal, and the time dimension is circular in nature (like the ouroboros snake) when viewed from the multiverse.

Is God/ the Universe aware of its inevitable end and knows when it will occur? Or are they ignorant to their eventual demise,with only the subjects they created in their image aware of the impending doom?

there is a "burden of nescience" and burden of omniscience (think of it like this... if you realized you were dreaming, you could control your dream as you please, but not every bit of it at every time... wherever your dream strays, that is the "free will" of that universe)

Is there really a discernable difference between the religious concepts of God vs. the scientific concepts of the Universe,or are all the differences simply created by religion?

science has yet to effectively extend into the other dimensions, schizophrenia, or parasomnias

Could differences in religious views involving God vs. metaphysical views of the Universe be the same or different when it comes to the concept of where you venture after death? With the Universe recycling the energy from our soul back into it, melding the energy back into its perpetual engine,or do we literally go to a "Heaven" or "Hell"? Or possibly recycled back into the Universe but into a different dimension that we perceive as "Heaven" or "Hell"

all of the above

Are Religion,Science,Metaphysics,Philosophy, and Psychology not all the same things, with the same ideas and theories,just with each one worded differently? Also, is Spirituality any different than these other concepts? Why or why not...

just different angles of the same multidimensional vibration

What's a "god"?

in the multiverse, all of our consciousnesses are connected. God is sort of like a circuit, a set of programs, that keeps everything running properly. sometimes He manifests himself in the 3D flesh, we call these guys prophets.
