You think the human race is an incredible fluke of chemical reactions or the product of divine creation?

Meself, I tend towards Christianity but a fairly loose interpretation. Still firmly believe in evolution etc.

Go with evolution but suspect certain events throughout history may have sped that whole process up from time to time. kinda like chernobyl but obviously not man made. this planet must have been 'livable' for quite some time to allow evolution to get us to where we are. divine intervention? don't think so. the whole god vs alien (not to be confused with pred v alien) debate is another intersting one. sorry for the ramble.
yo, if aliens made this planet livable who made their planet livable? Some other aliens?

You got to wonder if this is it or is there something else. I have had a couple of strange ghost type experiences which can't be explained so I do live in hope that the journey continues after this. Be a tad pissed off if you work all your life then get sick and die and then thats it.

have been readen a fair bit into it lately, books like A Short History of Time by stephen hawking.

It's funny, its a science book but the laws and concepts it lays out - including the creation of the universe - seem to me to suggest the possibility of a creator.

Or to put it another way, certainly doesn't rule out the possibility of one.

Are we the result of an incredibly long series of chemical and then genetic chance-manipulations, each step along the way being near enough to a mathematical impossibility.

I don't think so.

Is there a God?

I believe I have experienced the presence/aura of some divine non-physical being out there.

Whom do I worship?

Nobody and nothing. My god has sufficient self-respect such that he/she not only doesn't need to be worshipped, but he/she thinks that anyone who prostrates themselves before another being, even a divine one, is a toadying suck-up, not worthy of respect.

Is Jesus God? Come on people, think about it? If it walks like a man, talks like a man, eats and smells like a man, it was probably a man.


P.S. the use of 'avatar' in internet terminology is a particularly egregious bastardisation of a word, as bad as using the word 'surf' to describe wasting time on the 'net.


Bless you all!

God's a bit of a misused Divinity, I reckon.

For a Being who's remained utterly and enigmatically silent throughout the course of human history, there certainly seems to be a s**tload of people who know what God would like us all to be doing.

Bring on the second Enlightenment.

I pretty much dislike all religion - too many people around the world using it as an excuse to treat each other badly.

I worship those that don't worship anyone, for having the confidence and strength to make their own decisions and think for themselves.

im not a practising christian or anything like that.
i believe we all became just from a natuaral evolution. Where that started, i don't know, but i don't need to make up a 'GOD' to explain it.
Some things are better left unexplained. But then again other people find happiness with their god, so im certainly not against the concept.

Will we ever find out? well im not willing to waste my whole life to find out. Live your life now :)
