Re: Did God Invent Us, Or Did We Invent Him
lol, If we do it, we need to have a sequel where man faces off against AI in The Human Wars of Earth .. Or maybe Plearth?
Plearth, if anyone watches George Carlin, is the ultimate goal of Earth. Earth could not create plastic, so humans were made to make plastic and once we make enough of it, the earth will destroy us and absorb all the plastic into itself creating Plearth.

Re: Did God Invent Us, Or Did We Invent Him
I feel like I'm bringing a wet noodle to a gun fight somehow.
But.
For me, watching an hour or more of what the Hubble telescope sees, does wonders for my peace of mind.
I know where I came from, and I know where I will be some day.
It just isn't some place called heaven or hell.
I watched Carl Sagan's Cosmos episode "The Backbone of Night" and I know why man insists on pursuing religion.
I can understand why some need their religion.
But I see it for what it is.
And it doesn't matter if I don't know how old or big the universe is. Or exactly what moment life was created on earth, or specifically how.
It is enough, that I know why religion is here.
And it is enough to know, I will not be able to stop looking, just because of what is written in one of the many books claiming to know.
Some day the person I am, will die. That much I know.
What happens next, it isn't written in any religion's books of teachings.

Re: Did God Invent Us, Or Did We Invent Him
In yesterday's news, a man suddenly spoke and rememebered his family after an accident 10 years ago.
Is 10 years in an institution man's free will or an act of god?

I think they're called comas, but not being a MD I could be mistaken.
I think it pointless to see god in anything I can't currently understand.
I think it just as pointless to blame god for anything I think was harsh or unfair (war, death and famine), as giving god credit for anything nice and generous (seemingly miraculous events).
God is the ultimate placebo. But that is about all god is. |
