Do you think God exists ? If yes, then why ?

>>1671007
Don't know if he exists or not, but just to stay on the safe side I will say he does.

>>1671007

Which God?

>>1671012
Not nessecary Abrahamic God or other religions. Just an Omnipotent Being

>>1671017
*necessary

>>1671017

I subscribe to the simulation theory, yes, I believe that there is an omnipotent being which is a computer. Which is probably also inside a computer. And so on.

>>1671007
The only logical answer anyone can come up with is 'I don't know'.

>>1671007
No, there is no good reason I can see to assume one does

I believe god exists because of how majestic and infinite space is

To conceive that something like the sun or jupiter could just be formed by chance seems ridiculous to be

Also the parallel symmetry of atoms and galaxies, micro to macro levels seems like their is a greater design to life

Well we pretty much know how those objects form, at least in a general sense. Their "beauty" only exists in your head

>>1671051

>we know

m8 we have theories that still need evidential proof

until we show how a sun forms or definitively show the layers and the internal fusion of atoms
its all speculation

>>1671049
Even our bodies are formations of vibrations and particles, but sit in the form of solid mass, and the particles of air into the lungs.

It is amazing how at microscopic levels and scientific explanations, how it all goes together

>>1671051
We also forget to really look at it, even if we process all the information of the objects, we just quickly deny anything outside of our conclusions. The idea that our live, altered in someway by higher life, over time, with knowledge on the necessary elements needed to create and sustain life, all life, it amazing.

cool point

its like how light can be photon packets and wavelengths simultaneously

>>1671062
>m8 we have theories that still need evidential proof
I said we "pretty much know... in a general sense" which we do

>We also forget to really look at it...
I have no idea what you are trying to say

Popsci really is cancer

Some type of superior consciousness, that programmed everything from the start (well, it's possible), but not the god of any of the religions that are presented nowadays.

>>1671007
Yes.

St. Thomas' five ways to start.

>>1671090
Even cosmic masses, are all formed in such a way. The way of things, even outside of their own observed creation, amount to even more all the time.

>>1671110
Science is important, and what is more important is the things it cannot explain. Science can tell us what everything that a plant is, but can never tell us everything about the plant, because they just don't actually know anything about the plant. The could say "plants are not conscious because" when really the plant is sustained by the same source of energy that keeps the human alive.

>>1671009
My god will not punish you for not believing him. But he will punish you for believing another god. What do you do?

>>1671009
>safe side
if the god you worship is nice and humble, you should fear nothing.
>>1671007
Im willing to accept the possiblity of deism. but it doesnt affect my life decisions.

Okay but we don't know who this god is or if he/her/it's "good" or not. I will still believe in whatever is up there, if him/her/it is real, just to be on the safe side as I said before.

I cannot necessarily be a certain atheist, which is why I am uncertain, as the former would imply that I'm somewhat "better" than this thing that created the Earth and all life.

And I don't want to displeasure it in anyway, which is why I don't understand why atheists of certainty would dismiss it/him/her. It's rather foolish to dismiss something you don't know about, which is why you cannot be certain.

>>1671286
Just believing is not good enough, most religions require you to go to religious assemblies, follow religious rituals, and pay a tithe. Surely you would do that to be on "the safe side".

>>1671315
Seen this before. it's pretty shitty
