What if that 99% that is unknowable is God?

The key to this question is the "what if". We all have theories, correct? I just don''t like it when someone else''s is shoved down my throat.

I''''m not even sure of what you are trying to say with this comment.

***, I forgot myself. Sorry.

[robstrck]

fib, science has discovered that roughly 99% of the Universe is unknowable. We as humans in our immediate universe makes up less than one percent. What if that 99% that is unknowable is God?

mjm121, I have a difficulty even understanding what he means too! Honestly.

Science can only prove what it can test continously and get the same results with the exception of a lie called evolution. The spirit world cannot be measured by the pitiful vices of science. Don''''t make God laugh.

Just as ignorant at how Hitler mesmerized and and fooled an entire nation at the expense of Jews. You know he needed someone to blame.

There is just no evidence for that type of thinking genesis15. You are assuming that God exists when that is not a proven fact. In fact, there is not a single shred of scientific evidence to support that supposition.

I guess Burma is a highly religious country of mostly Buddhists.

I am not suggesting, by the way, that if a government is Atheist, that it is automatically more morally sound. Obviously history has shown that not to be true. All sorts of other factors come into play...life and social science are extremely complicated. But there is no logical pathway directly from atheism to murder, whereas with religion - if your God tells you to do something, or you believe your God wants you to do it (9/11), you can think you are doing something good when in fact your are just being a violent moron.

Rarely will you see me stick up for fibonacci...but genesis15...this comment was pretty ignorant

I see it as a positive sign, although the rise of Islamic extremism in a lot of Western European countries is alarming. What do you think robstrck?

I believe that you can''t fight bad religion with no religion. Europe will be devoured.

God despised every last one of these people. We cannot understand why. But God is all-good and all powerful. He especially hated the infants in that region.

**********

God did not despise every last one of those dead from the cyclone. They were not allowed to live as free people. They were kept down by a government that could care less. America had it right when the founding fathers wrote up the constitution. All men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with unalienable rights, Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Those people were denied those opportunities by man.

What God ALLOWS and what God COMMANDS are two different things. I somewhat get the impression that if the latter had happened, there would have been NO SURVIVORS.

Hell, no wonder Hitler came to power. World War I was not necessarily one of your best moments either.

It seems most of Western Europe is becoming increasingly secular. Do you think that is a positive?

genesis15:

One of my best moments?

[genesis15-2009]

Not as much as most countries but still quite a bit. Former East Germany has a very large atheist population, perhaps even a majority. And that is where I am presently living. The chancellors party though, is called the Christlich Demokratische Union Deutschlands (Christian Democratic Union of Germany). Surprisingly, she comes from the East.

[displeased]

I am just irritated by a world governed by irrational superstitions.

Especially when decisions that affect other people''s lives are based on these mythical beliefs.
