Religion & Spirituality - 19 October 2007

When you die, your brain ceases to function, but not for a few hours. In this time it is said that hallucinations are possible, EX: NDE's. Do you suppose we create our own afterlives? Do you suppose that whatever it is we are expecting after death is what we receive? This would explain those who experience nothing, while others have severely religious experiences. Reality is subjective to perception. Our minds cannot tell the difference between what is seen with our eyes and the eyes of our minds. Could we actually create our own heaven or hell?

And of course, here comes another cultural curiousity point on my part ---> What exactly is a Hell House?

Is it like a Haunted House? And if so, why do i always hear it associated with churches.

How is it sane for a Christian to believe that he is going to heaven by virtue of the circumstances of his birth? If you are raised in a non-Christian culture how is it possible to "come to Jesus"?

So, HAPPY BIRTHDAY dearest!!

Cause this is one of the puritan beliefs, and I'm just not understanding it.
If you are born a sinner, no chance at converting unless you commit no sins in your life, (WHICH IS PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE.) then how can you hope to go to heaven? Wouldnt it just mean that your born a slug, raised a slug, and die as a slug?

They have also sacrifice their life for their cause(whether its good or bad) and also it needs a lot of courage to do that.
Everyone cannot do that including me.

We've all seen those impressive calculations by Fred Hoyle and heard Emile Borel's infinite monkeys argument. I was wondering just how valid those arguments were.

Based on what I've read, there are several problems with them, and I was wondering if any Creationists could explain why, in light of those problems, the arguments are still sound.

Here's the list of problems:

1) They calculate the probability of the formation of a "modern" protein, or even a complete bacterium with all "modern" proteins, by random events. This is not the abiogenesis theory at all.

2) They assume that there is a fixed number of proteins, with fixed sequences for each protein, that are required for life.

3) They calculate the probability of sequential trials, rather than simultaneous trials.

4) They misunderstand what is meant by a probability calculation.

5) They seriously underestimate the number of functional enzymes/ribozymes present in a group of random sequences.

A lot of us have spouses, fiances, or other significant others here. And a whole lot of us flirt. It's just innocent joking and playing around for the most part. What do you think? At what point does it become inappropriate? If your significant other were to read everything you say on here, how would he/she respond?

I find it hilarious that people actually donate money to stupid Religious telethons on Television.
It basically proves that money has more influence on making the world go 'round than God.
I understand why people donate to their own local Church, but it should end there.
Where is the money going that these people make from telethons.. they dont even freakin tell you.

Some people are just stupid.

"A watch, computer, and car have a lot of order and were all designed. Therefore everything that has order also has a designer."

How does one justify this conclusion from this premise?

why are so many convinced that people are using science to disprove god? isn't there more incentive in scientifically proving that god does exist than trying to prove god doesn't exist?

or even better, they find us, should we convert to their religion based mainly on the fact that they have superior technology, and the fact that they may actually have the technology to see their creator?
Would you convert?
Or would you try to convert them?
Or even better, would you just nuke them for not having your own beliefs?
