I know how I got here, but how did you?

Question

I would really love to hear your explanation. How can something living come from anything that's not. How can we feel love, compassion, forgiveness...or even jealousy, hate, envy? How can anyone look at their child, friend, partner or even a stranger and not believe in a creator? I'm not looking for an argument, or a whole lot of intellectual psychobabble, and I don't want to hear from someone who knows how to play with words and simply likes to stand on a soapbox. I just want to know what you truly believe. Thanks.

Answer 1

Answer 2

"How can something living come from anything that's not."

I don't know, this is currently being studied by scientists. I think it's wrong to make up an explanation for the unknown.

"How can we feel love, compassion, forgiveness...or even jealousy, hate, envy?"

With our brains. I haven't studied the brain so I don't have an in-depth answer for you.

"How can anyone look at their child, friend, partner or even a stranger and not believe in a creator?"

The same way I look at a chair, a bottle, or a mountain without believing in a creator. I look at a person and don't believe in a creator just like you look at a person and believe in a creator.

There were two living cells from two living donors which combined. Those cells, encoded with the necessary information, multiplied and began to specialize. At some point in the process, perhaps when a brain was formed, a soul was chosen from the Summerlands to be reborn. Thus I am here. I hope to gain the most I can from this life to benefit my next one.

Thanks for the opportunity to share.

Answer 4

Emotions are the result of brain activity that is unrelated to "spirits" or supernatural events of any kind. I'm not a neurologist and how brain cells function is far beyond my ability to explain. But, emotions have nothing to do with "God did it." They are directly related to electrical impulses in the brain that are measurable and controllable to an extent.

The universe has always existed, it was not "created" out of "nothing.' How different life forms evolved is still under investigation and there are no conclusive answers.

Since supernatural entities, "God(s)," do not exist in fact, it is highly unlikely (and illogical based on the creationism gobbledygook they call a theory) that "God did it."

Answer 5

I'll tell you how I got here: my parents screwed. Who knows what really happened? My theory is that a massive cocktail olive exploded to form the universe, and eventually, pieces of the olive clumped together into sandwitch nebulas, which are nebulas made of sandwitches. Over time, blueberry pies began to orbit the sandwitches, and the gravity from the pies pulled hydrogen atoms out of the sandwitch nebula. Then, the hydrogen started to clump together and started nuclear fusion, and all stars are actually pieces of hamburger left by German spaceships from Holland.

Answer 7

Fornication by my parental units created the bi-product of me.

We did not come from nothing - there was an egg and some sperm and together they formed a splitting cell that formed a fetus that formed a baby and that baby became me.

But, I attribute all of that to the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM). All hail the FSM!

Answer 8

I got here because God let my mother's reproductive cell meet with my father's reproductive cell. I'm the only good thing that happened during their marriage, so I know God had a hand in it.
I see the Lord God's work all around me. My children, my husband, myself, just life in general. And I can't imagine living without that knowledge. My biggest question is how can anyone live without knowing that someone DID all of this wonderful stuff, and that someone (satan) also did all this not-so-wonderful stuff?
God bless you !!!!

Answer 9

i'm just glad you're here to make the world seem like a better place.
cause and effect has to begin. the beginning cannot be caused.
gunas acting on gunas.
it's all an illusion.
all our true, non-material entities put together are one and the same being.
what our senses percieve is not real
they percieve illusion
so they cannot percieve the cause you seek, for that cause is within you and everyone and everything in the universe.

Answer 10

I believe in one and only creator who is Allah the Almighty. Allah the Almighty is so powerfull that he can do anything that he wants to do.
In Quran, Allah the Almighty says;
When Allah intend to do something or creat something he just says 'come into existance' and it comes.
In Quran Allah the Almighty invites people to think logically and prudently.
he says in Quran 'See the skies, do you see any patch in these, see again and again, your sight will return to you hopsless'
Allah the Almighty mentions in quran 'This is Allah who give you life then childhood and youth and then brings you to old age similar to childhood'.
There are so many signs to ponder over.If a person thinks neutrally he will certainly recognise the one and only creator who is Allah the Almighty.
Note' quotations from quran are not word to word translation but to give summerised meaning. please refer to quran for exact translation.

Answer 11

I came from my parents. They are both living, so how couldn't they create something living? My bf, children and even strangers also came from their parents. I'd say my friends too, but I don't have any. People reproducing doesn't equal god.
