Want some more proof that God and Religion is just man-made nonsense?

Question

Imagine you’ve just been launched into space, you look back and watch the Earth through a rush of clouds turn into a beautiful blue green and white coloured ball. Seems so peaceful, how could such an inspiring serene picture be home to so many violent selfish greedy human residents.

The hours pass and Earth turns into an ever reducing multi-coloured little marble, and all around is darkness pitted with twinkling white stars. You strain your eyes and watch Earth disappear into a barely visible flicker of light, and still all around is just darkness pitted with twinkling stars.

You fall asleep and when you awaken everything looks the same. Darkness scattered with distant stars. You’re lost, you have no idea where Earth is, up down, left right, Earth has gone for good. Everything is just darkness and stars in every direction you look.

Now ask yourself, do you really believe that violent life on some planet that you’ve no idea where it is, has the answer to everything around you?

Answer 1

Excellent - top marks for an ace question. Mind you be prepared for the bible pushers to have their say

Answer 2

You have a nice story. But sorry it won't suffice as an argument. Religion is not about having all the answers to everything around you, neither is God. However, if you awoke on some desolate plane other than Earth...I have 2 guesses:

Seeing that your scenerio is hypethetical...
1. You may realize that you did not make yourself. You did not evolve from a monkey or some sort of primate. If you did, why didn't the other evolve? Why didn't the bacteria around you slowly take shape? While it was evolving and taking shape, when it reached the 1st writable phase, why didn't it document the change?

2. You may wake up in some empty plane and realize that your mind is pretty much free. Eventually you will do either good or bad. Good or evil perhaps. In your cerebral cortex, you will conclude that something greater than yourself may be at work. Then, maybe GOD will show himself through an action, reflex, or spiritual happening that will make you say to yourself that somehting powerful is at work.

Thank You.

Answer 3

No, the violent life on this planet has no answer for anyone. It is nothing. It is a passing wind, it is grass that dries up and withers.

I love this question because it is so true. In the vastness of space the petty squabbles on this planet are meaningless. I get this feeling when I gaze up at the stars on the beach at night. That I am so small and the universe is so vast. My troubles are so temporary, so fleeting.

There is a verse in the bible that says:
"Surely the nations are like a drop in a bucket;
they are regarded as dust on the scales;
[God] weighs the islands as though they were fine dust."
- Isaiah 40

God has the prespective you are talking about - the vile, violent crimes of the human race are a blip on the radar of eternity.

Yet at the same time, he loves us so much he sent Jesus to come to this earth and suffer for us. God has no reason to be concerned with the chaotic mess that we've created, and yet he loves us! Can you believe it?

Answer 4

Nice writing. I have to admit, though, that question made absolutely no sense. The Earth isn't supposed to have all the answers, God is. And as someone who isn't religious (I'm spiritual, and educated in different religions) I believe that it's called 'faith' for a reason. No one knows for sure, but it just depends if you believe or not. Maybe man did make up all the different religions that started the wars of the world - that doesn't mean that there isn't a God, it just means that we're not listening to Him.

And as a human being, I rather put my faith, love, trust, and ideals into some possibly imaginary man in the sky versus some guy who spends his afternoons trying to throw down other people's beliefs.

It takes a lot of courage and bravery to stand up and say you believe in something that nobody can prove.

However, it's pure cowardice to try to tear down someone else's courage.

Get a life - and go read a book so you'll stop being so ignorant.

Answer 5

It's not necissarily proof, but it is a nice hypothesis.

Although it's probably not directly stated in the Bible (to my knowledge) I do get the impression that most Christians feel that Earth is the center of everyting in the universe, and that nothing else matters outside of the happenings on that planet. Take, for instance, the "Apocalypse". All the events listed as "signs of the Apocalypse" happen on Earth. Why not on Mars, or one of the seemingly infinate other planets? Because the Bible was written by humans, not God, and the humans who lived on earth didn't know of the happenings or events on other planets.

Therefore, one can reasonably assume that Christianity was made up by humans. I don't necissarily agree with this statement, but to each his own.

Answer 6

Wow, that really proved your point, well done. Though I would agree with you that religion is nonsense, (though I am a proud Catholic, I view my religion as an elite organization that excludes others, which makes me feel good about myself) I do not think that God is nonsense, the bible and jesus most likely are, but not God. God is a word that can mean different things to different people. I do not believe that he is the overseer and creator of all mankind, but I do believe that there was a supernatural force or "God" at work when considering the creation of the universe as a whole. So though most would associate the word God with Christianity, Islam, or any other sect of faith, I view it as an all encompassing term for all supernatural and unexplainable phenomena.

Answer 7

This isn't an argument against theism per se, but against the narrowness, blindness, and ignorance of traditionally received forms of theism.

And I'll ask you: on what basis do you assert that the vast reaches of space are uninhabited by sentient beings? There are 11-billion-year-old planets out there. What might evolution achieve after 11 billion years? I'm willing to bet there are hyper-evolved beings cruising around the ether, having replaced their original organic matrices. I'm willing to be there are sentient beings whose sense awareness encompasses entire galaxies. There could be, there could be not -- how do you know the universe is an empty, black void? You don't; it's a presupposition that tells me a lot about your a priori assumptions, and precious little about the universe we inhabit.

Grow up, and get a little more intellectually humble.

Answer 8

I would think that being far out into space is proof that God does exist, because in the midst of all that darkness, there are still stars and other celestial formations all around, and Jesus is the Light in the darkness. I might just feel closer to God being that far away from all the distractions of life and the world.

Answer 9

Religion is certainly man's often misguided attempts to understand God, but the existence of the Creator has nothing to do with religion.

If you doubt the existence of the Creator you need to brush up on your Quantum Physics. Recent scientific discoveries not only prove the existence of the Creator, but show him/her to be more magnificent than we had previously imagined.

God is everything there is and there is nothing that is not God.

Laboratory results have demonstrated that matter is formed from a field of energy that permeates all creation when acted upon by consciousness. The observer collapses the probability wave function into "reality". Consciousness did not arise from matter, matter is formed by consciousness. Consciousness and energy existed before matter, and work together to form matter.

This leads to the natural questions, whose consciousness and what is the source of energy? The answer is God.

You're presence here is in itself proof of the existence of the Creator. You are made not only BY the Creator, but OF the Creator and exist in a highly detailed holographic overlay that cloaks the true reality of oneness. Not only is God more divine than we ever imagined, but that divinity is within each of us.

Answer 10

You ask a perfectly wonderful question and even give an excellent reason for the question and these nuts can't see that you are right on the money!!!! Small minds can't see very far.

You have answered one of my "WHY" questions that I have asked for more than 50 years. Thank you so much.

After reading the answers thus far I can see I was right, Mya Belle, who said he didn't believe in God? Fantasy Girl, you are so right. Can't you people use some brains to answer these questions or are they just out of your reach? Can't you just try to comprehend the question? There you have it, the person who said "there are more believers than thinkers" was so right.
So many stupid answers to a wise question.

Answer 11

The bible says that his truth is light that travels through darkness. No matter where you are lost even in space, his light can find you. Your perception of reality will not change the fact God exist.

However religion is an invention of man. That you can poke holes in all day long.
