atheists aren't seeking God, but they believe in 'something'. science isn't seeking God either. but i believe science and God are integrated. is that okay?

2006-09-18 19:34:34 · update #3

i'm not saying , believe in one religion, but that we as humans are trying to get through this life as best as we think we can. i guess satanism would be okay if you really felt so.

Atheists are seeking God if he (it) exists. Science can and is used to prove things thought not to exist, or unproven to exist, actually do exist.

If God is out there, atheists (scientists) will find him (it).

I am an atheist and it would tremendously please me if science found evidence to support God belief so we could settle the argument.

But, there is currently no such evidence available which reinforces your assertion regarding "getting along." I do not agree there is a "spiritual evolution." But, since no one can prove their claims, why not drop the dogma and promote the positives of a person's religion or beliefs?



Scientifically speaking, you are correct. Everything in the universe is made of the same "stuff," including dirt, rocks, veggies, animals of all kinds or whatever.

"Matter" does not exist. "Matter" is energy configured in different arrangements but it is the same stuff on a subatomic level. And is the equivalent to tiny (subatomic) universes.

Yes that would be nice . But the children of God are still out playing King of the Hill with each other. Don't know if we will ever grow up enough to stop this game.
AS we all share this planet what effects one effects all. Even if GO did give us Dominion over the plants and animals.It was for the healing of nations not to play some dangerous game . We can only push this world so far before we start suffering the consequences. As it is we are living on half the oxygen that our ancestors lived on due to over deforestation.

Sure I'll agree there is a sliver of good in some religions. But being "good" won't account for squat when it comes to saving your soul. My God is unchanging. I prefer Him that way. We are going through a spiritual awakening alright. God is separating the wheat (believers) from the chaff (unbelievers) even as we speak. My God is huge. He's a Big and Awesome God. There is none like Him. All the heavens can fit in the palm of God's hand; the earth and the seas are measured in the hollow of his hand. That is a huge sovereign God. No, I don't think I'll compromise His Word so I can placate some false religion and false gods. Nope, thanks, but no thanks.

Many of the different faiths attempt to explain the past.
Christian faith in the Word of God is the only one that explains the future, event for event.

My text says that a man will arise out of the political spectrum in the last generation and combine all the worlds religions and governments into one.

The influence of lets all be together is already being pushed in the world. In fact it is already here. Beware!!!

Praise Jesus!

I agree with you, and your Native American earth based belief system is what got me away from the dogma of Christianity.
As long as man/women lessons to their ego's and not their own heart there is going to be turmoil. Not many know to lesson and connect with ones true heart is to hear the creator. But alas ego runs supreme for the time being. I hate to admit it as stated above it is going to get worse before it gets better, and hopefully this time human civilization will learn the lesson.

I agree but you have the right to know that God said
"Say: we believe in God and in what has been revealed to us, and what was revealed to Abraham, Isma'il: Isaac, Jacob and The Tribes, and in (the Books) given to Moses, Jesus and the Prophets, from their Lord: We make no distinction between one and another, among them, and to God do we bow our will (in Islam)." (Qur'an, Al-Imran 3:84)
which means GOD Book is made of three chapters: The Old Testament, The new Testament and Quran as a conclusion all originated from the middle east. How can you understand GOD LAWS with out reading GOD Conclusion?

Atheists aren't seeking god.
No, science and god are not integrated. They seek to explain the same concepts, but go about it in completely different and contradictory ways.
People, plants, bugs, animals and stars are one? What do you think that means? We're all separate. We're made of different things, we think different things, we are entirely different.

No, we are not all seeking God. What most in organized religions are seeking these days is power and dominion. From where I sit, it doesn't appear that most care who the butcher along the way as long as they get the power the covet.

God is God, what ever name we want to assign to him.

There is a story of several blind mice who went out one day to discover what an elephant is like. Each one touches a different part, but only one part, such as the side or the tusk. Depending upon where they touch, they believe the elephant to be like a water spout (trunk), a fan (ear), a pillar (leg), etc.

I compare this to many wise men who went soul searching to learn what God is like. As great & wise as these men were, they were like blind mice compared to the greatness of God. Each came away with a different perspective of God. And many different religions were started from these different perspectives. Neither are totally wrong, neither are completely right.

God is God, what ever name we want to assign to him.
