I believe in God because there is no way our Earth and Universe is controlling its self.?

Question

everything like the planets in our solar system are working in perfect harmony to sustain life on earth. Any sort of change would destroy our Earth. There has to be somone at the helm. Whats your views please.

Answer 1

Sure God exists. One simple questions you can ask anyone who does not believe in god is: Who created the initial energy that triggered the Big Bang. Scientists cannot answer this question because they do not know the correct answer, or maybe they know it but theyjust don't want to say it. The only correct explanation is that God created it. And this explains the existence of God. But I think that we, humans should please him for all his work and we should pray to him. But that goes into another debate on which religion we should follow. But just remember something: There is one God who has created everything and it is he we should be thankful to.

Answer 2

Think for a moment about this concept.
What was anything before it was made? nothing? hmm...perhaps something else if there could never be "nothing". Lets pretend there was nothing, for the sake of entertainment. Ok, so already we have drawn a blank. First, we have to examine whether there was "nothing", or some sort of building block to begin with. If there was just "nothing", there is no WAY we will ever come to know what changed that suddenly there appeared something.
So, if there was something, it had to be a tangible thing to build upon- like a rock, or a particle. In this senario, we seem divided in opinion about what occured next.
Simply put, it would have to be that either God formed it all, or he did not, and the cosmos infact did start out of a bang. I support the idea that it was not planned, was random, and it continues to be random. But a bang to me doesnt hold much water, but its possible- mostly because the idea that God "magically" put all this together holds even less water, or really none at all.
We know that there appears to be an end of the universe, because we know it moves. And since it moves, or swirls, the activity we see now is fallout from what had to have been the original process getting going. Therefore, it seems since the universe still keeps moving, it has not been completed in design.
Now- that sounds kinda random to me if theres no God.
So, if God created all this, and its still "going" this way and that, maybe he isn't finished...but the Bible says "...the heavens and the earth were made in 7 days"

Hmm....

Answer 3

The question implies a disbelief in evolutionary processes and a belief in some type of sentience for cosmic entities like planets and stars.

Recent studies suggest that there have been periods of chaotic orbital patterns in the past resulting in our current structure. This period of relative stability for the solar system is probably transient yet is likely to last for the duration of the human race. Of course, all it takes is a close (~ light-year) encounter with another star to cause another bombardment period. However, such an encounter is more due to known physical processes than some deity miscuing a bank shot.

Answer 4

Well our solar system does seem to work pretty well, but you must realize that there are literally countless other solar systems, and galaxies in the universe that do NOT work so well. Regular supernovas, black holes, and the like show that the Milky Way is a very rare outcome to a very random universe. I think we are incredibly lucky to be here. If our solar system's axis rotation were 1 degree different, this planet would be totally uninhabitable. Its amazingly rare, but possible, all on its own.

Answer 5

"But I say unto you, whosoever shall say, 'Thou fool,' shall be in danger of hell fire." Matt 5:22.

In other words, by the implication of your question to the effect that people who don't believe exactly what you believe are somehow people that are foolish by comparison to you with your strong faith, you disobey the commandments of Jesus and submit yourself to at least the danger of Hell Fire.

On your little pink toesies. So be careful, Okay? If you believe what you claim to believe, you are in danger of your own damnation.

As to your specific questions: It isn't a "why" kind of thing. We are here. Get used to it. There is no "why" to it. We just are.

The universe gives cogent evidence of being about 14 billion years old. The universe wasn't "made," in the sense that one "makes" a machine or a souffle. The universe is a process, always becoming. Never new, and old only by comparison to things that don't last very long.

There is strong evidence that there was no "first thing" in the sense that we think of it. We move into a new house, and there is a first thing that we bring into our house. A painting, a table, or a box of books. Not so with the universe. The universe is a process, always becoming. Never new, and old only by comparison to things that don't last very long.

The "big bang" is only one of an array of events that seem to us to have happened a long time ago. "Behold," says the Lord, "I make all things new."

"Creation" is something that people do. The universe doesn't work that way. God doesn't think that way. "Creation" is "People Think."

And please don't imagine that people who don't believe exactly what you believe and scientists are one and the same, or that people who don't believe exactly what you believe are somehow defective. That makes you a person who calls your neighbor a fool, and, in your own religion that places you in danger of hot toesies.

Answer 6

Define the words GOD, Universe, controlling, harmony.

There is a very tricky balance in various constants (eg the charge on the electron) but this is a very complex question. To simply say "therefore I believe in God" is a negation of the attempt to understand the universe.

Answer 7

Actually, the reverse is true.

The balanced laws of physics explain everything around you. Adding God into the equation is hugely problematic - it breaks all of the laws. And we do not observe the laws being broken.

So there cannot be anyone at the helm, or if there is he is not doing and never has done anything. So he may as well not be there.

Answer 8

The formation of the solar system, the reason we revolve around the sun, among a million other natural phenomena, can be explained by science, even the eventual destruction of the earth in 4.5 billion years from the supernova of our sun....so what does a supernatural entity have to do with the laws that are showing our irrerversible trend to disorder and oblivion?

Answer 9

Then you are too easily entertained. In as much as I was not around to see how everything came into being (and neither were you),I say, "I don't know ..... YET!" To assume that some god, my less than intellectual ancestors made up, instantaneously farted the universe into being, is absurd

Answer 10

I think you are doing God a GREAT disservice...

To construct the framework that can allow a Universe to develop within all the narrow limitations is amazing. A Universe that would allow the matter to collect in it without burning out in a swift fizzle, or merely drift as aimless clouds of hydrogen through an empty void.

To allow energy to form matter at all, or to have it so an insignificant balance so that a fraction of it as matter, more than antimatter, is enough to produce the stable environ we live in, is a sign of design that is far uncannily more than intelligent, it is incomprehensible to the human mind.

I can use the instruments of science and logic to probe those building blocks of matter to the point where I can recreate the history of the Universe to the first trillionth of a millionth of a second.... and at no point does it REQUIRE cosmic intervention, divine providence, or cosmic meddling.

At the same time, I can take that Occam's razor, and say, in all honesty, "Beyond this point, we cannot say what the Universe was like." I am perfectly willing for you to insert a Godlike character in that void. Right up to the "Let There Be Light!" line.

But the moment that entity ventures beyond that, closer to our time-line's perception of the Universe as it has occurred, we can point to the rules laid down in that cosmic genesis, and not to some sign of Absolute Power guiding the ongoing flow of the Universe.

If God is all powerful, but invisible, I see no reason to think he could long elude the instruments of rational and meticulous observation. If those instruments can NOT detect him, then the claim he is among us at present is just as valid as the claim he doesn't exist.

If God deliberately evades those searches for analytical proof of divine existence, then the concept of a benevolent and communicative God seems all the more unlikely.

I have nothing tangible to offer a God who can whip off Universes at will that cannot be better expressed in my tolerance and assistance to my fellow humans, and anyone else we might find in this Universe. Supposedly, one of God's kids said something along those lines...or it might have been God, hard to say, depending on whose book your getting the quotes from.

Most of the people who inform me that THEY are in communication with God belong either in a field tending flocks as their ancestors did, or in a straight jacket. Almost all of them claim some empowering authority in enforcing some rules which they say came directly from God, undebatable, uneditable, and unquestionable. Insert more smiting here,,,

If God wants me to drink Coke instead of Pepsi, park on the other side of the street, or take my garbage out on a different day, then can communicate with me as easily as any of these other bearded hairy maniacs. Somehow, I'd like to believe God had the potential to use the word 'please' instead of Thou Shalt Not" - even if you're omnipotent, you can be polite.

I will condone the POSSIBLE existence of a God, to a point, a point a trillionth of a millionth of a second after the Big Bang, and say everything therein needed no intervention, no meddling, no adjusting. We have enough disasters, and self-made smiting for humanity to claim credit for without divine intervention or a cosmic alibi..

If God DOES exist, an awful lot is going to be blamed on It for what has happened, and most of it, I fear, can be traced back to the chaos, the instinct, and the general self-centered wickedness that comes from billions of years of random evolution.

It seems frightening, but not as frightening as a powerful being who plays peek-a-boo through the persona of antisocial maniacs.

If we are in the Universe of a Jealous God, an Angry God, a Proud God, an Envious and Gluttonous God that cannot get enough of us supplicating to Divine Will, well, I see no sign of that in his creation... not after a trillionth of a millionth of a second, at least...

Maybe there's a world around you that, if you feel can be made better, you can do the deed yourself, and not wait for God's assisting intervention. If you wish to tip the hat to God for inspiring you, well, Do As Thou Wilt And Harm None...It's Not Just a Good Idea - it's The Whole of the Law.

It's not like God can't have a good idea... or that you could have the same one.
