Atheist, Agnostics and free thinkers: What is your theory on how we came to be?

Question

As an atheist leaning towards theism, I will tell you my theory on how we came to be. Please don’t ridicule my way of thinking. You are welcome to state your own theories and I will read them (if it’s not an essay)

I DON’T believe there are personal “god(s)” of religion or an afterlife. I believe the universe is our “creator/god” and we’re nothing more but stardust (carbon base life-forms) made from a Supernova or Nebulas (stars are born in nebulas).

I Believe in evolution and the big bang theory because they have pretty much been proven even though some insist it’s not true. To think even farther than that I believe we are merely atoms (if you look at the solar system, galaxy and the whole universe it looks a lot like atoms) of something bigger.

I don’t think this”god(s)” knows we even exist because of the vastness of the universe and we are insignificant.

I believe we are a fluke in the universe.

Tell me the points in which you agree and the points you disagree.

No, I am not turning away from Atheisim, I just think there could be a higher power out there but not "god" of mainstream religion

Answer 1

I agree with everything but the notion of a sentient god / universe.

Edit:

Why would I get a thumbs down for my opinon? ... must have been a christian.

Answer 2

Ambiguity, you are correct! It is far more preferable to believe that all the wide variety of life which we see on this lonely planet, it's all just a mere, lucky, coincidental accumulation of atoms; the accumulation and the ratios of which, however unlikely, have produced sentience, life, and the recoginition of same.

you are likely correct also, in totally dismissing any type of over-ridding, superior being who could have thought this whole universe into existence; ((For if "It" did, then Why hasn't It shown Itself))
and whether or not "god", "God", the Creator, what/whoever, could have foreseen a useful, functioning property such as evolution, should be absolutely disregarded.

many have had this notion which you have, which you've promoted here.
The trouble is, you have every bit as much proof to support your notion, as do any and all believers, in a Creator/God.

Afterall, You, Ambiguity, cannot create anything, can you now? Can you cause a Tree? Can you spawn a planet? Ever try to make a chicken?? Which came first, the chicken, or the egg??
So why imagine that some larger-than-everything spirit could do same??/ if you cain't see it, then it don't exist, do it??

**Of Course, if you are wrong, then my loving, Father-god-creator, would never condemn you to Hell, or some similar nasty spot, since He would love you so much, far more than I or you, in all of your appearant infinite wisdom, could ever know, or imulate.

**Merry Christmas, Ambiguity~! May the joy of the season, of the wonder of the whole thing, someday strike you giddy and foolish, like it did Ebenezer Scrooge. Good-night...

Answer 3

My views on how the world was created change every day. If any human knew the whole truth about how the universe was created, don't you think that the human would go insane? It is difficult for many people to think of a universe outside of our universe, so imagine how astonished someone would be to find that out. Notice that some people have gone mad over secrets they have discovered. These secrets can often be the simplest things, and in our galaxy, a simple thing is smaller than the eye can see, in a matter of speaking.
So yeah... you just made me think of this by asking this question. Aside from that, your theory is fine, if that's the way you want to see our world.

Answer 4

The only theory I have personally is that all the material was created... after that I have no idea. Though I do believe that evolution is correct... I don't use this theory the way some do... as in, a way to "prove" that any religious view is false. Evolution doesn't do this, in a scientific way. Science doesn't seek to prove or disprove a God(s). I don't believe we are insignificant... but I don't believe we are so important as to have an innocent man die for everyone either. I don't think we are flukes, but, as I said, we aren't THAT damn important in the scheme of things. There is balance to all things in life and all things should be considered just as important as we would like to view ourselves. We aren't above nature... we are a part of it.

Answer 5

Let's see:

I believe in higher beings and another state of being after you "seem to die" on this planet; also there is a chance that life as we see it here is only an illusion

I believe in evolution...to an extent (but I'll save the alien theory for another time) and I haven't really checked on the big bang theory so I don't know about that one;

I think "god" is found in all of us; ever hear the saying "to understand god is to understand nature"

I believe there are other dimensions and through our mind we can reach other dimensions or the Earth itself will go through a dramatic change

Answer 6

i'm a Christian and seem at myself a 'loose logician' (even nonetheless that element era now has some anti-non secular connotations linked to it today). First, i don't have faith that my ideals are one hundred% maximum appropriate, i'm constantly prepared to confess that there are some errors in my ideals, for without that i might desire to in no way learn and advance. yet, with each and every of the recommendations that I even have examined I firmly have faith that the Christian recommendations of God and guy are the main suitable and carry no absolute contradictions. i attempt to be logical in my ideals in that I refuse to hold 2 contradictory ideals on the comparable time. yet i'm additionally open to the thought i'll no longer recognize each and every of the information on some circumstances, such with the aid of fact the "loose will vs determinism debate wherein the two factors have considerable logical arguments, and as such I might desire to take a seat down on the fence and understand that i do no longer and specific won't be able to recognize each and every of the information. on the greater pragmatic section, the Christan worldview enables morals, purpose and ideology that make existence plenty less difficult, non violent and happy while understood and practiced as Jesus defined them. My apologies for the guy you by surprise met, that's greater a symptom of immature human nature than of any specific concept equipment. in case you have been to seek, you will possibly desire to discover there are some followers of Christ who're recognize-how and nonjudgmental yet nevertheless can articulate or maybe project others in a spirit of love and recognize.

Answer 7

The answer is simple, if you think that computers or airplanes don't assemble itself, why would you expect the universe and life to come about by itself since the universe and life are both more complex than airplanes or computers.

The Fact of the matter is all matter is deception, it is not completly absolute, it is finite and has limitations. Your physical body is nothing more than a temporary rental.

Answer 8

I am confused. From what I've read, you are far from leaning towards theism. Please clarify if you are thinking of turning away from atheism? I am a believer in science such as the big bang, evolution, and everything in between. I am an atheist but I believe there is a strong force out there so I am also spiritual.

Answer 9

I think 'god' knows us only in the state 'we' were in before the universe began -- completely formless, 'no thing', no personality, no body, just One. And that all this form (universe, bodies, etc.) is just a projection of this One thing and is really just an illusion. Of course, it's mostly perceptual for me at this point but I have had some milestone experiences that rattled by steadfast belief in the reality of the self I think I am.

Answer 10

It's a very neutral agnostic view. There is nothing subject to challenge by evidence. Depending on what sensory capacities you ascribe to a universal sentient being, the 13.7 billion years of the universe may counter the expanse. There is no way to distinguish among ignorance, seeing us as insignificant, observing us with interest, and making subtle changes. My agnostic leanings are more theistic.

Answer 11

I believe there is a Creator (or God) who created the universe, probably via the Big Bang. Life arose on earth due to chemical processes and progressed via evolution. I do not know whether the God intervened in this or not, and I do not know if God even knows we exist or not. Regardless, I do not believe in a "personal" God.
