This Question is for atheists and other non believers, or even believers for that matter...?

Question

Ok I had an answer to a question I asked mention that they have looked to the atomic world and have found no god. If an atom is made up of smaller particles and those particles are made of even smaller particles and so on isn't it possible that size is limitless. and if so is it also possible that our world, our universe is just a part of one of these particles and is it also possible that those who are looking at the atomic level to find god are looking in the wrong direction? is it possible that god is so big that we can't see him or her? I mean when one is standing at the very foot of a large mountain one cannot see the top so we cannot know if someone is there or not. also if god is made up of pure energy and energy cannot be seen unless there are particles attatched like with light being both wave and particle wouldn't that also pose a problem to finding god with our eyes?

Answer 1

I personally think we only know enough about God to get us through this life. And I think God is almost amused at how smart we think we are when we tell each other about limitations we perceive to be true. As science gets better, we learn more and then we think we know it all. And it goes on in this cycle. Yet, the Bible has been around for thousands of years and tells us many of the same things we are just "learning" from archeology and science. That was a really roundabout way of saying: Yes, I think it is very possible that we are simply missing God's presence because we have not yet "learned" how to find Him!

Great question - great point.

Be blessed!

Answer 2

Anything's possible. The fact that we haven't seen God yet doesn't prove that we never, ever will. It might be incredibly unlikely, but it's always a possibility.

The reason some people don't believe in God isn't because "we've looked everywhere and he's not there!"; that's clearly absurd, as we haven't yet observed the overwhelming majority of the universe. Appealing to an incredibly big God isn't even necessary; we could just as easily appeal to one who's, say, hanging out in a distant galaxy, or even just one who's hiding in some remote underwater cave we haven't yet explored. Clearly we haven't observed everywhere, and clearly we never can.

... But is that reason to believe in God, in itself? Of course not: the fact that we haven't observed unicorns doesn't prove that we'll never observe them in the future, yet that, in itself, doesn't give us reason to believe in unicorns. As I mentioned above, anything's possible; believing in something solely because it's a possibility, without taking into account its probability, leads to an arbitrary and inconsistent belief system. So, the real question you should be asking isn't "Is it possible that God is so big that we can't see him or her?", but rather "Is it likely that God is so big that we can't see him or her?" The answer to the first question is "yes", but the answer to the second question is "no".

Answer 3

Size is not limitless. The Planck length appears to be the smallest limit to size in our universe.

I never heard of anyone looking for god at the atomic level, sounds awfully silly to me.

As for it being possible that god is so big we can't see him, isn't it also possible that he doesn't exist? You are basically coming up with another way to explain why he is completely "invisible" to all of our senses. Nothing new there. I'll follow the invisible pink unicorn, thanks.

Answer 4

i have had similar ideas. all things are made of molecules and atoms. would the sun and the planets be like a giant atom? What a fun speculation that could be. it's limitless. At last i have found a fellow wierdo. MGB swindled

Answer 5

The problem with this theory, or indeed with any theory of god, is that is useless: it is irrefutable, and it can be proved that any irrefutable theory has no predictive power. So, even if it were true, there would be no point in believing it, or indeed in paying any attention to it, for literally nothing could be gained by doing so.

Answer 6

Interesting question. Most religions would have you beleive that a human spoke to an infinte god and Im sorry but I cant take that seriously.

Answer 7

I doubt it. We're pretty sure nothing gets smaller than quarks and gluons, for one, and the universe on large scales isn't held together by the same forces as the universe at small scales. I think if you have to think of something so abstract for your god to be, it's pretty unlikely it exists at all.

Answer 8

i've got basically had one atheist pal in my existence, and basically some agnostics/ non-non secular theist varieties, or non-Christian believers. maximum folk of my pals and relatives (the two now and for the era of my existence) are Christians. a number of them do no longer understand i'm an atheist, yet maximum do. I hardly argue faith with them, in spite of the certainty that I incredibly have had a chum or 2 who enjoyed it, and would desire to take heed to me out without dropping their tempers. yet I under no circumstances get mad whilst pals and relatives share their ideals and thoughts approximately God with me. i'm fairly used to it. i replaced into raised as a Christian in a rustic ruled via Christians, after all. I basically get mad whilst human beings attempt to coach me right into a Christian. it incredibly is hectic. i do no longer attempt to persuade human beings to become atheists (different than perhaps on R&S, yet under no circumstances exterior of here), and that i basically ever argue God if the different individual desires to. I admire their theory, I basically prefer them to admire my non-theory. actually, i've got hardly had problems with pals and relatives.

Answer 9

the christians are the ones most likely to disagree with oyu on this one because it robs them of their interactive judgy hateful god that they love to threaten people with

Answer 10

Yes God is energy, as i believe...cuz energy is the root of creation...of everything...e=mc2
