Is it safe to say that no one will know the real deal for creationism or evolution until we die?

Question

i guess we will either meet our maker or just sleep away. I hope i do not get reincarnated. I beleive in God because things that i have prayed for actually happened...not all but most....coincidence? maybe maybe not.

Answer 1

I'm positive that creationism isn't the real deal. Since scientific theories advance and improve, I'm also pretty sure that evolution theory as we know it today will flesh out a great deal as we learn more. Knowledge is funny that way.

By the way, you can believe in God and evolution. Depends on how literally you want to take the biblical version of God.

Answer 2

No. Evolution however incomplete a theory is simply far and away more believable than literal interpretations of the book of Genesis. I would make the case that they are one and the same, except when genesis was written they did not have the scientific knowledge to explain it, without use of parables. If you were to go back in time with modern knowledge and tried to explain modern concepts to ancient people, is there any likelyhood they would understand. (Even if you were fluent in their language).
There are few cultures in the world untouched by modern culture so it is hard to test. If you travelled up the Amazon to talk to the most remote tribe and you were the first person from the outside, do you think they would be receptive to complex modern ideas? (Actually, come to think of it, I'm not sure they would even buy into a simple idea, such as Creationism).
Incidentally, its most likely that the things that you prayed for would have happened anyway. If you examine them in detail you will find that it was purely coincidence. Unless your prayer subconsciously affected your behaviour and contributed to the events.
Don't worry you are probably not going to be reincarnated - even if you are you'd never know.

Answer 3

I used to believe in the adage that "...you'll know all the truth there is to know about thirty seconds after you die..."

After doing a lot of study and what might be termed as 'soul-searching' I truly believe that there is a HIGH probability that we will know no more after we die than when we are alive.

No one makes you "get reincarnated"--you make this decision on your own...well, really together with your soul and your solar angel...

As far as prayers are concerned I find that it's difficult to discern between whether God is really listening and answering my prayers or whether I have simply created and/or see and experience what it is that you wish to; i.e., as in creating your own reality.

And because of this, I no longer connect 'praying' (or any other form of communion) to my belief in God. I know I am talking to someone, and mostly it 'feels' like I am talking to myself...this is why I engage in other forms of 'communion' rather than the traditional form of prayer. No, I think that prayer is a good thing, and I find it difficult to put myself in a frame of mind where I can "do it right".

Huh?

Well, I see prayer as a form of communication. And as in all forms of communication there needs to be 'sending' AND 'receiving'--and it must a a two-way experience.

For most of us praying is only a 'one-way' convervsation--with us doing most, if not all, of the talking. I'd be like carrying on a conversation with a friend over a telephone where you did all the talking and then said good-bye and hung up without ever listening.

Meaning, it's easy to register the part where I do all the talking, but much more difficult to recognize or hear the voice, message, etc., that comes back to me. Again, I would have to guess that the 'voice' I hear is me or mine more than I would believe it to be from God.

I tend now to mostly use 'seed thoughts' that I 'throw out' into 'the ethers', and wait for answers to my questions to
'come from where ever'--and they do come--from all sorts of unlikely sources/places. It's then up to me to discern the truthfullness (validity, etc.) of the answer, and then if I discern that it is the truth, then I have an obligation to decide and act....

The problem is, is that often we simply see, get and find what we are looking for.

Christians (creationists) have a more profound dilemma than evolutionists. The question “Where did God come from.” I once asked the spirit this question and the conversation went something like this.
“Where did you come from” I asked
“Where did you come from” The Spirit asked me.
I began to discuss the biological origin of my existence.
“You remember all this”? He asked
“Well no I was taught this in biology class.” I said.
“Well there was no one before me to tell me where I came from” he replied. “All I remember was the first thought cogito ergo sum I think therefore I am and the next thought ‘and I am alone’.” “Then I set about to make things ultimately making creatures that I hoped would be companions to me for the rest of my life.”

By the way I have the same prayer experience as you. I have learned to ask for things of no eternal importance to anyone else but things that only God could do and things that are very important to me. Praise eYshua my prayers always go my way up to now.

Answer 5

I believe that God ceated the universe by evolution.

I hope to understand more of the mysteries of the Universe when I pass on

Answer 6

Actually, to those educated enough on the subject, evolution is already known to be how the species developed.

Answer 7

There is no maker nor sleep. There is death.

And I can tell you right now, creationism is as real as santa claus, Zeus, Odin, or Quetzalcoatl. Can you figure out rightnow if santa claus is real?

Answer 8

no, it's not safe to say that you won't know because there is a way to visit the past and the future, recall your past lives, and still be alive to talk about it. It's astral travelling or astral projection. Check it out, it's fascinating. The one thing you lose when you astral travel is the fear of death.

Answer 9

Yup, coincidence. Count yourself lucky.

Answer 10

I don't know. This question may even cease to exist right on the moment of death. I guess it just depends on how much faith (and trust) you have on your religion.
