I wonder at the man who observes the Universe created by God and doubts His Being and Existence?

Question

evidence is all around you if you care to see J.P

Answer 1

First man serves God happily, and then he envies God, and finding that he cannot become as great as God, his envy increases. This increased envy propels the man to defy God, and in his defiance, he is punished. God's punishment angers the man. Finding no solace in his anger, he blames God. Finding no means to punish God, the man dismisses Him. Having dismissed God, man thinks himself to be God. Thinking himself to be God, man attempts to be the controller of all he sees. When he realizes the limit of his control, he falls into dispair. In this dispair, he observes the universe in wonder, at how it came to be. Knowing himself to be small and powerless, in this humble condition he once again recognizes God.

Whether we are falling, or getting up from a fallen position, eventually we come to our knees.

Answer 2

See this: man has free will, so I guess that angels also have free will. It there is going to be any correlation of time and space between man and angels, then this a tremendous one.

Let us imaging that we are the heavenly beings, God and Angels, let us imaging that something happens like a revolt or something like that, so this problem would take a definite time to resolve, but then considering that the man is involved, being the man fallen in a condition of sub-existence in relation to the angels, then for the man this would take a great amount of time for seeing the results of such a problem.


Therefore, for God and the angels everything is almost completed or maybe even has happened, but for the man not, and for the same reason he "God" has already known the outcome of his creation, and for the same reason, if Jesus says:
Luke 23:43
Jesus answered him, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise."

That is then, whether paradise already exist (in another planet, or physical or spiritual plane), or the day he is referring to is a normal day for Jesus but not a normal 24 hour day for the man.

So what is the mystery about life if is not that it is the physical body what impedes us from traveling at the speed of light.

I believe there are parts of the Physical phenomenon of the Universe and of Creation that is still incomprehensible for man.

It seems to be as if we are living someone else's blink, or if we are just part of a greater system of life which has been infected with some kind of spiritual parasite.

And I thank God for bringing some of us everyday more and more to light in the blessings and wisdom of Jesus Christ, through the power of God's creative Holy Ghost.

Answer 3

I wonder at the man who observes the Universe and then says that he can explain it all with superstition and fairy tales, even while Science offers explanations that actually work.

I wonder at the man who simultaneously says that only God can understand the Universe, but then claims to know for certain what the Universe is and where it came from.

I wonder at the man who can see the wide variance of religious beliefs, and then claim that he alone knows the Truth ... does this not claim knowledge that is only available to God? Does it not make such a man a False Prophet in the eyes of the Lord?

Answer 4

I look at the universe and see no indication of design, so of course I see no indication of a creator.

Did you have some evidence of some sort? Let's see it.

-----------

No, it isn't. If there was objective evidence, I could not deny it. So where is this objective evidence? Where is the irreducible complexity? Where is this observable substance or process which cannot exist without a divine creator?

I challenge you to bring forth just one such form of evidence.

------------

Or, allow me to rephrase the question:

All things contingent require a cause, though that cause need not be intelligent. You claim that the Universe, the Cosmos, is contingent.

Prove it. Prove that the Universe, of which our visible universe is only a small, contingent part, is itself contingent. If you can do so, then the Universe has a cause, and you might have a chance of convincing me that there is a possibility that cause is deific.

Until then, you have nothing.

------------

.... still waiting.

Surely if the evidence is all around me you can point to at least one tiny thing that is the evidence you claim. Shall I describe where I am? I'm in an office with two desks. On the one desk is my name plate and my coffee mug. On the other are two computers, two monitors, two keyboards, two mice, my telephone, a network switch, a jar of strawberry preserves, a pair of speakers, a dry erase board eraser, a 512MB thumbdrive, and a Motorola Q Black. To my right is a dry erase board, 4' x 6' in size, with my projects list, tasks lists, a bunch of random quotes, a line drawing of the Flying Spaghetti Monster ickthya with WWFSMD? above it, a note, "Remember Bob!", notes from a conversation I had with a Cisco engineer, and a quote from the Torah in Hebrew script, "Shema Yisrael, ---- Eloheinu, ---- Echad." (I actually penned the Tetragrammaton... oops)

So... where in all that is this 'evidence'? Come now, surely in all that you can find ONE piece of evidence, if the evidence is truly all around me for me to see.

Answer 5

Claim CI100.1:
Design is self-evident. You just need to open your eyes and see it.

Response:

1. This claim lacks any substance. It is nothing more than a subjective assertion. That design is far from self-evident is demonstrated by the difficulty people have in trying to describe the objective evidence for it.

2. There are good reasons why people should see design that is not there.
* Humans anthropomorphize. We tend to attribute our humanlike qualities to all sorts of things. Since design is what humans do, we attribute it far and wide.
* Evolution and some human design both involve complex systems dealing with the same physical constraints (Csete and Doyle 2002).
* Evolution has much in common with a design process. It generates trial-and-error modifications of existing forms and discards the inferior versions.

Thanks for playing, though.

Answer 6

relies upon what your awareness of God or heaven is. I surely have come for the time of a few a million/2-baked, wishy-washy religionists who think of they understand each little thing yet infact understand little or no and prepare even much less. i understand God is authentic and that i additionally understand heaven is authentic. yet did you recognize that even heaven is in basic terms a ingredient of the fabrics advent and that there is a non secular international that's a techniques greater suitable to heaven? might you care to appreciate?

Answer 7

Allah SWT has shown the light to us..
He has shown us the right straight path..
And His Prophets (pbuh) has help us be on that path..
But still, people do not see it..
The proof is everywhere..
And they do not believe it..
And they challenge the Power of God..
when they can't even create one small thing even a kernel of rice or even an ant..

Answer 8

Children have always asked the question "who made the Sun?"...this is just the next logical question to ask.

Answer 9

It is indeed amazing. And just think - we've been given the intelligence and insight to someday perhaps understand all of it!

Answer 10

You are simply arrogant. You believe the universe was designed for you because you are too arrogant to believe otherwise. You are like the snowflake who observes that all of reality is a snowstorm and concludes the purpose of reality is to produce snow.

The fact you see a universe conducive to your existence could not have been otherwise. Regions where you could not evolve do not have you in them. The universe was not designed for you! You just find yourself in a part of it capable of containing you.
