People say the eye is so sophisticated and marvelous that it couldn't have just come from nothing.
People would argue that the eye must have been intelligently created.
Then where does something as complex as god come from.
It seems like the only two ways of looking at it is, either everything has just always been or there once was nothing that turned into something.
The answer may be that everything has just always been, but that still doesn't explain that there is God.

Indeed the structure and functioning of the eye is so marvelous that even Darwin was puzzled as to how such a complex structure could have evolved. Even in earlier life forms it seems to be well developed. It is clear it could not have formed by itself.
When we see design we can only deduce that some intelligence has produced it. As to where that intelligence came from we at the present state would just have to wonder.

properly now this is the appropriate question isn't it. technological know-how has the comparable problem no count in case you opt for to "declare" that or no longer. See, count is right here, it had to return from someplace, count can not basically come into existence. organic potential can not create count. So the place did the development blocks of existence come from? That being pronounced, i do no longer think of the declare is that God got here from something. it form of feels that the declare is that God continually existed meaning he replaced into with the aid of no potential created. If some thing replaced into continually right here then it did no longer come from something. there is no info the two way. you in straight forward terms made an entire twisted argument to point the obtrusive. Religions don't have info, they have self belief. technological know-how does not have info it basically retains looking, probably for some thing that may by no potential be spoke back or completely understood with the aid of our feeble little brains.

Who says He comes from nothing? I haven't heard that. And always being sounds like some of those eastern religions (right now I can't think of exactly which one, but Hinduism is the first word that comes to my mind).
There are some things we will never know in this life. I'm okay with that. It doesn't mean I will stop trying to find out; It just means that I will not claim wisdom to things that I couldn't possibly know.

exactly.
that means that God is Atman... ever & always present in everything ....this is basically the Christian view, altho the word is Hindu... it means God is everywhere.
or the Universe & everything is empty of inherent existance... Anatman... meaning that there is no God that is ever lasting & indestructible. That is the Buddhist viewpoint.
There is an excellent video with Deepak Chopra (Hindu) and Robert Thurman (Buddhist) you can rent from Netflix called 'God & Buddha, a Dialog"... it explains both sides of the theories of Atman/God in everything & Anatman/ emptiness... and in the end, they agree that it's really just semantics & it's all the same ;-)
but rent it & enjoy!

Just the fact that something is so complex does not mean it needs to have a creator. That's the brilliancy of evolution.
Plus, what kind of person could create such a complex world in only 6 days? Seems a little crazy to me.

the same way how we cannot grasp the idea there isn't an end to the universe or a beginning of time or end. If you think of it, god being here forever before and after actually makes sense. ( i hope i used the correct sense :) )

To make a THING---a person takes what just IS, and they define it, label it, limit it---then it becomes a THING, in this case a god form.
The SPIRIT wasn't supposed to have a form, IT was to remain NOT-a-THING...aka nothing.
The concept is actually more in line with present day EASTERN thought, rather than western philosophy.

The same way the rest of religion did.

You're looking at this through the eyes of a person who was born and then has a physical death. It's hard for us to imagine that God was always here - because we are born and we die. We have a beginning and an ending - He does not. His ideas of time and space our different from ours. Hopefully when we die and go to Heaven, we can understand it from His perspective.

we dont know it all,never will.we think that if we dont know it then it must not be true,wrong.there is still knowledge that supercedes human capabilities and can only be understood by a person who has entered into a super realm.it is called heaven.
