what do you think of it?

Question

So far these questions almost never get anywhere but what do you think? Is there an intelligent god who made the world and us? What happens when we die? Do we have a soul? What is the truth about spirits? I want your honest opinion please. With calm assurance I believe I know. Someday I hope I will be able to write a book outlining what I believe to be the truth for those who seek it.

Answer 1

1.Yes,there is only one God that created ALL things
2.Your body decomposes but your soul lives on for eternity in either hell or heaven.It is your own human freewill choice to believe that God sent Jesus both in human form and God to save us from all our sins.All humans have sins.Jesus was the only sinless man that ever walked the face of this planet.Those who believe that Jesus is who He said He was and accept it as truth and His forgiveness will live eternity in heaven after we die.Those who reject Him will spend eternity in hell.He loved us ALL that He died for ALL people. We must believe in faith.His love for us suppasses all human capacity and understanding.But I feel it.I truly do. God is alive and well waiting our prayers all hours of the day.
3.Without any doubt,we have a soul.
4.Yes,spirits do exist both good and evil.The Holy Spirit that is in you after your accept Jesus as God and your savior and your only to heaven,gives you a real conscience about doing right and wrong.
5.Only Jesus is Way and the Truth.

I was an atheist for 27 years of my life with a very scientific mind but now belief.Science can NOT disprove any of The Bible.Not any of it.

Believe,before you die.Then it will be too late.I rather have that reassurance from God that only God can give that I will spend eternity in heaven than in hell.

Your choice.It will be the biggest descion you'll ever make in your lifetime.Believe me.

Let know what you chose.I will pray you chose heaven.Not hell.

Answer 2

1. There is no intelligent god who made the Universe. You might as well believe in the tooth fairy.

2. When we die, our bodies decompose and become a medium for bacteria, except when we are cremated. Then, if returned to the environment, we re-mix with the basic elements and become part of the world again.

3. We do not have a soul.

4. Spirits don't exist. It's all fairy tales.

With calm assurance, I'd be willing to bet you're wrong on every point. But go ahead and write your book anyway. You won't be the first to mislead people into believing a lot of silly religious myths.

Answer 3

Next there the inevitable question " what are you defining as God " and the inevitable conclusion we all reach the answer Pardon?

I'm not so everybody else might just be God although I'm wondering about a few of the lesser beings and virusae and the like but if that's a question then can you rephrase it and then repeat it coherently? Sounds like this one is Seasick. That's my first clue. Still there.... This is the night of the rising sun, and flying tigers everywhere and popcorn if they ever get here... wanna beef there's pretzels and coke if you buy them. When who dies? Or rather what? Put this to the S: Word.
Anybody there? I wonder. Now lets take this one seriously for a minute what's next on the list.... We have a soul. If we do so desire but what of it .... Spirits is just somebody else it always is like the things that go bump in the night and it's always your lover.

My honest opinion is this ; there's always room for one more in America lately no?

I hope you do more than write one I hope you get rich and famous and all that's coming to you and for that matter all that's coming to us all but where will you keep it.
Yeah what we all need is a book that you don't simply have to read but that you can put away for a while.

But what comes after the truth... somebody always wins... and then there's science and math for those who want to go back to confusion and the like and then there's you're question right... what do you expect stone?

Yeah put it in print then we can all stop lying.

Answer 4

In answer to your all your questions, it depends upon whom you ask.

If you ask somebody steeped in religious dogma you will get an answer based upon the particular dogma with which he or she is familiar. And his or her answer will depend entirely on their dogma. And, though the answers you get will differ... every one will be absolutely certain that they are 100% correct, and that everybody who disagrees with them are wrong. If they encounter something they can't explain,rather than search for the answer, they fall back on the mantra, "Some things man just isn't supposed to know." I solves everything for them.

If you ask the scientific community, they will tell you they don't know. They will give you theories about the formation of the earth and life on it. All they can tell you about what happens after death is what they've been able to scientifically observe. As far as spirits and souls, there is no scientific evidence of either.

Yet you will find scientists who are devoutly religious. Einstein was a religious man. Science is not out to destroy religion as some who profess religion contend. Science is out to find the truth. Religious dogma has not stood that search well.

For centuries the Earth was flat, and the center of the universe because some deity or other made it so. Then they found the Earth was round... like the Greeks knew a thousand years earlier.

Well, at least it was the center of the universe, and man was the only intelligent life. Then science proved that it wasn't even the center of the solar system.

Ok... well at least man was the only intelligent life. Science tried, but by any definition applied to intelligence, other critters exhibited intelligence... here on earth. There are other critters that use tools, that have speech, that are self aware.

So man was the only critter with a soul. Well, science couldn't find any evidence of a soul in any other critter. Religion figured it had finally won one. But science pointed out that it couldn't verify that man had a soul either.

I think the search for your answers has to be personal. I don't believe that anybody has the right to tell you what to believe. Those who try... I tend to distrust them.

You keep searching. Do what most religions decry... question everything. Don't attack... just question. If a belief system seems to contradict itself to you, and you can't resolve the contradiction, then there could very well be a flaw in the belief system. But don't condemn a belief system just because you don't like it... or because it conflicts with yours. Throw it out only if it conflicts with itself. What if you accidentally throw out the truth? I've found that the truth keeps popping up. You can't escape it. A Muslim friend and I came to the conclusion that truth is true. It doesn't make any difference if it's written in Sanskrit, Arabic, Latin, Greek, Hebrew, or English... or even if it's not written or spoken at all.

You keep searching.... questioning. You might just find your answers. But, may I suggest you keep your findings to yourself. All those religions out there... they won't like you much.

Answer 5

honestly, i don't have a good idea in what i believe, i was raised catholic but I'm interested in science and the big bang.

all i can say is i don't believe in religion at all. thats not to say i don't believe in god, just that i don't like the fact that were expected to donate money to pay for "renovations". whens the last time your church got renovated seriously?

id say if i believe anything its that god created the big bang. not just earth. i believe there is intelligent life somewhere else in the cosmos. i believe there is a heaven and a hell. and i believe that most people now a days believe in god because they, deep down, don't but are afraid of what will happen if god is real. and that most people feel like they just HAVE to believe in god.

and another thing i believe is that people should stop preaching their religions. like on here. you can ask a simple question like "where did we all come from" and you get 400 people quoting genesis. people just need to settle down, and do what they believe, not what they think they have to.

Answer 6

Your questions all refer to the unknowable. TF, I can only answer based on what I've read. Jesus made the universe and everything in it. We are judged for the life we led. The body is the garden for the soul, which is an integral part of you. There are unseen forces in the universe which compete for your lasting obedience. All of this is what gives a Christian reason to hope for the possibility of one day living eternally with God.

Answer 7

No god made us. We evolved.

When we die we become one with the earth either as worm food or pushing up grass or daisies or trees or whatever.

There is no soul or spirit. It is just our nervous system acting on us.

You wanted to know what I thought and I gave my honest opinions.

Answer 8

I'm atheist, I will go the way of the luminiferous aether. If however there is something beyond our plane of existence. I will ask permission to return and tell everyone. I don't believe my request will be honored though.

Answer 9

Someday I genuinely hope that you -can- do that. Annd that your book will be read by others of a similar mindset and similar beliefs and that it will bring them great joy, peace, and happiness.

But, in the meantime, would you mind terribly not adding to the number of fµckwits cluttering up a science forum?

Answer 10

The universe is a finite entity,an incident with a beginning and an end.
We are also an incident,an incident that happens once and,runs it's course and doesn't happen again.
