Question

a little explaination of your opinion would be appreciated{sp}

Answer 1

If you look at the statistics about religious belief the proportion of people claiming no religion has been steadily rising and examination of peoples' actual beliefs seem to indicate that people aren't as religious as they claim to be in surveys.

Religion seems to be dying off slowly (too slow for my liking) but it is dying off nevertheless.

Answer 2

1. Each effect has a cause, as water vapors are the cause of water and ice. Similarly, “This” (we, Nature and beyond) are the effects of “That” (Cosmic Consciousness), and “That” is the cause of “This”.

2. Effects are different forms and names of the same cause, as water and ice is the different form and name for water vapors. Similarly, “This” is different form and name of same “That”. If we drop the idea of form and name, then “This” becomes “That’.

3. An effect cannot exist without its cause, as water and ice cannot exist without water vapors or H2O molecules. Similarly, “This” can not exist without “That”. If we take out “That” from “This”, “This” also vanishes.

Cause is subtle, and effect is gross. An effect is gross manifestation of the cause. In other words, cause is subtler effect, and effect is grosser cause.

“This” is the effect of “That” and “That” is the source of “This”. If one drops of the relative perspective of “This” and “That”, then “This” is “That” and “That” is “This”.

Cause of causes is Cosmic Consciousness (ðYvara) and rest all are Its manifestations. In the infinite ocean of Cosmic Consciousness, innumerable waves (Self as a Separated Consciousness) emerge and then finally merge back. Life is also an expression of Cosmic Conciseness.

Answer 3

The existence or non-existence of God cannot be proved or disproved scientifically. At best we can cite certain scientific laws and theories (big bang, second law of thermodynamics, DNA etc.), which indicate the existence of God. There can be no scientific proof, simply because God is not physical or material. He is spiritual and infinite.

But if we broaden our notion of science to include knowledge of things that we get from observing their effects on other things, then God can be known from science.

It is a doctrine of the Church that faith does not come to us through reason alone, but by the grace of God. If a person opposes even the possibility of God's existence, then any arguments or evidence can be rationalized away.

I believe in a personal God from personal experience. It is like faith, hope and love. We know they are true but we cannot prove them concretely. It is the same thing with God. I feel his presence in the situations and circumstances I find myself in. That's how God communicates to me. I also know God loves me through the blessings (in the form of opportunities) he gives me. That's how I know God exists. I don’t need any concrete proof.

Open you heart, mind, and soul to God’s grace and you too will find Him.

Answer 4

I don't think I know. If everything has a beginning how did it begin. If life gives birth to life of all forms..what gave birth to life? God did.

I believe in the big bang theory..God spoke and Bang it was!

Answer 5

no, today's youth don't believe unless their brainwashed by their parents and cant think for them selves. god and religion was made up long long ago as a way to explain the unexplainable

Answer 6

:)

You need a mature brain to think that G-d is exist. You can use statistic method to calculate the percentage how many people believe in G-d/s vs the other.

See.. now you see it...


peace

Answer 7

I don't know if there is a God and me thinking about it won't change the fact whether or not there is or isn't.

Answer 8

Yes, absolutely.

Answer 9

Yes I do because I can feel His presence everyday. Especially when I am Praying. You can really feel Him help and Guide you through everyday. Through every situation. I love God and He loves me. God bless you and evryone around you.
