Does God Exist?

Quote:

How do you KNOW time is an illusion? Don't you actually mean that time MAY BE an illusion?

As I said, I am still researching this, but it becomes clearer and clearer to me that time is an illusion, a fabric of the human mind.
But as I said, I might be wrong, I might be right. I'll see.

At the moment, I really don't know. I am going , at the moment, towards the idea that the universe etc always existed, because there is, in fact, no time, it is an illusion, But as I said, still researching that.

If the universe always existed, it is much much older than 13 bl years. And Earth too, probably. So why do you object to the idea that earth is as 'young' as 4.5 bl yrs?

Your idea that time is an illusion has nothing going for it. Not a iota of evidence. It's pure fantasy.

This thing we call “the universe” (with the qualifier that we suppose it is not an illusion)…does appear to be billions of years in existence…and the sun and Earth appear to be 4.5 or so billions of years in existence.

Arguing with that is silly

Well, you may think it is silly, but actually you are saying that I may not cricize modern nonsense.

As stated before, nice numbers, but I really don't think they are true, because of the already mentioned argument, circular reasoning and many flawed assumptions,

silly or not, I disagree with 'science'. and again NOT because of religious beliefs!

Disagree all you want, Q...and for whatever motivation you suppose. But to call into question the work of scientists over the years on these issues based on the reasons you are giving...seems like a wild guess (and an out of control ego) gone ape.

You tend to do that.

In any case, although I disagree with you strongly on much...I wanted to mention what I mentioned for the other side of the coin.

I am reminded here of Margaret Fuller, who said, "I accept the universe."

Wow!

Seems to me YOU don't have a clue here. Science is not circular in its reasoning. How much scientific education do you have?

Ah well, so if scientist say things for years then it must be true!

Well, History showed that one wrong.

It hasn't to do anything with my ego.

It is just that I found out we are lied to on so many fronts it really is unbelievable. the church religions, banks..science.

So, it is not about how long scientist have maintained the 'status quo'
It is about if it is true or not. That is the only valid question.

Your 'argument' is based on the authority fallacy and the popularity fallacy.

You just don't really understand my motivation. See above.

Well, I never said I didn't.

You are saying you have solved one of the most complex problems ever...and that you can show the entirety of science to be mistaken.

And you dare to suppose that has nothing to do with your ego???

C'mon...get real.

I understand absurdity when I see it...and when I read your posts, I see absurdity. You seem like a decent person...but your posts are absurd.

I don't care much about my ego, BUT it is interesting that YOU brought up?!

I ONLY care for the truth.

And where have I written that I have solved the most complex problems ever??? where? show me!!!! I haven't!!
where did I write that????

Strange, I always say 'science' is like a religion, and you just prove that to me.

How dare you! Blasphemy! Ego!!! Our gods (=scientists) are right!
Imposter! Liar! Off with his head!!

Think again.

I only care if something is true or not.

I am only pointing ouut that your Emperor has no Clothes and is naked , very very naked.


scary and cold eh?!~

Ok, but you are not able to tell me why. I think, really, that 'science'' is extremely absurd the way it is done nowaday and yes, I dare to say, that scientist really don't know what they are doing. Especialy the physicists are extremely dumb people. Can't think at all!

'scientisty' have found a lot 'absurd' , later a lot of it was true!

So....

I am talking about something to be true or not, not if it is absurd or not.
Because, the world is , if you look deep enough, is more absurd than you even can imagine. No kidding here.

Actually, at this moment you might call this world an asylum.

Yep, put things in perspective.. doesn't it?!

People in asylums think that queer behaviour is 'normal', the norm, and 'normal' behaviour is seen as strange very strange, Hence the absurdity you think you see.

So have you seen any good movies lately?
