All forgive but in my copious ego I thought oughta it be new OP
http://able2know.org/topic/303302-1#post-6073579
Johnx3, you oughta exchange opinions with Bro who also supports his views quoting the Bible.
Nonetheless all good q's
Although on your next attempt you might carriage-return paras and mebbe indent. Where you radically change the subject, two returns. And forgive me Squeaky, if you're listening, but I still maintain your OP's also need such separation, with intervening comments, and possibly summary
All you religious guys need to organize your OP's
Quote:Does that not sound like Genesis 1:3 "And God said let there be light, and there was light." ?
Well not exactly
Quote:Does this make sense...nobody made the universe....instead it 'made itself.... because it felt the need to' ?
Well not exactly. However the idea that it started as a sort of "nothingness" has great appeal, then grew with the Big Bang; did it this way 'cause it had to
Then of course after a while the expansion slowed down, starting the next Big Crunch. No contradictions nor paradox: Things happened this way because they hadta
Quote:If we evolved from apes, why are there the beginning and end stages only? Where...in between?
Another really good q, wondered myself. Doubtless we'll hear from somebody with a debatable answer
Quote: In order for this to make sense, we had to have both been made at the same time and made two different creatures:
Doubtless (to me) ridiculous
Quote:If creatures evolved according to their surroundings, then how do they know how to evolve according to them?
They don't hafta, the environment forces 'em
Quote:Does nothingness use its nothingness and change animals because nothing told nothingness that it needed to?
Yes x3, I'd say that sums it up pretty good. However, eventually we shall have to gain a new understanding of "nothingness"
Quote:That makes no sense.
It will after we redefine nothingness
Quote:Wouldn't it make sense for a God to be watching and fixing his creations according to their environment ?
The apodictical existential pantheist (me for one) absolutely agrees, this is the way it's happening
right now. The Universe is Her body and all the activity therein Her thinking; in a sense we're Her brain cells
Quote:If that can happen, history can repeat itself
Precisely, John, one of the biggest mysteries of all. By the laws of chance, it asks if She is eternal (which She is) then it has already happened exactly this way an infinite number of times; which intuition maintains is preposterous
So we might hafta [i
]reconstruct some of our math[/i] to include a new way of rolling at chance, infinity and nothingness
Been a pleasure, john
Oh and an entirely diffsub: Help me spread the word that the digital community should come to realize it has to hire editing programmers with an IQ a bit higher than 42--with an open letter including the revelation that. fellas, John is almost always capitalized. If you're stuck on a toilet, of course, you can include both versions
Forgive me oldtimers if I seem to repeat myself
