God, Existence and the Human Condition

On the existence of god.

Im going to offer a bunch of views, on none of which i have concluded yet.

1. As for coming into existence out of nothing. If you mean the human race or life on earth in general, then in basic principle, our DNA and RNA are as such a complicated combination of chemicals, proteins and such. The very first single celled life forms were barely anymore than a mixture of chemicals, certainley they had no thinking process or logic but they exist by whatever instinct they may have and evolve according to their present needs. As needs change so does the need for a more complicated life form. So it becomes something with say two or three cells. Does this process require the need of a superior being? And if so, where did the being aquire its knowledge for life. Surely it could not just know, and where did this being come from. Logic tells us that the knowledge and existence had to originate from somewhere other than the being itself.

2. On god.

The argument that god created himself is not self suffiecient. If there is no god to create god then god cannot be created. Existence must have an origin, and a cause, i dont beleive is necessary, randomness to purpose is quite plausible.

3. On god 2

In the views that god is all loving does not fulfill the need for equilibrium. That is where satan comes in right? The need for a balance, but since neither being can exist on its own, one could conclude that on the possibility of god, god and the satan would be one and the same. Good - Evil, Ying-Yang, Abott-Costello Very Happy.

4. On humans.

The need for an explanation is a universal trait. As we as a species became aware of ourselves, we began to ask the questions;

1. Where did i come from?
2. Why do I exist. Do i have a purpose.
3. If i didnt create the ground on which i walk, then who did?
4. How do i explain a phenomenon to which i cant explain.

To an early human, a god, a supernatural all knowing being/entitiy, would give a suitable explanation to these questions would it not?

I would like it very much to discuss these points and others but not religion as it were so much, well atleast not organized. The human condition.

Hi Etruscia! It strikes me that you can question how God started but you can't use it to discard God, because then your left with how the world started by itself... ok, the big bang, but where did all the matter come from to bang in the first place?
I've puzzled over this one a fair amount but it seems you come up against the same problem whatever you believe!
