@maxdog,

We evolved to fit the planet.

I mean also, it s easy for humans to get crazy just for things that happen to them, and those things are normally in nature like you lose someone by dead or murdered, you got raped , work stress, been in an accident, climate change , fear of a serious disease and so on

@maxdog,

We evolved from the primate family of animals. Humans evolved. There are no gods. We humans are produced like most animals on this planet; by male and female sexual intercourse. Which came first, the chicken or the egg? The chicken came first; without the chicken, there would be no egg. All life forms on this planet can survive, because of the environment of this planet. It includes the sun, water, and food source.

Just because we, and all creatures and plants have evolved, does not negate the existence of a singular God or multiple gods. Without the benefit of knowledge acquired in an afterlife experience (whatever that may be), we humans have no way of knowing definitively.

@Sturgis,

Gods are a plenty; thousands of them. It's a human disease based on nothing more than ignorance. Humans evolved from primates, and we are but a young species on this planet. According to many scientists who have studied about earth and our universe, they estimate this planet to be around 4.5 billion years old. I prefer science over faith on gods. As a human species, I don't need the promise of everlasting life. Our life on this planet is but a speck in time. What we do with it has many restrictions and freedoms. I often wonder about my family tree, and how far back and where my ancestors are from. DNA studies show that Japanese are Tibetans and Han Chinese. Those are the kinds of wonderments that interests me; not about gods and everlasting life. The motto for a good human life is very simple: Treat all living things with respect and dignity. We don't need gods or books with thousands of words to direct our lives as humans.

@cicerone imposter,

You believe gods are all a product of ignorance. That's fine. My beliefs are mine and I believe that there is something or many somethings.

At no place have I argued against the matter of creatures and plants evooving, or the solar system changing.

According to Smith, the Yellow River culture's influence appeared to stop at the T'ao valley of the Kansu in the west. The Kansu encompasses "the ecological frontier between the plains of China and the steppes of Inner Asia" (Smith 2). Anthropologist Jaroslav Prusek asserts that "[Inhabitants of the Kansu were] possibly of a different ethnic strain and probably of a distinct cultural tradition" in comparison to the other Neolithic cultures to the north and west. Some anthropologists even argue that the Nelothic cultures pre-dating Tibet can trace origins to the Indo-Europeans. According to Smith, "In the third millennium, proto Indo-Europeans were stretched all along the present political boundaries of China and perhaps even farther to the east" (6). Quite simply, the exact biological origins of Tibetan people remain, to this day, contested.

. Han Chinese:

Origins of the Han Chinese. The ancestors of the Han people, called today the Huaxia culture, were among the first people in China to develop agriculture and settled societies. They lived along the Yellow River in northern China, a river that maintained practical and spiritual significance in Chinese culture throughout Chinese history.

@cicerone imposter,

I do not believe that human society or culture can exist without religious beliefs. That doesn't mean gods. It does mean a belief in something greater that human daily existence.

Once you have religious beliefs, whether they are expressed in deities or not doesn't really matter.

I am surprised that Cicerone Imposter is speaking out against books.

Sure: I love the way christians rationalize their creation myth with science. Don't get me wrong; all my siblings are Christians, so I understand what "that" religion is all about. I grew up in it.

I'm not a Christian.

Once again, I am a Deist.

Raised Methodist, Jewish and Rosicrucian. Not associated with any of them now.

Deist: God of nature. Why god? Nature is nature; it's natural. It's all based on what evolved based on nature or the environment.

Not necessarily a single god. Possibly all souls blending together.

As I said, until death we do not know.

That's where we differ. Death is the final void. All animal life experience it. It's nature. This planet cannot sustain all living things forever. What mystifies me about heaven is the aging issue. Do people grow old, or stay at the same age for eternity? Or, do they grow to a certain age, then stop aging? In human terms, I find that very boring. Are there any challenges in heaven? No conflicts, no deaths, no arguments, no differences of opinion? I would die from boredom.

Differences, it's good to have them, otherwise we'd be bored stiff.

@Sturgis,

Differences are what creates racism, wars, division, and conflicts.

It shouldn't.

Then again, I grew up in a split heritage.

So with this answer you came for the classical question, and the chicken how it came if not from the egg?

@Sturgis,

So can you say what you believe when you see that god showed himself 2000 years ago and even more before in many occasions and today not a single apperance ?
