Re: GOD Defined
No fair!
I only used the caps to copy the style of the guy I was replying to... And I agree, most likely not "everyone". My point wasn't meant to be taken to that literal degree.
Wait, all caps means I win?
Awesome.
That pretty much sums up my thoughts of this thread too. "Awesome". Yes, we're quite capable of thinking of an 'ultimate being/thing', and it would be better if this being/thing did actually exist. Cool. It may actually be really cool if our thoughts had any bearing whatsoever on what actually does exist.
Bottom line is observations of the real world come first. No one thought up a four legged furry animal, and then 'poof' dogs appeared. It works the other way, we observe a four legged furry animal, and we give it a name.
God will never exist from humans defining Him into existance.
God exists. Or God does not exist.
The actuality will not be known until we have observations of the real world.
The probabilities of these options will not be known until we have observations of the real world.
Without observations of the real world, we may use faith to believe in God. Faith also does not force God into existance. But if God does exist, faith may be our only possible connection to Him.
