atheism and religion, let us make this clear, are completely separate from the realm of science. science provides the facts, and theology explains the creation of these facts...
what really angers me is when people claim that there has to be a god... so how do you define god (bearing in mind that the bible said specifically that He created us in the image of Him)- is He white with a long beard, sandals, and a robe? Is he black? Is he brown skinned in a turban? Is he asian? Starting to get sticky, aren't we?
here's what i believe- the universe, or cosmos, which may be composed of millions of universes, is infinite... it had no beginning, and will have no end... thus it had no creation, and therefore no creator...
not one person in this forum could say otherwise- not one person could prove to me that this is untrue... unless you know something that i don't...
so why do we need a god?
simple
the universe is too large to without one...
why
because COMPARED TO HUMANS, the universe is incomprehensibly large...
yeah, but adjectives are not inherent qualities- they are analytical statements- they are two measurements compared to eachother...
who says that we should compare the size of the universe to ourselves?
in fact, the universe shold not be large... it should be our median and it should be our ultimate- look
the universe is incredibly large compared to the earth
the sun is incredibly large compared to the earth
yet the sun is incredibly small compared to the universe, and so is everything else.
if we stopped thinking in such geocentric dimensions, maybe we'd realize how small we are......
