Re: >>>>>>>Origins<<<<<<<<<<<

So, why does the conditions that allowed the universe (as described as the inflation known as the 'Big Bang" "always" exist, but without the characteristics of being an intelligent being who made the universe for a purpose, and is interested in humanity?

Re: Which came first? God or the Egg?

Its odd to me how we humans on this dustspeck of a blip in the known universe can have the audacity to attempt to explain a theory of everything and yet so grandly dismiss God as an illogical concept!

It's not odd at all. That is because either people proclaim god to be unexplainable, or they have a large number of 'special pleadings' they reserve just for God.

I mean, look at what the evidence for God is. It appears to be "I can't explain it, so it must be God". Couple that with the fact you can't get agreement about what God is, and what god does, and it does seem to be illogical.

Re: Which came first? God or the Egghead?

I suppose that if you are as honest as you can be about the need to form a personal relationship with Jesus then you will not be judged for appearing (to me) to be indifferent about the matter. I mean, after all, who am I to suggest how you should think??

I guess that I should be more worried about my own relationship with God and that perhaps I am projecting my own insecurities onto you in order for me to feel better about myself.

Very insightful.I feel that is true (and felt that for quite some time) for many of the people who are trying to convince others that their religion is the 'true one'.

Many of them just can not admit that to themselves though. The fact that you can realise it is quite unusual.
