How about string theory?

Yes it may be Jewish believe, but isn't the old testament based on the old Hebrew bible?

The King James Version (KJV) translates Genesis 6:4 as follows: “There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.”

Some theorists believe that the term sons of God(instead of sons of men) refers to the fallen angels and daughters of men are mortal women.

Here's my theo ry,

God knows and ain't tellin'!

Yes I do believe what's written in the Bible. I believe it is the word of God.

“I am just curious where some people derive that God is female”

I often refer to god as ‘her’.

But as you say, I don’t really think of god as having gender. God is spirit. But it beats calling god ‘it’.

Being a pantheist it makes sense to refer to god in the feminine. We have always referred to “Mother Nature”, and “Mother Earth”. So it’s a natural extension from that to think of god as being feminine.

I also refer to god as a ‘her’ so that people don’t mistakenly think that I’m talking about the Christian God which is always referred to as a ‘him’.

The person I was asking was mentioned the bible so I could only assume they meant the Christian God. As far as the nurturing mother for someone that isn't following the whole Christian thing is understandable. If you are a Catholic you know that the bible tells us that God tells us to call him Father. The priest always reminds us of that before we say the "Our Father".

I called her because sister called God her. I didn't know it's because God was mother of nature.

If earthquakes are not caused by God, then what causes it?

Shifts in the tectonic plates under earths surface. When they ram each other it causes an earthquake. I believe that is how it works. The earths surface is always moving and it is believed that all the continents use to be one large continent. If the earth stays around long enough then they should all meet back together one day. That will most likely take billions of years.

so What causes it? the nature?

why can't God prevent it with his "Magic" power?

God doesn't make things happen he allows things to happen. I really like the Clockmaker theory. This theory states that God created the universe and all the laws that govern it and let it run its self. This theory is very flexible and allows for there to be a God and evolution.

Basically bad things have to happen and people have to die. We already are having food and overpopulation problems in the world.

40 million died in WWI many people died from the plague and other epidemics, others from natural disasters. If none of the mass deaths from wars, famine, plagues, natural disasters, etc occured then the planet would not be able to support that much human life and we would slowly die of starvation or other things.

Its a sad truth, but it is a truth none the less. Like people say there is a plan.

H. P. Lovecraft and Albert Camus now there is a combination. Yeah, I read a little of Lovecraft's science fiction. I was really ready for rehab after reading their stuff. In Lovecraft's fictional works, humans are often subject to powerful beings and other cosmic forces, but these forces are not so much malevolent as they are indifferent toward humanity. This indifference is an important theme in cosmicism. The noted Lovecraft scholar S. T. Joshi points out that "Lovecraft constantly engaged in (more or less) genial debates on religion with several colleagues, notably the pious writer and teacher Maurice W. Moe. Lovecraft made no bones about being a complete atheist, and he considered religion not merely false but dangerous to social and political progress." As such, Lovecraft's cosmicism is not religious at all, but rather a version of his mechanistic materialism." Lovecraft thus embraced a philosophy of cosmic indifferentism. He believed in a purposeless, mechanical, and uncaring universe that human beings, with their limited faculties, could never fully understand. His viewpoint made no allowance for religious belief, which could not be supported scientifically. The incomprehensible, cosmic forces of his tales have as little regard for humanity as humans have for insects.

The Myth of Sisyphus is a philosophical essay by Albert Camus. It comprises about 120 pages and was published originally in 1942 in French as Le Mythe de Sisyphe; the English translation by Justin O'Brien followed in 1955.

In the essay, Camus introduces his philosophy of the absurd: man's futile search for meaning, unity and clarity in the face of an unintelligible world devoid of God and eternity. Does the realization of the absurd require suicide? Camus answers: "No. It requires revolt." He then outlines several approaches to the absurd life. The final chapter compares the absurdity of man's life with the situation of Sisyphus, a figure of Greek mythology who was condemned to repeat forever the same meaningless task of pushing a rock up a mountain, only to see it roll down again. The essay concludes, "The struggle itself is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy."

Absurdism is a philosophy stating that the efforts of humanity to find meaning in the universe will ultimately fail (and, hence, are absurd) because no such meaning exists, at least in relation to humanity. The word Absurd in this context does not mean "logically impossible", but rather "humanly impossible".

Absurdism is related to existentialism and nihilism, though should not be confused with either. Absurdism as a concept has its roots in the 19th century Danish philosopher, Søren Kierkegaard.


I am not knocking it. I am just saying that one would want to have a clear head before reading some of it because it does get pretty deep.

Quick, get the waders! or is it wadders?

highjack? i think not i was mereley bringing up a philosopher who interests me (wow a montains of madness movie?!)

"Yes it may be Jewish believe, but isn't the old testament based on the old Hebrew bible? "

The old testament IS the hebrew bible and there r no discrpencies between any versions of it except 4 transalation into other languages

I believe in the Bible and I believe the words came from God and all the events that happened. Regardless of what people say, it does make sense if you wanted to believe it did. But that is where faith comes in. To be faithful, doesn't mean you can be trusted, but you practice good faith not to fall into temptation of doing otherwise. Therefore I believe it is okay to have questions and room to wonder. Yet this is my truth and is no way ever near doubt.

randomstranger, have u been a christian all ur life? i think that many people choose to believe soleley bcause that is the religion their parents taught them is true

how odd of god to choose the jews
but much more odd the jews chose god

I was born and raised a catholic and I questions things. Thats just the type of person I am. I mean you can't take everything in the bible 100% because things will contradict. I can't tell you where they are but there are two stories of creation. One where god created animals before man and another where adam was created, then the animals as companions, then eve. Also the Bible says man has free will, so if you believe this than it would seem logical that people over the course of 2007 years changed, altered, edited, and even removed parts of the bible they didn't like. Even added stuff in.

The first accounting of the animals, before Adam, were the dinosaurs, don't ya thin!

Christians don’t believe in anything unless there’s absolutely no evidence for it at all.

Sad, but true.
