Oh and not only that no one can prove/disprove that the universe did/didn't pop out of nothingness...



Hi dragoness

"This is the voice of God, I command you to take your finger out of your nose"



Am I god, No I am not! You are looking for answers to a question that cannot be answered. You are looking for an absolute in a realm of possibilities. Can I say God exists? No I cannot. Can I say God doesn't exist? No I cannot. In between two opposite ends of beliefs, there are vast amounts of possibilities. I can prove air exists, though I cannot see it. I can also prove energy exists. There is no proof that God exists, there is also no proof that God doesn't. There are only possibilities.

Yea...what he said!

Hello As for the argument of the universe. My dad always said it is the question of which came first the chicken or the egg? You can't have a chicken without an egg and you can't have an egg without a chicken. So there it is.

I believe we as humans believe at this point our knowledge is insurmountable. But we are still babies in the knowledge department and we will know the answers to these questions one day.

Just like when we believed the world was flat and we would fall off of it, I believe some are trying to fit the universe into this same philosophy and it is not possible. As for a god creating it, I do not believe that.

You can count on it.

Yes you are right...I just like to mess with funches...he's very entertaining. I think he should be a lawyer or a professor. I am not sure I'd pass his class though...

Yeyyyy! Thank-you...

Hi different! Just waiting to see what funches is going to say to me now that I answered his question again...

I would argue that it's quite different from dreaming. Being in a meditative state is not at all like being asleep, nor like being in a dream.

It only sounds that why when you attempt to describe it to others. You have to experience it for yourself.

That's all I can say.

However, I will agree with you, that it's not proof of anything other than there are many ways to delude ourselves.

Nope, meditation is not proof of anything. But it's a really cool experience none-the-less and I highly recommend it.

You realize all the while that I'm in total agreement with your original assertion that there is no 'rational' explanation for believing in a God.

But then again, I would argue that there's no rational explanation to suggest that the entire universe isn't just a dream. In fact, modern physics is currently at impasse to explain it rationally. That may never change, or it might. Who knows?

I still say that if you want to come to any rational conclusions you’re going to need to resort to pretending just like everyone else does.

Hey iamgg, hang tight, you won't be disappointed.

Really most of you guys would make excellent teachers...you think so much more about things...I am the type who gets in the car and drives without thinking about how it works kinda' girl I guess.

how rude

uh-oh, oil, I always forget about the oil, thanks!

Did funches run off on us?

Yea!
Aaw I missed the post of someone calling him an ass

That wasn't rude.

If she wanted to be rude she would have called you a donkey.

Yes, the entire dictionary contains the established definition(s) for any given term. Quantum physics has added to our language and understanding(s). However, the average person does not understand the concepts.

When an average person experiences the unimaginable,(s)he is required to use the knowledge which they possess in order to describe the events. You have asked for a description which you would not deem delusional. Would you seriously entertain the validity of an unimaginable event based on terminology that did not yet exist? Would you accept the new creation of any given term, in the attempt for another to successfully describe the unimaginable?




This parallel has no foundation, my friend...

All we have available as effective communication are the accepted meaning(s) of familiar terms between the ones communicating.

I could write for an eternity in a language another cannot comprehend, and absolutely no understanding would come of it.

Have fun all just sending some love to dragoness.....
