Is there a God?

Ok, now your asking Dangerous Questions.

Try this one.

If there is no god, then what the Hell (oops, not at all an applicable word) is Going On?!

Science, in general, seems to want to take the attitude:
"I won't believe until you prove he/she exists!"

How can water prove to a goldfish that the ocean exists if the goldfish refuses to listen to the water?
---If he sends him a message from another goldfish, the disbeliever can simply deny the veracity of the teacher and ignore the truth.
---If the goldfishes mother tells him of it, he can attribute it to superstition.
---If the water does anything directly, he will attribute it to a natural phenomenon and deny any implication that it means anything more.
In the end, the only way that the water can teach the fish is for the fish to decide to listen to the water.

Even when his only clue either way says over and over that it is, he will choose to deny the existence of something that he has no power to effect. The only loss is his own.

Science, in general, accepts a theory as a working fact as long as it:

Answers all the questions.
Can be used to extrapolate truths.

Does not the belief in God provide this?

Ok, Try this.

Given that man is mentally the most advanced species we have been able to find, using only 10% of his brain thus implicating a future of mental development that could exceed the development capacity of evolution, that man has managed to dominate the planet and is now reaching beyond:

Where Does Man Come From?

No god

Accident in Nature? (only once please) (1 in 10 to the ?50?)
Aliens transplanted?
Alien Genetic experiment?
Dimensional travelers?
Hocus Pocus?

God

God Created Us.

Why?

No god

Random chance.
Escape from intergalactic war zones.
To Create a slave race for Aliens to use.
To make intelligent "game" for intergalactic hunters.
To escape the Evil Empires of Skeleton.
To prove that magic works.
Hocus Pocus.

God

to know him and to worship him.

What is the purpose of life?

No god

....uhm ... is there one? .... I know... 43
no, that's the meaning... I give.
No, wait! Better yourself...uhm.. but for what?

God

To grow, learn, love God, and develop your soul for the next place that God has for us.

Where did the universe come from?

No god

I have no idea - - It must have always been. No clue, no real grasp.

God

Gods creation. Apparently for the purpose of containing life capable of producing - educating - developing souls that have the opportunity to grow and become thus closer to God.

The point is: The theory that there is an active and interested God works.
The theory that there is none does not work, answers no questions, in fact only creates more.
In point of fact, there is NO reason to take the stance that there is no god.

Ok, now that I've got that out of my system. If you don't agree with me, mail me and give me your argument peter@outfitters.com. I'll try to respond if I can.
