Russia detects possible signal from "sun like star"

I am
Not trying to convince you. I am trying to illustrate why I don't believe.

As for Hinduism same deal.

Science convinces you Im guessing in most things but faith is a different thing.

You get on aeroplanes. You switch on you lights, you take antibiotics. You are probably vaccinated. You marvel
At landing stuff on mars, asteroids etc that's science. It works.,

I will stick to science and keep the need for a supernatural fix to films.

THats hard science baby....not string fuckin theory. (is that still good?)
No problem with science which converts into Mechanics, what do ya take me for?
Which brand of quantum physics is top of this weeks chart, and how;s the pre bang situation looking amongst the cool kids? still know more than the rest of us Aeroplane pointers?

I'm on your side here. I agree that the idea of a God murmering some words created us. At the same time I can't understand how a 'big bang' theory is the answer - it just creates more questions, starting with, what happened before the big bang?

We aren't in a position to answer all the questions or to command some divine knowledge, so we probably shouldn't be dicks to people who's beliefs are different to ours. That's what pushes us further to figuring it all out.

I'm not religious...all I'm saying is that the recognised fact of the universe is that first there was nothing...then there was something...that in itself is what could only be described as 'Magic' if you put it in today's context...you can't rule anything out

Sorry. The big bang theory is a load of cobblers. Invented by Stephen Hawkins as a trick to sell more wheelchairs. God told me.

Wouldn't trust either of them, they're both cunts. Flying Spaghetti Monster told me.

 

[aguero93:20]

the recognised fact of the universe is that first there was nothing

Why does this have to be true?

 

[mancityvstoke]

Not if the universe is a dog turd....first there was nothing...the dog shits ...there's our universe.

We could be microbial

I couldn't care less if Jesus existed or not.

For a mythical character to be depicted as telling everyone to love, forgive and accept one another is as valuable to human civilisation as any 'real life' event.

It's just a shame that mankind continues to squabble, complicate and butcher each other over such a simple message.

 

[Magicpole]

Interesting. But do you believe in the signal? In the possibility that it exists, or is it merely Humankind hoping for a signal...over to you Magicpole

A bit of all you said probably,

Our wanting to know can sometimes mean adding 2+2 can give us an elephant if we try to shoehorn evidence if it into preconceived beliefs about their existence.

As I said I believe there must be other intelligent life I'm not convinced they have already turned up to assist in some heavy lifting and maths to build stuff,

Or that they love to probe.

 

[IanBishopsHaircut]

Why does this have to be true?

It doesn't, but it seems to be the only thing most agree on...again though...it's as much a guess as anything

He also said that if you don't believe in him you die in a fire forever. Kinda not very nice.

So, on balance a complex and contradictory individual who seems to only offer love and all the nice things at a cost.
What happened to unconditional love?

Humans can do it and we are all with sin. What's his problem being better than us all and getting in board with that.

People cherry pick the nice stuff and ignore his controlling and bow to me or die in torment undertone.

He said it.

If you met a person who told you their partner loved them dearly but if they left them he would burn her to death , forever. What would you think of an individual with that mind set? Wouldn't you think he was fucked up in the head? Professing love at every turn, but, fail to adore and accept him and he turns into a right ****.

So, Even Jeezy Peezy can exhibit controlling and levels of sure retribution that is off the charts. Burning eternally?

But he loves you.

Do you rule the enormous duck out? Because if you do, then you must surely realise the silliness of an argument that "God" might exist. There's no evidence for that, just like there's none for the huge omnipotent duck, but the church of quackology does not as I understand it exist.

And if you DO believe that the universe was possibly created by a huge omnipresent duck, you're on the wrong meds.

And by the way, there's no recognised fact that the universe started with the big bang. There's opinions that the big bang was merely 1 such evident that was preceded by a big crunch and before that other big bangs. Or possibly that the universe didn't start from a point source at all, it just got very small. Or that big bang events are caused when different branes in the multiverse come into contact with one another. I could go on.

But bizarre though some of these ideas may seem, they are founded on science, maths and logical thinking. What is not logical is to believe that if we cannot yet fully explain something, a "god" must have created it.
