Probality of God

I must say the "knowledge" part and the need to Punish ,always baffled me.

I was honestly Clueless about as well as the whole Knowledge Of Gods Secrets Etc........

Genesis makes no sense, because it is a highly (and badly) edited, cut down version of the Sumerian story of creation and the human lineage that followed it.

The sumerian version of creation, and human history therafter, up till the "great flood" and into contemporary sumerian times, was written nearly 4 thousand years before the judaists hacked it apart and incorporated it into the emerging new tanakh (hebrew bible).

Centuries later, christians decided to acknowledge their hebrew forbears by incorporating most of the tanack into the canonical works that christians were compiling, and which became known as the "old testament" and the "new testament". In line with their own viewpoint, genesis again, lost more of the original plot and meaning, because even the pre-edited hebrew version of the (Sumerian) creation story still hinted at more than one god. A loving, merciful, empathetic one, and an angry, vindictive, spiteful one.

That is totally unacceptable to monotheists like christians, hence the rewrite, which results in more mystery than enlightenment.

It's not just genesis that has been borrowed from the sumerians, but indeed, most of the "old testament" has its roots in ancient sumerian
culture. But, as they often say in TV documentaries - "all names and places have been changed to protect the innocent"

From a modern scientific point of view, when comparing the cosmology models offered by different religions, I think it is worthy to note that it is actually the ancient religion of hinduism, that most resembles modern cosmological thinking.

In fact, the hindu views of the nature of matter (vibratory energy) and time, and their ideas of the great cycles of creation (oscillating branes), are breathtaking in their philosophical depth and breadth. Their view of the immenseness of the universe, having a relatively short lived presence in an endless sea of time, is a view modern science is beginning to come to terms with.

It is a testimony to the human ability to reason and think logically, that the hindus could form a view of the material universe through philosophical reasoning alone, millenia ago, with modern science now forming similar views based on empirical data derived from both observation of naturally occuring phenomena and experimentally produced phenomena.

Hinduism is however a modern age enigma, because its views on fate and destiny are intertwined in such a way as to promote the segregation of people based on birth alone, within the caste system. A system which I surely disdain for its lack of equity and natural justice, and which I hope modern India eventually manages to discard altogether.

Message: It is better to believe though you didn't see it.


To see is to believe is NOT! the way of GOD!    Did you got it wilby!!!!!!!!!         


And therefore we conclude then that your way of falsification of finding the truth is useless,
and you have to admit that you cannot really see GOD in your way. as simple as that. 

cause God will really hide his self to you cause your way is not his way. Got that simple logic?.

got it bro? 

now if still you didn't got  it then , I DON'T KNOW TO YOU ! YOU! , YOU!

Bruce, your quote bears repeating:


For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.  (Romans 1:18-25)

Who could have said it better?

On the day of Intervention, fast approaching, who is able to stand?  The thoughts of man are transparent to God....a fact of which He reminds us in mysterious ways.  For instance, we think our selves clever and wise to be able to visit the depths of the sea.  Where we discover creatures such as this:

Only, by and large, to attribute such amazing engineering to blind, dumb, chance....All is 'transparent' to our Creator.


Yes indeed, the Words at Romans 1:18-25 were never truer than they are today.

thank you AGAIN for ANOTHER tacit admission that you do not consider yourself logical, reasonable and scientific... since you have repeatedly refused to present the methods you used to falsify all the other gawds humanity has created and have repeatedly refused to present the methods you used to validate your gawd.

if your imaginary godfairy savior/creator friend doesn't like the way i live... let him tell me, not you.
