Re: Teaching liberals why we have religion:
I take issue with the word created, that implies a creator. The Big Band happened. Why would it have needed a creator? And the law of conservation of energy does not imply a creator. I don't understand your point about APT.
I do realize that the Trinity is a construct of the human mind, as is Religion .(All religions) AS I mentioned in previous post religion is man's attempt to understand his own existence. I didn't express it exactly like that but this is something that I hold true. In that effort man has tried to justify his notions of God by asserting certain arguments. Two such arguments are :God always was and always will be. (A vague description of Energy) ANd to try to help one understand the Trinity, religious leaders offer {Water in it's three different states as an example) My point was that the religious descriptions of God and the Trinity have a certain correlation withwhat we know from the observable world.
So to your point: (There is not one shred of evidence that God exist.) Perhaps God can not be proven by scientific terms. But one does have to accept that existence in itself is a mystery. We know that when people or other creatures copulate generally the result is a birth. WE can see that it was the fertilization of an ovum that produced this event. We can see that taking a tiny seed and placing it in the ground that some type of plant will grow. We also see that the sperm, seed and ovum comes from the parent. What I'm saying is timeless. We have never gotten past this point ,have we? You can subscribe to the Big Bang Theory. O.K. But the expansion and the collapse of space matter is a description of an event but how did the matter exist? What created that matter?
And if that matter was created by something, then what created the creator? The implications to me are frightening, beautiful and mysterious.
Within all living things (energy exist) The Mitochondria. The power house of all muscle tissue is useless from a dynamic point of view without A D P (Adenasine Di phosphate) Spelling is wrong but I think you know what I'm talking about. But A D P has to be converted to ATP (Adenosine tri phosphate) in order for muscle movement to occur. Without that conversion, that synthesis reaction, an organism is said to be in rigamortis. I miss spelled that word too. But you know what I mean. With out A T P what we know as life has vanished. Where has it gone?
If our bodies or the bodies of all other things are left to decompose, the life cycle is still in tact. Plants use death for their life and animals use plants for their life. It's and endless cycle. (World without ending amen.) But what we know as the world doesn't have to be. We are seeing global climatic events take place before our very eyes. Where we are going with these events is not the subject at hand but if we look at other planets we are told that some may have been like planet earth. But even in their barren state , they play a role in the cosmic environment. And within their own atmosphere some type of environmental system exist. Energy is still present. (World without end, Amen) We are not the center of existence. Existence wasn't created exclusively for us. Perhaps we have the ability to modify and utilize and even save the environment from ourselves, for our own well being but that doesn't mean that creation was created for our purposes. Existence is the sole mystery. Why does anything exist? Why do we have the ability to ask ,Why?
