I ask a Christian for proof God exists. He tells me the Bible says so. I ask who wrote the Bible? God, of course.
See what is happening here? It's called circular logic. There's poetry in the Bible, there's crap in the Bible.
It's a book written by men of antiquity. One thing I wouldn't ever do, is entrust my spirituality to it.
For ancient men, I prefer the words of Lao Tsu and Siddartha. As for Christ, I prefer the Gospel Of Thomas.
No one knows how the universe began, if it began at all. Science is just guessing. no harm in that, but they don't accept their guess work as Gospel. As far as what I believe, I have no idea. I don't concern myself with how the universe came to be, it's a fool's errand to even try.
Don't be silly.
No one knows, no one will ever know. Life is a mystery, it will be a mystery forever, it has been a mystery forever.
If you claim you know, you are a liar. "Knowledge", mankind has only a flicker of consciousness, he has only scratched the surface of the universe, he barely knows anything. Mankind is a baby just poking his head into the greater community of the universe, like a newborn babe coming into the world.
we are young, and we do not know much. You'd be a fool to think otherwise.
The most brilliant man in history, said: "The only true knowledge is knowing you know nothing". ---Socrates
Man knows data about material things, science has uncovered some of life's secrets, but nature is not going to let man have all her secrets, no way is she going to do that. but as for as philosophy, religion, the nature of things, etc., it's just man's quest to figure out the universe, and the best he can do is not believe it as fact, and accept it for what it is, in truth, fanciful guesswork.
