@Hercules3000 I don't think so.

Thanks for the comment...
We can know before the sure day comes.

@Hercules3000 Unfounded assumption? You're the one making the unfounded assumption. Now you're using strawmen in the argument? No, I'm not a flat Earther. Happy? Does that prove your point any better? You have the gall to accuse ME of making the unfounded assumption when you are the one claiming we will answer ALL QUESTIONS with advanced technology in the future, no matter how philosophical they are? How do you suppose we will do that when there is no technology that allows us to do it now or even lends any credence to the notion that it can even remotely be possible in the future? We're lucky we make it through the next 50-100 years as a civilization with the crap going on now including climate change.

God is unknowable and unprovable. How would you know it's just not a trick of some kind? Or a more powerful or knowledgeable being that isn't a "God" in the traditional sense of the word, but just more powerful than you? The human mind is severely flawed and tuned to perception. There is no "true" reality. Will we have a machine that can magically determine if it's God through the energy in the air that it reads? Nonsense! If a person from a civilization that was 1,000,000 years ahead of us in every aspect of our society came to the Earth and could levitate their body, give us medicine through the touch of their finger and cure all diseases, and then have food pop up around the entire world, would you call them God? Do fish in someone's fishbowl think they are God? They have no perception of anything outside of their fishbowl. Someone makes food fall from the sky and magically cleans the water with a filter. One day all the fish suffer and are dying because their God abandoned them or decided to kill them by not giving them food or clean water. Is it true that that person is "God"? We don't have nearly enough faculty to be able to determine something like that when we can't even do it for things right here on Earth in our own perceptions of TANGIBLE things in our existence.

You're so sure we will evolve into these all knowing beings, which in turn would be perceived as us being Gods ourselves. Utter nonsense!

@Hercules3000 It's nice how you also left the second part of my quote off to try and prove your point. Some of my fellow liberals really are cunts.

@Hercules3000 Make sure you take pics of your strawman costume for Halloween.

Oh and please direct me to the study in a science journal on whether or not God exists being that it's not a philosophical discussion.

@Hercules3000 yawn

@Hercules3000 Says the person that started the convo with insults. Fuck off.

@Hercules3000 Trust me, I would do it in person too. You might think everyone else is a bitch, but you are sadly mistaken. Now you want to fucking insinuate an in person meeting would turn me into jello? Lol

@Hercules3000 This motherfucker is going to insult me and then when I throw it back at him will threaten me with an in person meeting and then call me childish lol. Damn bitch, have you been diagnosed by a psychologist?

@Hercules3000 An "across the pond" BITCH making a physical threat. And I'm the coward? Lol

@Hercules3000 You don't want it bitch. You just don't know lol

@Hercules3000 Go argue with someone who will submit to your insecure macho bullshit. I'm not the one bitch. You are the weakest link, goodbye.

Oh and by the way, Flat Earth Conspiracists are mostly believers and religious. One more argument that proves you have shitty powers of deduction and understanding.

[thehuxleyagnostic.quora.com]

@Hercules3000 I agree, laptop warriors amuse me. You just keep repeating what I say to you and denying that you both insulted me and threatened me....and then you insult and threaten me again lol. You're not the sharpest knife in the drawer lol. Stop projecting your bullshit. Nothing gangsta about me. I'm just a fucking animal when someone attacks me. Ok, so give me an address where you want me to meet you and I'll whoop your ass. Is that what you want old man? Lol. Stupid cunt. Fuck off with your pseudo macho bullshit.

@Hercules3000 I'm as old as your IQ, 39 lol

@Hercules3000 Right, well I'm glad we were able to figure this out, so keep backing up and go back to letting me study how we evolved from chimps to whatever you are now.

@Hercules3000 I'm 6'2" and 287 pounds. An ex-athlete with an obvious temper. You might be in shape, but your jaw doesn't have muscle. Don't let the roids go to your head bitch. Make sure you inject yourself in your ass so only your lover sees the needle holes. Good talk. Have fun.

@Hercules3000 No shit. It was an insult genius. I highly doubt you have a PHD in theoretical physics. All throughout this thread you insult people and contradict yourself. You've also put words in people's mouths and used strawmen arguments as well as not been able to have proper grammar. I will be blocking you now loony.

@Hercules3000 You need to work on your grammar Mr. PHD.

Thanks for the comment...
What you said is probably true...
But not compeletely sure,friend.

Thanks for the comment.
Whatever,It sounds funny,haha.

Thanks for your comment.
And thank you for your wish,I will be good to others.

Thanks for the comment(ฅ>ω<*ฅ)

Maybe.Thanks for the comment.

Then I need to wait for several years haha...
Thanks for your comment.

@Hercules3000 and that is a possibility. If simulations at the level of our universe are possible then the number of simulations should far out number the number of "real" universes. Obviously there would have to exist some "real" universes but the simulated ones could be nested several layers deep.

I'm not claiming that physicists have found the answer by the way. I'm just startled at some of the truths about our universe that we have discovered in the last 50 years and the simulation hypothesis is one of the explanations that is being taken seriously by theoretical physics. (Believe it or not this is really something that has moved into the mainstream of physics discussion.)

Thanks a lot for sharing.
Truths help us get closer to the answer.

Thanks for the logical comment.
I feel more clear about my question now.
I guess there is "it" who has power to do things without followering natural rules.
Now....I need to collect evidence about this....
Thank you.

Thanks for the comment.
That is a point...I will try others,too.

I disagree. I think humans function on faith all the time but the question is in what they place their faith. Religions want you to have faith in things you haven't ever seen or experienced before and that you don't expect to see or experience in this life. You are asked to exercise faith in a being by talking to it even though you can't see it or hear any response.

On the other hand, you can exercise faith in things that you can see and experience. For example, you likely have faith that when you put your food in a microwave and turn it on your food it will come out hot. You won't know for sure until it is finished but because you've had the experience of heating your food in a microwave over and over, you have a great deal of faith that you will get the same results.

I do agree that faith can be used in dishonest ways but I don't think that in and of itself it is a dishonest idea. I think it's more a matter of the meaning of the word having been twisted to serve religious interests. I still believe that every time you plant a seed and take care of it, you are exercising faith. It's just that your faith is much better founded in reality and honest expectations.

@Meili I was referring to religion only in particular Christianity that's what I'm most familiar.faith requires you to believe extrodinary events, and a invisible Man in the sky who knows all dispite endless amount of evidence to the contrary.in this case you actually have to deny reality,remain ignorant which the church relies on and have no rational, logical thinking at all.the more you educate yourself on this the more it makes logical sense.please don't get me wrong, I would like to go to heaven and live for eternity, unfortunately sound reasoning suggest otherwise. That's why life is so precious cause it's so short.personally I intend to make the absolute best of my time.

@RichardLeek I agree with you completely there. I think the reason why this is important to me is because it was through my new understanding that faith actually should be based on something you can confidently have faith in, that I was able to overcome the idea that I should be exercising faith in an invisible being. According to the Christian mentality, if I don't have faith in Jesus, he can't save me. My faith in him was fear based, fear of consequences I could not verify.

Now I can and do have faith. I have faith in flowers growing, I have faith in my car running well for a long time, I have faith in my child growing and learning. I even have faith that my ex will continue acting like an ass. All those things might not actually happen but I have enough confidence that they will that I can plan my life around them.

Sorry to be all preachy but my life has improved so much over these changes that I have a hard time keeping quiet about it.

@Meili I'm glad that some things are say may be of help to you and you talk about fear of not believing with that in mind I'd like to point out that that's one thing that Christianity teaches us that if you don't believe you will suffer a fate worse than death that would be hell torment torture pain agony. you know that doesn't sound like an all loving God to me. I'm not trying to sway your opinion in any way people believe what they want to believe I just like to pass on what I've learned and what I absolutely believe is the truth. Everything science says can be absolutely proven both directly and indirectly and wat it don't know it admits that it don't know and that's really where I stand on the truth. On the other hand a lie is a deliberate attempt to deceive and when people try to get you to believe things that aren't true that's exactly what's happening and I want to know when I'm being lied to the when somebody is telling me the truth. I have a personal motto, truth is what the facts are!

Thanks for the comment..
I see...I may need finish reading the bible to know more about the belief systerm.

Thanks for the comment...
Feel lonely by thinking this way.

Thanks for the comment and thank you.O(∩_&capO

Thanks for the comment.
Because the Christian usually use he to express god...
I will use 'it' after this...
Have known some about the experiments.Thanks

@Ann7Mignon to elaborate a bit: the theorem proves that formal systems can't tell anything certain about themselves. The experiments show that we are part of the system we try to formally understand. Hence... Most physicists are in fact convinced (Einstein, Hawking among them) that for those reasons a theory of everything is impossible to achieve. Good digging!

Thanks for the comments...
Because those things make me feel strange...
And I even went through some strange things which is not scientific but feel so true....

I can say....I am struggling with it....but I am sober and need to prove with true evidence.

@Ann7Mignon you cannot prove the NONexistence of anything. you can use facts and evidence to determine likelihood.

g

I have asked several ordained ministers that same exact question and got the same exact answer every single time. Faith. Again because there is no evidence so therefore it evidently isn't true and it can be dismissed without evidence just like in a court of law. Faith is actually a dishonest position to have in religion it requires you to deny reality, in particular everything that science has proven to be true, and believe in something even though there's a mountain of evidence that would suggest otherwise. In the book of fables Jesus said that he would return before all of his disciples had passed away well that's been about 1900 years ago safe to say we been stood up.

Thanks for the comments.
I will try when I give up

Thank you( •̀∀•́ )

@Ann7Mignon

The Owl is a symbol of Great Knowledge.

Haha,I will be as you said.
Thanks for the comment.

Puppies die?

@Meili
...or sometimes kittens.

@skado Oh, dear . . .

Thank you .Best wishes to you.

@Ann7Mignon
Thanks.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for your comment...
Well....It's just that I experienced some things last year...and they changed my little world or I 'll say they changed the way I see this big world....
So....I need find an answer.

@Ann7Mignon In my opinion, if you need to find an answer, it will not be from any human, as you will only get opinions, but must come directly from the "god" that you seek.

Thanks for your comment.
I will learn more about what you introduced...
Thanks again.

@Hercules3000 there is so much ahead of us to develop and/or discover. I'll give you that much, however if you look at the trend, the more we learn the closer we get to establish God as a man invention out of necessity and not the other way around

@Hercules3000 It seems to me that you are still holding on hoping there is a God and clearly I am NOT. Just so we are clear, I don't have any intentions in the slightest possible way to prove you wrong. You can see things your way, I do hope
you can honor the same courtesy.

@Hercules3000 got it, ok

Thanks for the comment.
I am glad that we have brains to think about these crazy questions so life won't be just surviving....

@Ann7Mignon thanks for the question. There's so much to talk about and discover, but sadly only one life. We will do what we can.
