I don’t aim to hurt anyone feelings but my
opinion as a strong atheist, is what I will jott down here and that we can in
fact prove that god does not exist in the physical world.
Talking of beginnings and
endings makes no sense if there is no clarity in the way we regard what we
don't yet know.
I claim that this god is
not a god! To say that god is universe - by getting knowledge of the universe
we get knowledge of god - is to redefine the meaning of the word god. ‘Bing
Bang’ was the reason for the universe creation and nothing else. This has nothing
to do with the word God as it was defined by the "primitive" cultures
which preceded our present civilization.
There is no actual evidence for God's existence.
For example:
- God has never left any physical evidence of his existence on earth.
- All historical gods were imaginary and we know it.
- None of Jesus' "miracles" left any physical evidence either.
- God has never spoken to modern man, for example by taking over all the television stations and broadcasting a rational message to everyone.
- The resurrected Jesus has never appeared to anyone.
- The Vedas we have is obviously the work of primitive men rather than God.
- When we analyze prayer with statistics, we find no evidence that God is "answering prayers."
- And so on…
Many people justify their faith with god as
an explanation. What is the meaning of life? Where does time and space come
from? Who created the physical constants? Because we lack knowledge of these
things - and maybe never will, since they are questions like "what is the
color of a second?" or "how does sound taste?" - god is there as
an explanation. Let's say that god is
the meaning of life, what then is the meaning of god? If god has a nature, who
created that nature? If god created time and space, how can god exist without
it? Since creation is an event in time, how could god create time? and who
created god?
Another way to disprove the almighty god is that omnipotence
leads to paradoxes. Also, if god knows everything, he knows what he will do in
the "future" (in any dimension, not necessary the time dimension). He
must have known that from the very start of his own existence.
If everything must have been created, then
god must have been created as well. If god is not created, then everything
mustn't have a creator.
Nobody really believes in God
Schopenhauer once said something like:
"Man can do anything he wants, but he can not want whatever
he wants."
Thesis is that people who claim to believe in
god do not really do so. They just wish to believe in god. They somehow feel
that their lives are meaningless without god, so they choose to close their
eyes to evidence against the existence of god.
After reading this post you may object and
say that god is beyond human understanding and can't be defined in scientific
terms.
This is your decision, no coercion here. But if
you want to be forgiven by God and come into a relationship with him, you can
do so right now by asking him to forgive you and come into your life. If you feel good , feel happy worshipping
stones & statues, if you are going to his place to get peace, carry on.
Everyone has their own believes. Respect to those !!!!
