Christianity Etc › Re: Could The Universe Exist Without A Creator? by rhektor(m): 7:30pm On Nov 20, 2016 |
GrizzlyBear: The thing about humans is that we tend to excogitate ideas about our world, through our perception of it. And this is also what's at the root of religious beliefs. We tend to ascribe agency to our environment. We think, that since this is how it is in our world, then this must have been how it happened.
Humans evolved consciousness to the level of understanding our environment and aiding our survival. I don't think we have evolved the cognitive capacity to understand something outside of our environment. I don't think we possess the understanding and level of consciousness to comprehend whatever it was that engineered the creation of our universe and the other million universes that exist. It's simply beyond our scope of reasoning and understanding. Maybe in a million years to come we would, but given our level of consciousness and scientific knowledge, we possibly can't in our generation.
That's why I laugh when I see people make claims about the creator of the universe and attribute humanly traits to it, like father and son, and even claim that he demands their worship, speaks to them, answers their prayers, watches them when they are alone, stalks their everyday movements and activities, loves them unconditionally, punishes them when they break moral principles that were obviously humanly constructed, wants a personal relationship with them, and would punish those who don't believe in him in hell for all eternity. Not only does this represent a severe case of delusion and intellectual vacuousness, it also represents how self conceited humans are.
I think questions like this indicate a huge gap in our knowledge and understanding about our world, especially given the fact that we are anthropomorphic species that love to seek patterns in our environment. But the truth is that we simply don't have answers to this question of whether the universe has a creator or not, and what the nature of the creator is. However, a serious problem arises when we decide to fill up these holes in our knowledge with delusions and concoctions, or religious beliefs, like we all commonly refer to them as.
Doesn't it baffle anyone that the most subscribed knowledge we have about the origin of our world and it's supposed creator was presented by desert dwelling folks who lived 4000 years ago? Doesn't anyone find this unsettling? I mean, even if anyone was to propose a widely accepted and well subscribed explanation of the true nature of our world and it's creator, even if it's strewn with lies, at least let it be people from the 20th century and beyond. At least these people would be less ignorant and more morally sound. According to you only those in the 21st century has the right to claim there is a creator? Lol all these self acclaimed wise men |

Atiku is a power jobber, he'll fare no better than Buhari. What did both have in common? Both want to be president, both had run in different parties in the past. When Bubu finally become the president, it came as a shock to him hence he had no plans, no idea as to what to do he instead destroyed the economy with his obsolete economic methods. Whoever vote Atiku is equally setting Nigeria backwards many centuries. |

All these nonsense about missionary schools should stop please, quacks everywhere, how is this a news? How much are state owned school charging? How much do you all want the missionary schools to charge? Public Schools like Osun state University, Lagos state University, Olabisi Onabanjo University ago Iwoye (formerly Ogun State University) etc charges expensive fees. Meanwhile, all these missionary schools offer far more than those state owned schools. Nobody would raise an eyebrow. State schools which are always overcrowded are changing expensive fees, you people won't complain. All these hungry bloggers are out there just to ridicule the Christian faith however, many gullible Christians will take it in as much as their church is not mentioned it is OK. Mtchewwwwwwwww |

Famouson: I don't think things like this should be heard in churches... These school are way too expensive..I think Christians are losing it... How many expensive Muslim university do we have in Nigeria sef? I'm not trying to compare both religions, as I'm a Christian too.. May God help us.. These days everyone seems to be forgetting the core purpose of our creation. Most people are now running after earthly possession.. Ile aye, ile asan. You can as well answer yourself. Missionary schools will be expensive because they offer quality and not quantity. They pay their bills from tuition fees remember? Have you and others who think missionary schools should be free or less expensive thought of the running cost? |

Don't take the kafri as friends yet you want to seek asylum in their land? Hypocrisy Why not stay in your country where you can find like minds? Where you can carry out the laws of Allah. Muslims are tired of the tyranny in Islam. A more reason why they are deserting their own countries. |

PaperLace: If these armed robbers handle you, you'll kill them all at sight. Before a particular incident, I was vehemently against jungle justice but right now_ as long as it's meted out on the right person(no juvenile ...), I am game.
The memory of how his ilk tortured my darling husband remains fresh in my head. Chai! I cried that night... I thought it was kidnap, I waited for ransom call_ I tire! Even after collecting the money, they still held him hostage and tortured him till he bled from every point, even broke his skull.
I saw my husband in the state they left him,with all the agu nwanyi I am known for, I started crying. I was just wondering where I would start from as a widow and single mum <25.
They can take all the money, we would make double. Why kill? Why put an end to a life you can't create?
Is jungle justice good? No. 'but you just need to have an encounter with these guys.
If I get the modafuckers that tortured my husband that day, I will roast their body and soul!!!
Surprisingly, when my husband opened his eyes and saw me. He said "my fine wife, so another man for just carry you_ shey you will remarry na?"...lols. So true that once you've been a victim of these cruelers, you'll never feel any pity for them whenever they are being treated this way. I have been a victim several times, in fact in my community they will come at night with rage break in torture maim and cart away people's properties, however two wrongs can never be right. After beating the notorious imp, I still think he should have been handed over to the police. I am having that feeling that some members of his gang are part of those that made sure he was killed just to silence him from mentioning them. I don't know if people are getting this same feeling |

The funniest thing is that some of those who killed the boy could be member of the gang of robbers, they would kill whoever is caught to protect the identity of the rest. If that boy was released to the police he might mention them. Killing him is a way of silencing him forever. This is why jungle justice should not be accepted for any reason |

Now to the op "it was such a monstrous being, such that,..... " I guess that monster is giving you sleepless night's nights that is why you always self-service here on religious section.
