God is not real, Fact

[Anonymous]

Im a catholic, I go to church every Sunday.. though I do not believe in the whole Adam and Eve story, I do believe, infact, I know Jesus was black.. it'd be like

Roman Leader: FIND JESUS
Soldiers: What does he look like?
Leader: Hes the only white guy in da village!!11one



Anyway, the scientific evolution story I DO believe, but I believe a force (made of wind/gas) made the big bang happen, and people have named this force ''God''.

right when i was coming home by plane i thought



if adam and eve where humans
they where both white, right?

So why do we have black people?

Even if someone has responded here is the answer:

When you live in a hot country and you are white your children that are born generally go darker skinned, which is just like being tanned. You go darker skinned to protect you from the solar radiation. If you think about it eskimos are white, and people in hot countrys are generally black.

People who are saying god doesn't exist you never know if he does or not. As people say he created the world and all that is in it. Science would be unable to find a trace of god he did make everything as why would he leave a trace if he doesn't want to be found out. (I said he but I mean he/she)

Why wouldn't he want to be "found"?

How would anyone know but think. What would happen if god was proven real and was a normal human. Think about what happens to celebritys.

What does this mean plz?

[shok]

What the hell? Why not? Surely people can debate the issue and argue their case if they want to.
I think what you mean is that nobody should be able to force you to beleive something different.

So you are a cathloic but you think God was the big bang? thats a first..

Why wouldn't he want to be "found"?

a few reasons
its hard to explain but its like just say you know when people moan and go on about saying " GOD ISNT REAL I PRAY FOR HIM TO HEAL MY CANCER BUT HE DOESNT" right take thta for example just think if he came to earth of whatever i dont know and cured the cancer everyone would start asking for cures, then people would start expecting to much from him and i dont know turn against him for example, like many people have said its up to YOU whether you believe in God, so basically god is saying I exist if you believe i do and if you don't i do not exsist

I don't think you're wrong there but i don't really "agree" with any of those kind of arguements as i don't believe he exists in the first place, in whatever form.

Oh no... Someone has suggested God is a human being, I won't begin to argue about how that will not work. But I suppose I will.

God is not human, because a human body is imperfect and cannot possibly hold the powers to create the world or do any other of his 'miracles.' God is only represented as a human because we could easily relate to him, he could be invisible or a puff of glittery smoke in some other dimension. So if God did 'come to earth,' the chances of him making himself known is little anyway. Also, the bible suggests he isn't a human being, because a human being is a physical thing, not something imaginary like it is portrayed as today. God appears to people normally as a ray of light, or a 'vision' which is normally just a delusion.

God is pre-existent and infinital, in His own words "I am all there was and all there ever will be" or something like that. Something existing outside/before the Universe would not exist in time. I think it's a subject people think too hard about though. People aren't meant to know God exists as a fact, you're meant to believe in him out of faith. That's probably the most basic reason behind free will.

I'm not religious but that is a great paragraph. People yelling out "GOD ISN'T REAL YOU'RE STUPID FOR BELIEVING HIM" is to me much more annoying than Bible-bashers, because in my experience Christians are much more likely to accept that other people have different beliefs than atheists are to accept a Christian belief without trying to argue it all the time.
Also note everyone that whilst you're talking about "God", you're thinking pretty narrowly. Every time God has come up in this thread it's been the Judeo-Christian deity, and I accept that that's probably because the thread was about a Bible story, but still I don't think that people wanting to talk in depth about the existence of a god should limit it to God with a capital G.

Off topic slightly but in reference to the talk about the Big Bang theory: it has never been professionally argued that the Big Bang was the first thing to ever occur or exist, it is simply an event (or the event) that created the universe as it physically exists. Therefore the argument "something must have caused it therefore the theory is wrong" doesn't work, as the theory covers that itself.

I am doubtful of God creating the universe and the big bang theory. Both seem unlikely, because what caused the big bang and what did God do before the creation of the universe? What happened before 'God's beginning?'
