The existence of God!

Published:

I have some basic questions that i hope somebody can answer.

How can the universe be only about 6 thousand years old, when it takes billions of light years for the light from those galaxies to reach our eyes?

Second question: Why would god give us a tool called brains, in order to think, rationalize, interpret, invent, build monumental structures, fly to the moon, create economical systems, televise, computerize, and on, yet, when it comes to examining our existence, it's all of a sudden taboo. Yeah! you can be analytical about everything else, but not the most important thing of all....your existence...yeah....just believe..don't use your brain in this area. C'mon!

Next question: How can god create a universe that has no end? If I show you a coffee cup, it's a done deal. You can't say that about empty, endless space. The job can never be done. Please explain...Thanx.

How can God blame Adam for eating of the apple, when Adam , at that point had no knowledge of good and evil? Until he ate of the fruit, is when his eyes were opened. It's like blaming a caveman for not knowing how to turn the light on in a room by just flicking the switch. Ignorance can't be used as a justification of wrong doing. Please explain> Thanx.

Next question: There are, and have been countless religions who've  proclaimed that they are the true path to the ultimate truth. Countless, from worshipping the planet saturn, to worshipping the sun itself. They all can't be right. The muslims think the christians are wrong, and vice versa. Do the same with all others. It's endless.

It's inate in all of us to find order among chaos. To have societies that function as normally as possible.

There have been many studies done on randomness. Creationists believe that everything is fixed. Agnostics and athiests believe that given enough time, inanimate objects will produce amino acids, the basic building blocks of life, to emerge. It's always been this way. Why do people need a confirmation for any reason for a creator? Why can't it been this way all along, and that we just happened to of been sprouted, born, unto this, that has been here all along. Why does there have to be any reason in the first place, not just for humans, but all of it?

Thousands of years ago, people didn't have the tools of modern science at their disposal, so they explained away the mysteries they couldn't understand, by implementing that a higher force was responsible. These days with the advent of updated scientific knowledge, pretty much all of those misunderstandings can be easily explained, which is another point of mis-guided information of yore.

 A good example is where in the bible it was said that the moon hangeth upon nothing, meaning that they couldn't understand how such a large object in the sky was being supported with no strings attached to something. They weren't aware of the lack of gravity in space, where an object can float. Again, mis-understanding. I can go on and on, but will spare you all.

Will be writing more about this, as a multi-part essay coming soon to a blog near you...LOL

Aha, Pac, my friend. It seems the "basic questions" you ask are predicated from your point of view of what or who God is. Perhaps you have created a God in your own image?

I gaze at the heavens and see myriads of twinkling stars and I behold God. I hear the chirping of birds, and the bubbling of sparkling brooks and I behold God. I could go on and on but I will spare you, my friend.

I agree csfb, given ebough time, like billions of years, anything is possible. Most people can't fathom the idea of billions of years. That is a very very very very long time. Actyually, most people I talk to about things in general, use the words millions and billions loosley, as if they are close in definition, not realizing the huge differences.

To show a perspective, a million seconds is 11 days, a billion seconds is 32 years.
