A) did i once use the word God? No
B) you are looking with your eyes and not your heart. your logic blinds you.
C) attributing something other than us as totalitarian creators is very unselfish and very un-human.
D) attributing One source other than mutiple sources is very sophisticated....in that ancient peoples had 1,000s of gods, lighting water etc....
and this sophistication dwelt long before ancient pantheons....yet i still call is sophisticated? think about it
E) if we are mere viruses or 'insignifcant' species?....do we not treat those same viruses (in relation to us) with some respect?....validity? do not underestimate your value and that value to your Creator.
F) if we are experiments of the aliens who made the aliens.....simplicity (monotheism) is paramount......or in NT terms why busy random shoes never hold the same weight as simple classic designs do (Adidas 1970's forest green suede celtics halfshells, AJ 3's or Air Force 1s for example)
G) i never said anything about some italian painters rendition of a white bearded "god" on a cloud as being the end all be all.....im very much above eurocentrism (even if i succumb to it- as we all do - SOMETIMES).
H) predators being created equal is right....youre right were not all created equal....hence checks and balances.....some gigantic fish alien from outer space could some smite us right now but thats not to say we are insignificant or w/o meaning
I) you say religion has way of oversimplifying the complex.....you hit the nail on the head......this world this organization of matter is very complex.....but to break it down into simplest terms (back to one source) how graceful and ultimate is that? just think about that. really. as i have thought about EVERYTHING you said in relation to my posts
J) The Bible says 1000 years in our terms is but a day to the Lord (proverbs i believe). so when the Bible says 3,000 years existence whatever is relative....dont read too much into it. i havent
K) finally, i like how you say how insignificant we are....honestly i do....we are supposed to be humble and not haughty....youre on the right path. you and all non believers of the ONE SOURCE are close......"The Kingdom Of Heaven Is At Hand"
For the record what I said about aliens and our "insignificance" is a theory, wasn't meant to be read that as fact. It's a theory that is JUST as plausible or possibly more than anything that is written in the bible. We have no idea what God is, for a species that plays "God" all the time how could it not be plausible that we're simply some higher and more intelligent being's experiment.
I don't think human beings are insignificant, but I do think it is possible that we are insignificant from the perspective of whatever "God" is out there. The God in the bible sent a flood that destroyed all human beings without thinking of the children and possibly innocent people he could have killed. Clearly we're somewhat insignificant in his/her/its eyes. This is very different from me saying life on planet earth is insignificant, pay attention to the wording. I value "this life" and I wish my fellow man would get through "this life" as comfortably and pain-free as possible, learn and experience as much as you can, make a positive contribution to future generations. If certain people placed as much value on this life as I did, there would be no people killing themselves in hopes of scoring with virgins in the afterlife.
Yo open your eyes B and think with your heart....I love that one. Whenever you don't believe in someone's unproven theories that's their go to response. Oh my God!!! you believe in a different God than I do....think with your heart not your own logic.
Would it be any different if I told you sir that I actually did believe in a God and he's a very very very old God....older than whatever God you worship and he is in fact the right God. What would your response be? Oh bdw the God has a trillion heads, with hair of spaghetti, can teleport like Noob Saibot and a penis that stretches infinitely across the universe. And this God masturbated everything into existence.
Your God is the wrong God.
Someone has a very different idea of what God is than you do, myself included...except mine are simply various very plausible theories of a higher being.
Oh my bad, replace everytime I said "God" with "Creator" if that makes you sleep better at night
