Do you believe in a source of all that exists?
How about a singularity, fourteen billion years back?
How about a singularity, fourteen billion years back?
Maybe some day you'll meet the happy Cliffy?Take your eyes off the right wing religious nut cases. There are two things going on at all times; Yin/Yang. The Universe is always seeking balance. For every one who lowers his IQ to that of a knuckle dragger, one other raises above it all. There is no god separate from everything in the Universe. The Universe created itself and we are made of the same stuff as the Universe.
Yes that's all very impressive.AN AGE CRISIS?
If we compare the two age determinations, there is a potential crisis. If the universe is flat, and dominated by ordinary or dark matter, the age of the universe as inferred from the Hubble constant would be about 9 billion years. The age of the universe would be shorter than the age of oldest stars. This contradiction implies that either 1) our measurement of the Hubble constant is incorrect, 2) the Big Bang theory is incorrect or 3) that we need a form of matter like a cosmological constant that implies an older age for a given observed expansion rate.

Because people want to believe in something and are vulnerable prey for the parasites.I don't see how his "flock" can't see what's going on. He must be very careful which things he gives sermons on...

Exactly. What started off as superstition to explain natural events has morphed into a crutch for a few billion people. And just like any crutch, this one is likely to cost you as well.Because people want to believe in something and are vulnerable prey for the parasites.

I once listened to an interview on 60 minutes with the statesman William Sloan Coffin. The interviewer Mike Wallace asked Mr. Coffin, " if there is a just and merciful god, then why does "He" allow all the suffering and injustice in the world.? Coffin paused , and then said, god may ask all of us, "why do you allow it?"Yes, I think you're right. I've read several times from believers "if you don't believe in a god, then what have you to live for?" I guess is gives some a reason to continue on.
Humans are so smart and yet...
You do realize that's not an answer, right?I once listened to an interview on 60 minutes with the statesman William Sloan Coffin.

Yes......You do realize that's not an answer, right?
I don't know who William Slow Coughin' is, but he's dishonest.Yes......
Well he's dead now.I don't know who William Slow Coughin' is, but he's dishonest.
Probably cured that slow cough.Well he's dead now.
Because he agreed to an interview, then decided to be cutesy instead of answering the question.Why is he dishonest though? Are we as humans not responsible for much of the way things are?
I tell them I live for my family and for myself.Yes, I think you're right. I've read several times from believers "if you don't believe in a god, then what have you to live for?"
Yes......
It was a good point though.
"Everyone needs something to believe, and I believe I'll have another drink."I tell them I live for my family and for myself.
I like Futurama's take on it. IF you do too much, people get dependent on you. If you don't do enough people lose faith in you. But if you do everything just right, nobody will know you did anything at all.
No it wasn't. It was an evasion.Yes......
It was a good point though.
