A serious question for any who believe in any God of any religion who think God is interested in humans.

by smiddy in

the world health organization states that in the year 2015 ,5.9 million children died under the age of 5 years of age.. in 2010 the death rate for children under the age of 5 years of age was 7.6 million.

thats over 13 million in just 2 years .

i dont think you need to be a rocket scientist to conclude that since mankind has been on the earth for however long you want to believe and i`m just going on a conservative estimate of 6000 years by the above figures i quoted their would be billions of children under 5 yearsof age that would have died.

smiddy,

To your question "Whether God is concerned about the deaths of Billions of children under 5 years of age and he does nothing?" there is no acceptable answer.

But that does not mean God does not exist because my experience is that He does exists. This conclusion I made by observing what is happening within me: Suppose you went to a shop in a commercial street in the evening, and are having a dream of it later in the night. And in the dream, you correctly read the name board of the shop you visited yesterday. However, name boards of the nearby shop you see in your dream may not match with reality! This means mind simply recalled what it could and completed the picture with imaginary details (which obviously means that mind is engaged in some creation work). Not only in dream, even in real life mind acts in the same manner. Try to remember a big gathering you attended in the past, and your mind would supply both truth and fabricated information—picture of some people around you in the gathering will be correct and others will be mind’s creation. Then there is another interesting situation. Someone passed a harmful gossip about another, and I passed it to another. Now unlike we always do, pause for a moment and ask “Why did I do that?” and listen for the answer. If you put your mind into real silence, it will tell you: “You passed that harmful information about Mr X because he did not support your ego sometime back.” From where did come this godly answer? Not from the mind which joyfully prompted you to pass the gossip in the first place. But it came from an immaterial part within me which resembles the Supreme Soul without.

Infinity versus nothing

by Fisherman in

some people like to believe in something others believe in nothing; so in what location did the substance that expanded into the time/space universe exist before the big bang?

where did the energy that caused the big band come from?

how did the substance that became the big bang change from being inert and sterile and come to life to having the properties and drive that it does?

There is still one thing overlooked by theists and atheists alike that works against their respective agendas.

If the universe is indeed so congenial to life, then why should it require an all-powerful creator to create it.

Or,if it wasn't at all congenial,then it might definitely require an omniscient being to make it happen. Either way, you lose.

I know that’s a “That's a non-answer.” I said so because we can only make an attempt on answer. We saw universe can cause itself endlessly. And at some point something immaterial has to start its operation! It is interesting to see some trying to explain consciousness in terms of the neural network of the brain, which may remind us about studying a radio but being unaware the power source, the battery, and coming to the conclusion that the wires generate the current which makes them function. Or It is like looking at the way the horse occasionally behave independently or disobediently, or stop, and ignoring the rider who is in control most of the time!

It seems many things about the mind/consciousness will remain as a mystery! For mind is not meant to know its own make-up, it is a subject, and all other things—including the brain which are obviously the object of study by the mind! From where does the ingenuity of Mind come? Why it thinks the way it does, especially in terms of time and space? For example we have a sense of past and future! When I remember something, I explicitly reach out of the present to something that is explicitly past. In the same way weighing the matters carefully and wisely, I can calculate certain things into the future! Strictly speaking, the sense of the past cannot exist in a physical system. This is consistent with the fact that the physics of time does not allow for tenses: Einstein called the distinction between past, present and future a “stubbornly persistent illusion”.

At what point immaterial entity comes into picture to make ‘inert and sterile bubble with life and the properties” may not be fully understand now. That is understandable. Yet, how far do we know what really happens within our own minds. Suppose you went to a shop in a commercial street in the evening, and are having a dream of it later in the night. And in the dream, you correctly read the name board of the shop you visited yesterday. However, name boards of the nearby shop you see in your dream may not match with reality!

I touched only your first two questions. Your third question (How did the substance that became the big bang change from being inert and sterile and come to life to having the properties and drive that it does?) only God can answer.

Fisherman and smiddy,

The concept that universe causing itself is no more difficult to understand. Today, with more advances in astro and particle physics we've come to realize it which immediately led to a wild search for verification. Thus physicists went out of their trodden ways seeking the so-called God particle while psychologists claimed they had located the God part of the brain. The idea was to enfold divinity in an empirical mould. But cosmologists are fairly certain now that the coming into being of the universe was due to something called a `vacuum fluctuation' because a void is not the same thing as no-thing. It teems with virtual particles that come in and go out of existence all the time. It teems with potential. It causes universes at will.

I forgot to add: God is not required for creation! What is needed for creation is in the nature itself.

Yet this does not mean God does not exist.

To find an answer, let us ask some questions and get some answer, and reach a conclusion:

1) How much electrical charge exists in our universe?

Readers familiar with Coulomb’s principle of charge conservation would answer:

“Since electrical charge can never be created or destroyed but only separated, therefore, the total electrical charge in our universe is zero.”

2) How much momentum exists in our universe?

Readers familiar with Newton’s second principle of mechanics (written in its relativistic form) would answer: “For an isolated system such as our universe, the total momentum (both linear and angular) in our universe is zero.”

3) How much energy is contained in our universe?

Readers familiar with the first principle of thermodynamics (written in its relativistic form, which recognizes that mass is a form of energy, according to Einstein’s E =

mc2) would answer: “Since energy can be neither created nor destroyed but only changed into different forms, then the total energy of our universe is zero.”

I remember reading in Nature that the positive energy of all mass in the universe was approximately equal to the negative energy of space, which would mean “our Universe is simply one of those things that happen from time to time.”

Hence the question “What was before Big Bang?” does not arise.

thats over 13 million in just 2 years .

i dont think you need to be a rocket scientist to conclude that since mankind has been on the earth for however long you want to believe and i`m just going on a conservative estimate of 6000 years by the above figures i quoted their would be billions of children under 5 yearsof age that would have died.

opusdei1972, OUTLAW,

Your questions have already been answered long back by Jesus (Mathew 25:45) and recently by media. Globally, just 8 billionaires have the same amount of wealth as the poorest 50% of the world population. Then, more than half of the population are suffering from obese which means they waste the food (that also belong to the deprived) on their body, and burn it out by wasting their energy again on treadmill and other artificial exercise-machinery. Again, about 5.5 billion people -up to 76% of the world's population -are `overfat' who are also eating the food of the deprived. Governments wasting the resources on arms-industry is beyond our imagination. May be less than 1% of the total wastage would take care of all the physical needs of the deprived.

Serpent in the Garden of Eden is not Satan

by anointed1 in

many interpret serpent in the garden of eden as the satan hence miss the whole point because satan himself does not exist.

he is a fictional character [for example, in the temptation account, satan is shown as reflecting the erroneous belief of ancient time that shape of earth is flat, thus taking jesus to the top of “a very high mountain” and showed him “all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor.” (mathew 4:8, 9) the fact that jesus did not correct the mistaken view of satan shows the account of temptation is allegorical.

further, jesus knew that satan was only a personification of evil (mathew 16:23; john 6:70) and categorically declared that “all evil thoughts proceed from one’s heart,” not from satan.

I agree 100% with Spoletta

Really nice thought that even Jesus was not immune to the negative thoughts that arise from within

Waton, nice thoughts!

We cannot understand everything that is happening. One well-known aspect of quantum physics is that certain observations cannot even be predicted absolutely. Instead, there is a range of possible observations each with a different probability. One mainstream explanation, the “many-worlds” interpretation, states that each of these possible observations corresponds to a different universe (the ‘multiverse’). There could be infinite number of universes, and everything that could possibly happen occurs in some universe. Death does not exist in any real sense in these scenarios. All possible universes exist simultaneously, regardless of what happens in any of them. Although individual bodies are destined to self-destruct, the alive feeling – the conscious energy - doesn’t go away at death. One of the surest axioms of science is that energy never dies; it can neither be created nor destroyed. But does this energy transcend from one world to the other? The fact that it made its descent means it can make its ascent too! If it is done once, what is the difficulty in repeating it? That means death does not exist in a timeless, spaceless world. In the end, even Einstein admitted, “Now Besso” (an old friend) “has departed from this strange world a little ahead of me. People like us…know that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.” Immortality doesn’t mean a perpetual existence in time without end, but rather resides outside of time altogether.
