The fact that God doesn't align with what you believe God should
be does not mean he doesn't exist.
Sorry for the misunderstanding Halcon.
I never said God doesn’t exist. What I said was;
Is there an All Knowing Benevolent, Omnipotent God?
I'd argue that nature of life on Earth
and the course of human history makes it impossible to accept, that a
"perfect, benevolent, omnipotent, omniscient God, who is ruler
of the universe. and originator of all life"……...Actually
Exists.
I actually do consider that there was or perhaps there is a
Creator.
But not one like Christians describe. Which according to
them, God is the biblical God YHWH or Jehovah. And that he is Totally
Perfect, and the epitome of Love and Compassion.
On the other hand, there’s actually a lot of possibilities
of who or what the Creator is or was.
1. The Creator could have been a Being who was powerful enough,
and intelligent enough to create life, but not immortal. And he
created life on earth and then died. Leaving us to fend for ourselves
and figure it out.
That actually would make sense and explain a lot. Scientist that
study human population have said that in 1AD there was about 200
million people in the entire world. There was far less before AD. But
around 1800 AD humanity finally reached 1 Billion.
Why did it take thousands and thousands of years before humanity
reached 1 Billion? Because the trail of humanity has been one of
ignorance, trial and error. Humanity didn’t get a “Manual” on
how to live and avoid death. Our history is fill with millions of
humans starving to death, freezing to death, being burned alive,
falling to our death, eaten by animals, dying of disease, and so on.
Little by little humans had to learn by trial and error on how to
survive in a harsh world. How long did it take to finally figure out
how to make fire? How many lives did it take to learn how to swim?
How to build shelter and move out of the caves?
We have been on our own from the very beginning. But something
changed in the 1800s. We started discovering technology, medicine,
anatomy, industrialized farming, electricity, plumbing, steel, and
what that accomplished is that humans weren’t dying anymore
needlessly. We weren’t freezing to death. We were not starving as
much, we were not dying as much as in the past because medicine was
making big strides in curing the sick.
But that’s not all. We are finally getting close to creating
life. About eleven years ago humans created a liver with stem cells
and put it in a woman and saved her life. Or was it a pancreas? Can’t
remember exactly but regardless, Humans are learning how to create
hearts, eyes, lungs, and other important processes that bring us
closer to being Creators.
In one of my College Classes, the professor told us to write
several possibilities of who Created life. There were literally
hundreds of possibilities written by all us students.
Here’s one possibility shown in a movie years back, when I was
still a kid growing up in the jw faith;
The Creator was like Jesus, he sacrificed his life that other
might live.
