ttdtt: God is just a mechanism to make you feel that there is something after death. or better yet during life, for like my young daughter, she is continually putting things together, caring for her pet dolls, dogs. so typical of imitating what we see in nature/creation if you will. Even a one-way force of gravity is pulling matter into empire structures of stars, nicely balanced by velocities. Consider yourself part of a building/caring project.

Finding the value of God; Isn't it better to believe in a deity?
by Caupon inthe question as to what believing in this entity called god entails is a fairly important question that needs to be answered first.
to me, the key difference between a universe in which god exists versus one where god doesn't lies in the idea of teleology.
in my view, a universe with god entails some sort of process towards an end, an end which can be characterized with words such as bliss and unity and others.

these men who may look like waiters are not actually Bethel waiters (as if anyone CARED!!!) but are, actually, hold on for it... secretaries for GB helpers. Oh my! Thanks the lord!!!
wait!! Loesch of GB fame is actually a graduate waiter from Austria , that also produced a paperhanger with similar cosmic ambitions, so, titles, even when hidden matter, now, will that be a glass of water with your bread???

I would rather be alive than justified, proven right. Being alive allows you to see how things work out. -

compound complex, wouldn't the bread he uses be symbolically tainted--. thought along the same lines, but that one is right symbolism, -because is he not talking about imperfect people adding to their sinful burden? unleavened bread would picture A&E, "jesus". I find the throw away part very offensive I worked once a whole week to pay for one whole grain bread. In many lands where wt expects growth, discarded food would not be thrown out but fed to the animals, composted, still a valuable commodity. The leaven of the Pharisees = irresponsible teaching showing in public.

Thank you for giving the reluctant non-viewers a preview. At least in the "Jesus" story, bread is used mostly in a positive way, life sustaining, a gift from the creator. Even the dogs were nourished from the crumbs that fell under the table. A crummy and crude comparison this, - obviously. -

A philosophical question .... what does the word God mean to you personally ?
by Finkelstein into myself it means to seek knowledge and understanding of are selves and the world in which we live.. unfortunately history has shown whenever one tries to connect to god and of his knowledge through men who say they themselves are connected to god through spiritual wifi ie.
gb members of the jehovah's witnesses for example, one usually ends up finding a accumulation of only man's acquired knowledge.
over thousands of years of trying to connect to a god(s) for help and answers, mankind has eventually relinquished himself to seeking answers through scientific investigative acquired knowledge of the world in which we live in.

The word "god" for me falls short of doing justice to the grandeur invested in existence, the cosmos. so does any personal [first] name. -

Evolution Hole #1 - Origin of Life
by shadow indisclaimer: my graduate degree is in business, not science so i'm writing as a layman in this field.
yes, i know that someone is going to say that evolution does not encompass this topic and should be sectioned off under abiogenesis.
i'm not trying to argue semantics here but it seems like a case of avoiding an uncomfortable subject.

"----interaction of chemical, biological--" It could hardly be biological, because "bio" was still in the future, when all the fortuitous circumstances came together. No doubt if we could observe it now, it would look quite natural, because it is. Words do matter. I am referring to the Einstein conversations about Wirklichkeit, The Reality that has it's root in Werken, work. I am not a theist, but the existence we live in calls for more than random fluctuations as their origin, IMO
