The question arises, why does the universe exist?
One idea is that scientists of the future are instigators of the Big Bang and are designers of all reality.
This includes the design of time, designing it to be manipulated, thus allowing time travel.
To me this seems a real possibility!
I can’t...
Would one expect some ‘attributes’ of the universe, eg. Time travel, to not be able to be ‘manipulated’, even after 3 billion years of scientific study?
Are some attributes set in stone?
Should time travel be regarded as a serious topic for scientific investigation,
As then, if achieved, it could have important implications for how we understand the universe?
Can I bring time-travel into the equation?
If scientists ever succeed in being able to go back and forward through time,
Then we possibly have a candidate for the intelligent designer:-
The scientists go back in time and bring the man-made ‘original cell’ from which all life evolved, and plant...
At the moment I don’t know how I propose to consider God, if he exists, in the scheme of things.
That’s why i’m Here on this forum.
I’m all ears.
Give me an example of what you’re asking....it might help.
Two trillion years later...............
Two riders were approaching,
And the wind began to howl.
God turns around and says.....
“Did you enjoy that”?
All the creatures replied.....
“Let’s play it again”.
So there was a Big Bang.
So I think it’s best to take a worst case scenario approach:-
If God exists he probably doesn’t need any help from us,
Whereas, if God doesn’t exist and the cross in the sky was put there by aliens,
Then maybe they could do with some help solving all human/alien problems,
Eg., diseases...
However I’m sure God could work out a solution instead of the Cross in the sky that would leave us completely convinced of his existence (if he exists).
The problem is alternative beliefs stopping one belief.
For example consider the following beliefs....
1. A cross in the sky by God
2. A cross in the sky by some advanced alien race
How does one choose one over the other?
It’s a bit like popping into a betting office and placing a bet on a two...
I Just want to make one more point......
Let’s say the Eskimo read the book on magnetism (see opening post),
And asked to see a magnet and iron filings,
But I said to him......
I’m not going to waste my time showing you one of those magnets!
In a way, isn’t that me being juvenile?
Is it not reasonable to ask questions?
Surely curiosity’s a good thing?
And are there some questions off limits?
And what’s the Tanaka, is it the Old Testament?
I’ve read all the New Testament and a third of the Old Testament,
It’s the longest book I’ve ever partly read.
If you were God do you think you’d take his approach to religious matters and why?
I suppose in a way.......
I find it a bit strange that I could spend a year reading the Bible (and not fully understanding it) when a simple cross in the sky for all to see would suffice.
Or is that an unreasonable request?
Let’s say That I write a book containing chapter after chapter of supposedly truth,
And then I ask you to believe it.
I ask you to believe it because, obviously, by yourself you can’t verify the truth.
Wouldn’t it have been better if I had took some other approach,
An approach whereby you didn’t...
