    Evolution, maybe someone can explain?

    I see nature spirits and us as all having their source as God.

    Why Scientists Mostly Reject Spirituality

    I think the missing link between science and religion/spirituality is the existence of Higher Planes of Nature (astral. etc.), that are not directly detectable by the gross physical senses and instruments.

    A 'Soul' is a Living Organism's Genome Sequence

    And I got to think: Wow, how wrong was that. For me the soul is the central part of us in a higher dimension/plane of nature.

    Without Jesus Creation Isn’t Possible IMO

    Doesn't make much sense to me. And things written in the Bible do not get my unquestioned acceptance.

    Evolution, maybe someone can explain?

    I am one that disagrees with the "unconscious" development of life theory. I think the mindboggling complexity of DNA and complex life processes are not likely to have happened by an unconscious process. Furthermore, I believe there are higher planes of nature than the physical plane and there...

    Help me clarify my thoughts on abortion and slavery

    My point was, I see the Kamala Harris types liking to sweep that issue under the rug and putting the spotlight on a woman's right to control her own body.

    Help me clarify my thoughts on abortion and slavery

    I have an issue with those like Kamala Harris that try to make it all about a woman's body and her right to choose. I think this type of thinking wants us to forget that a fetus deserves consideration too.

    ADCs (After-Death Communication) and NDEs (Near-Death Experiences) as Evidence for an Afterlife

    To me ADCs and NDEs are very strong evidence suggesting life after death which I believe in. The strength of many of these cases is very impressive. Religiously though, they lead me to believe love and a good heart/mind are what matter more than your religious belief system.

    A lot Of People Talk About Needing Evidence To Believe There’s A God

    As I see it, the more one studies the various types of paranormal phenomena the more you realize science will need revolutionary new understandings to explain things. Not being a follower of scientism, I will also look to other traditions like Vedic and Theosophical for possible explanations.

    A lot Of People Talk About Needing Evidence To Believe There’s A God

    The thought that just occurred to me is that maybe we spend too much energy arguing with skeptics. We get ourselves in the pattern of arguing the same things with the same group of skeptics here. Maybe we should spend more energy on developing our understanding and helping ourselves and others...

    A lot Of People Talk About Needing Evidence To Believe There’s A God

    There are such paranormal events that cannot be explained by current science. That's almost the definition of paranormal. That would be the gold standard, but prior to knowing the detailed operation one can accept that something unknown to science is occurring. To brush aside that something is...

    A lot Of People Talk About Needing Evidence To Believe There’s A God

    I agree but the Scientism types accept only input from the physical senses and instruments. To me that is an impoverishing approach given the mysteries (paranormal) that do occur in this world. I have come to believe that psychic sensing can detect things the physical senses and instruments...

    Evidence That the Absence of a God is Not Possible

    That's what I'm saying too. Using reason and logic we hypothesize from best sources and refine that over time. That is how human reasoning addresses new things and grows in understanding. From Vedic Science, Theosophy and modern parapsychology I am refining my worldview. That is better than...

    A lot Of People Talk About Needing Evidence To Believe There’s A God

    As I keep saying, I consider it beyond the reach of current science, but I am interested in things beyond science. I suspect science of the future will develop new tools that will make this testable. And billions already believe some versions of these things including some scientists and...

    I believe in it beyond reasonable from the quantity, quality and consistency of anecdotal cases. And there are even controlled experimental reasons.

    A lot Of People Talk About Needing Evidence To Believe There’s A God

    What if the situation is that we can only directly detect things of our familiar physical plane but souls and astral bodies are things not of the physical plane. So it seems you can only look for physical phenomena in science and what these clairvoyant masters are talking about is not physical...

    A lot Of People Talk About Needing Evidence To Believe There’s A God

    I have found Vedic and Theosophical sources to be consistent and not faith based but based on the clairvoyant insight of many masters. Their model provides an explanatory model for paranormal things that science is uncomfortable with or prefers denial. It starts with real-world observations...

    Evidence That the Absence of a God is Not Possible

    That's fine if your interest is just in science. Not being concerned strictly with current science, I consider even anecdotal claims in my overall best understanding of reality. What are you not grasping about my position?

    A lot Of People Talk About Needing Evidence To Believe There’s A God

    No, you should require evidence. I am saying there is sufficient modern evidence for me to believe that the paranormal and spiritual do occur and I look to Vedic science and other traditions for understanding.

    I still have hopes that science can 'catch-on' to this stuff, but that will require new tools that can extend beyond just the physical plane.
