    What God/Gods really are.

    I would essentially line-up with Kilgore. ***edit*** They arise naturally in our psyche for many reasons. They answer the metaphysical questions regarding our existence in a world they created. They assuage our existential fear of death with an offering of immortality. They provide a unifying...

    What is the best Religion?

    Thank you for your welcome. What are the gods but the dreams of humanity, conjured up for comfort or fear? Absolute truth , absolute reality... these are merely words we invent for concepts we imagine to explain the fantasies we conceive.

    What is the best Religion?

    Anyone who is detached from dogma and thinks seriously about religion will understand this is the case. One does not need to be told that the sun brings the day.

    Do you believe in spontaneous organic life from non living elements?

    You're thinking about Life in binary terms. There was, and is, a progression from inorganic to organic. Consider that living beings are composed of non-living elements. It's the variable macro and micro (re)organization of the environment which produces new forms and entities. Think of how the...

    What is the best Religion?

    Given that all religions are based on fantasy but pretend reality, none of them are worthy of being called "The Best".

    humans evolving from monkeys

    Well, if you go back far enough, there's monkeys... Just sayin. I think it's important to be careful with the language when discussing with people who are totally FUBAR about evolution. And really, we're not apes, we're human (check your hips). Don't buy into that naked ape stuff that Desmond...

    humans evolving from monkeys

    Maybe he really does need an explanation. Could be that all he learned about evolution was from the creationists, and you know what kind of opinions that leads to.

    Humans did NOT evolve from the common ancestor of Apes

    Wow! Over 2700 posts, on a topic with so little merit. I would only say that you can easily separate a fool from his money, but it's hard to separate a fool from his religion.

    humans evolving from monkeys

    What's to worry about? We all evolved from our parents! So the origin of our mortal "gritty" (I like that term) side can be traced back billions of years to exploding stars that created and distributed the carbon, oxygen, etc, atoms that comprise the grit. And this mortal grit will exist...

    Humans Carry More Bacterial Cells than Human Ones You are more bacteria than you are you, according

    For sure... don't we all prefer our personal fantasies?

    Humans Carry More Bacterial Cells than Human Ones You are more bacteria than you are you, according

    Yes, that's mostly right! Except that the dominance & exploitation go both ways, and there's great power in great numbers, and there can be no innocence without possibility of guilt. Still fascinating though.. (apologies in advance if I don't get the quoting correct)

    Jesus: 1+1=3?

    Please consider a reply from a RF newb... To extract meaning from the scriptures of all early western religions (from Gilgamesh to Matthew and far beyond) it must be understood that the language used is based on astronomical allegory. Literal interpretations are sure to muddy the waters.

    What is the meaning of life? What is the purpose of existence?

    Life happens... without meaning. Existence is... without purpose. Meaning and purpose are qualities of intentional agents... derived from the meaningless, purposeless contingencies of evolution. We may imbue our living existence with meaning and purpose... or not.
