There are lots of things that "might" be.
You "might" be just a brain in a jar, and everything you see is a hallucination.
If you are to accept as possible things just because they have a non-zero probability, then you will end up believing in a whole bunch of weird ****.

Martin, the point that Tiberius is trying to make is that, yes, God might exist. However, if you give God the right to be a likely outcome, then you must do so for Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Jainism, etc..., including his Brain in a Jar metaphor.
God may exist. If he does, then there should be evidence for him. If there is not, then there is no reason to believe he exists until you have reason to say he does.
At this point I wish to ask: what convinces you that God exists?

I am happy to believe that the Gods of the other religions also exist.
Also no doubt there are many other ones that we've never even thought about or are unable to comprehend in any way - the human mind has its limits.
One reason I believe in God is that it seems impossible to have nothing - for instance with the Universe - what was before it?

When you ask what was before the universe you must also ask where did the gods themselves come from.
But to answer the question, we do not know. We do not know anything prior to the big bang, and so we cannot say what happened. We can hypothesize, such as the possibility that universe is infinite, but we do not know.
That does not mean, however, that any idea is just as likely as the next.

I would like to know more of what this means.
Is there something I can look up on Wiki
that would explain a bit about what you are referring to?
Tks.
Oh. Keyboards/Piano Primarily. Then Vocals and Guitar.
Lotsa styles. I like intertwining styles actually.
I got my BFA in Jazz,
but don't focus most of my efforts on traditional jazz.
The improvisational thing however,
tends to run through almost all of my own work
as a primary element.
You can click the link in my Sig, for a sampling.
(though I haven't updated it in a long time,
and it doesn't reflect what I'm currently working on)

I dont know your religion but I can say this Jesus did not use crystal's to heal nor does he need to use them now. Furthermore Christians do not need crystal's to get healing or anything. Healing power is in the shed blood of Jesus Christ and his finished work on calvary's cross.
People want something they can hold on to. They want to have the answer within themselves. They dont want to turn to God but instead crystals and tarot cards. Or even the Purpose Driven Life, or 20 or 40 days of purpose etc etc.
All one needs to do is believe in Jesus that he was the Final and True sacrifice for redemption of sin and victory over the devil as well as healing. However not all Christians are healed just as not all the sick in Israel during Jesus' 33 years of earthy life were healed. But all who believe in Jesus will and are saved.

Just a heads up. Proselytizing is not allowed on the forum/s.
Afterthought: Jesus did use mud to heal.

"People want something they can hold on to."
Like gods?
"They want to have the answer within themselves."
Isn't that where all answers are even if you believe in a god?

My point people want to think by doing XYZ themselves they are either healing some illness or obtaining righteousness and thats impossible.

The healing didnt come out of the mud but from Jesus himself. Just like his cross held no power and his death itself was not anything overly special. But it was the act of being a sacrifice.
