    How can you accept evolution and still have a spiritual reality, and/or a God faith

    I think that is comes down to how one views this idea called God. If one sees God as a separate personal deity that is removed from Its creation then the idea of evolution can be confusing. On the other hand, if one views this thing called God as an All Encompassing entity (the essence of all...

    Joining or collecting the sun and moon together In Quran & Science

    Life on this planet Earth will be long extinct before the Sun reaches its Red Giant stage. In a few million years the luminosity of the Sun will have increased causing more solar radiation to reach the surface of the planet. The increase in radiation will cause a higher rate of weathering of...

    Scientific miracles in Holly Quran(about Sun & moon)

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but how can the light produced by the sun and being reflected by the moon be a miracle?

    Do you Think the Earth will Survive without God's Intervention

    I agree, but it does beg the questions I addressed in my post #25, and by your condescending remark I'll just conceder it a no answer. It's kind of funny that God has only showed up in the last 50,000 years to save humanity from itself and neglecting the rest of Gods creation for the previous 1...

    Do you Think the Earth will Survive without God's Intervention

    When one looks at the past, you will see that life has come and gone many times of this planet, creatures do go extinct, 99% of all life that has ever existed on Earth is extinct. There were times in the past when our atmosphere was toxic, there have been a number of climate changes on this...

    Could any part of any holy book be from a Deity /any deity/. for atheists & agnostics

    Anything is possible, but is it probable? Seeing how we have never seen any tangible evidence for the existence of a deity or divine other than human constructs of their perceived deity, I'd have so say the probability of this an outstanding no.

    Do you think the Bible could be the word of G-d? /for atheists & agnostics

    As to the OP question: "Could the bible be the word of God": It is obvious that the bible was written by man, these men believed in the existence of a God and therefore believed that what they were writing was from God, so for the person doing the writing it is most definitely the word of God...

    Pan- and Panen-Nontheism?

    Yes, the non-dualist part of me has a very difficult time in addressing your question due to having to use labels. I understand that this is the only means of conveying thoughts however, it is very limiting and semantics can often confuse the issues. Just using the term "god", "deities" or...

    What sounds more accurate to your belief as a pantheist

    For me, I would say that I'm a pantheist in that this concept we call "god" exist in all thing and nothing is removed from "it". I'm also a non-dualist, therefore the idea of a separate god is hard to accept, just using the term "god" denotes something as being separate. With that in mind, my...

    Present arguments for atheism

    Emotions have nothing to do with facts and truth, emotions are nothing more that how much attachment you have to a concept. One may be emotionally attached in the idea the earth is flat, no matter how much emotion you put into it doesn't make it a truth. A person can believe anything they choose...

    Present arguments for atheism

    Subjectivity is totally within in the mind of the observer, it is not a separate agency, it requires an observer. Our subjective mind is formed from our experiences and these experiences are totally unique to each person. Now you and I may share the same experience, however, how we process the...

    Baha'i views on possessing firearms...

    Living in a perfect world, I'd agree that firearms would not be needed, however, we are a far cry off from a perfect world. The framers of our Constitution would be shocked at the violence in our society today, but this isn't a gun problem, this is a people problem. Disarming the American public...

    Present arguments for atheism

    Your example is flawed, When someone finds a woman beautiful that is completely subjective, you may want to hold it as truth but that in and of itself does not make it the truth. You may find others who agree with your perception of beauty, but that will only stand until someone comes along who...

    YOUR Belief

    I would say I am a Pantheist, I do not believe in an anthropomorphic god, I do not view things a be separate, in that sense I'm a non-dualist, my view is that this concept we call god exist in all things and nothing is removed from it.

    Present arguments for atheism

    There is no real truth in subjectivity, due to it being subjective and this is only within the mind of each person, ie, being subjective. Truth is supported by facts and facts are provable. There is perceived truth, this is a truth that is established until the facts prove it to be in error...
