The Function of God

What is God's function in your religion?

BONUS QUESTION: By what means have you gained this knowledge of God's function aside from what you've read or have been told? Or is reading about it or being told by someone else enough for you?

God is the genetic code's creator. God's function has been to spread life though out the universe.

My knowledge of God comes from how there is indeed a mark of extraterrestrial intelligence left in our genetic code as evident by how the numeric and semantic message of 037 appears in our genetic code. Each codon relates to 3 other particular codons having the same particular type of initial nucleobase and sequential nucleobase subsequently then followed by a different ending nucleobase. Half of these 4 set of codon groups ( whole family codons ) each code for the same particular amino acid. The other half of those 4 set of codon groups ( split codons ) don't code for the same amino acid. So then, in the case of whole family codons, there are 37 amino acid peptide chain nucleons for each relevant nucleobase determinant of how a particular amino acid gets coded. Start codons express 0 at the beginning of 37 Hence, the meaningful numeric and semantic message of 037 gets unambiguously and factually conveyed to us descendants of our cosmic ancestor(s) with our genetic code invented by a superior intelligence beyond that of anybody presently bound to Earth.

“There is no plausible chemical logic to couple directly the triplets and the amino acids. In other words, the principles of chemistry where not the sought essence of the genetic code”

“The zero is the supreme abstraction of arithmetic. Its use by any alphabet, including the genetic code, can be an indicator of artificiality.”

"The place-value decimal system represented through digital symmetry of the numbers divisible by prime number (PN 037). This arithmetical syntactic feature is an innate attribute of the genetic code. The PN 037 notation with a leading zero emphasizes zero's equal participation in the digital symmetry. Numbers written by identical digits are devised by PN 037*3=111 and 1+1+1=3 and appear regularly [from the figure: 037*6 =222 and 2+2+2=6, 037*9=333 and 3+3+3 =9, 037*4=444 and 4+4+4=12, 037*15=555 and 5+5+5=15, 037*18=666 and 6+6+6=18, 037*21=777 and 7+7+7 =21. 037*24 =888 and 8+8+8=24, 037*27=999 and 9+9+9=27.)"

"There is a complete set of information symbols utilizing the decimal syntax 111, 222, 333, 444, 555, 666, 777, 888, 999 in the genetic code. Each of these symbols consists uniformly of a carrier (balanced nucleons) and a meaning (the decimal syntax)."

This informational and artificial characteristic of the WOW signal of the terrestrial genetic code demonstrates an intelligent designer of our genetic coding.

This intelligent signal transmitted via genetic code that has been documented and confirmed by scientists researching the WOW signal of the terrestrial genetic code is prima facie evidence for an extraterrestrial intelligent designer.

The authors who discovered this mark of intelligence embedded in our genetic code show that "the terrestrial code displays a thorough precision-type orderliness matching the criteria to be considered an informational signal. Simple arrangements of the code reveal an ensemble of arithmetical and ideographical patterns of the same symbolic language. Accurate and systematic, these underlying patterns appear as a product of precision logic and nontrivial computing rather than of stochastic processes (the null hypothesis that they are due to chance coupled with presumable evolutionary pathways is rejected with P-value < 10–13). The patterns are profound to the extent that the code mapping itself is uniquely deduced from their algebraic representation. The signal displays readily recognizable hallmarks of artificiality, among which are the symbol of zero, the privileged decimal syntax and semantical symmetries. Besides, extraction of the signal involves logically straightforward but abstract operations, making the patterns essentially irreducible to any natural origin. Plausible ways of embedding the signal into the code and possible interpretation of its content are discussed. Overall, while the code is nearly optimized biologically, its limited capacity is used extremely efficiently to pass non-biological information."

Exactly who/what left its/their mark in our genetic coding might not ever get determined by anybody presently bound to Earth. The search for our cosmic relatives and cosmic common ancestor likely then needs to be done with advanced space exploration. I'd like to urge you then to please advise our Senate, Congress and President to expand our tax-payer funded resources for advance space exploration.

Believe? I believe it little that I have not experienced. The question is also problematic for me, as you have not defined "God," and I think you'll admit that there are many concepts of what "God" is.

If you are referring to "God" as a deity, no. But I respect and understand the reasons others do.



No.
It was you who asked the OP question: What is God's function in your religion?

I was curious on how you would answer the question you put to others.

I'll give my best attempt to answer the OP question:

To me God/Brahman consciousness is the only thing real. Without God/Brahman consciousness there is nothingness.

BONUS QUESTION: By what means have you gained this knowledge of God's function aside from what you've read or have been told? Or is reading about it or being told by someone else enough for you?

Well...since you asked :D.....I have had a consciousness about God (as the Creator) from when I was a small child. I had parents who pointed out things in nature that they appreciated and raised me to be mindful of what others may overlook, especially the small things, so I have always appreciated design in nature when I saw it....whether it was the incredible artistry seen in the wings of a butterfly or the majesty of a powerful animal or an ancient tree....the qualities of the Creator spoke to me as one who has thought of the finest detail....even in microscopic creatures that we cannot see, or in the beautiful design of a snowflake, where there are no two the same...who knew? I cannot ignore these things.

As man increased in knowledge, so did my awe about the magnitude and genius of God's creation.....from the vastness of the universe to the microscopic creatures that live on our own skin....what is between those two opposites boggles the mind. They were all designed to exist in harmony and are mutually beneficial as long as we "intelligent ones" don't start thinking too much of ourselves and our own accomplishments and start to talk ourselves out of believing in God and losing sight of his masterplan. Once we do that, going against nature creates problems....sometimes major ones like the mutations of viruses and bacteria due to the over-use of antibiotics. Scientists knew that all living things have the capability to adapt and survive, yet they failed to foresee what harm they were doing in the long term....as they seem to do with everything else.

Destroying native forests changed the climate of various regions and global warming is the result of burning fossil fuels and few taking responsibility for their part in it. Everything that drives the world is based on financial benefits for the few and damn the planet. If you kill God, you condemn yourself to a future under man's control. :eek: Do you trust him? I don't.

God's function in my religion is therefore the whole basis for understanding who we are as humans...why we are here, and what we can expect from him as the Creator of all things. More importantly I think is what the Creator expects from us as tenants of his property. Who will write us a reference? o_O
We have earned ourselves an eviction.

You don't need the Bible to tell you that the godless are destroying the world.....a world that was designed to repair itself, just like our own bodies were, but we have strayed so far from what the Creator put in place here, that now we are staring down the barrel of our own extinction.....and by our own hand.....you can choose any number of ways by which humans can accomplish this. God allowed this to show us what happens when we eliminate him from our lives and ignore his laws.

So my faith is is Earth's maker, who clearly designed it to be enjoyed in a harmonious way with all other beings who were placed here with us.....but humans wanted to do things 'their' way and here we are. :(

Hinduism has many views about God. As an atheist Advaitist Hindu, I believe in existence of a basic entity which constitutes all things in the universe. I find nothing other than 'physical energy/space' to qualify for that. That is what perhaps we started with at the time of Big Bang. Its only purpose is just to exist and because of its inherent (Quantum) properties, it seems to create all sort of illusions - life and earth are those illusions.

Answering Bonus Question: By study of scriptures (Hindu as well as others), study of science and by discussions with other people. Must mention Bertrand Russell who started me on this search and Buddha's 'Kalama Sutta', which helped me to avoid falsehood.

BONUS QUESTION: By what means have you gained this knowledge of God's function aside from what you've read or have been told? Or is reading about it or being told by someone else enough for you?

Bonus question first. Personal experience. I know you types like to convince yourself that all theists are brainwashed by what other people have told them, but as I've seen from a rather lockstep mentality on another thread on flat Earth theology, this simply isn't so. Parroting back what science teachers told them, afraid that an unpopular opinion would make them abnormal.

Amazingly it's been 8 years since I met Emily (pronounced "Kyrie" after the name of God in Latin prayers, I predominantly have met God in the guise of people, who gave me good advice when my life was a ****ing mess; since most of these has been girls, I'm gonna call Her by the name Emily, but just view it as a pseudonym). I was stuck in the rut of a dead-end job, and managed to move out. Later when I was going to head back home, she met me and got me part-time gigs. Then I saw her again as a Dearest coworker in my new job and have stayed in touch with her as a regular friend.

God is not some big overlord. God is our friend.

I always used to think that bonus was something prepaid for and free. But not in this case.

A very important one. Without belief in Him, that religion would not exist.

It is like asking what is the importance of fairies, if you have a belief system based on them.

Although there are rational reasons for believing in God, yet finally, there are mysteries of faith. I think it is much more common for an atheist to think that he knows what God is than a believer.

I do not know that God has a function at all. But I am sure that God is the only true friend that a person can have. God is the guru.

The Gods exist as the givers of good things. Their function is to rule over Natural Law. The existence of Gods are axiomatic, but Their true nature is shrouded in Mystery.

I have come to this conclusion through many years scholarly study of Platonic theology, and through ecstatic trance (communion with God)
