    science as a religion

    Oh i see, the concept of singularity applies for black holes as well. But the most center of the black hole when matter becomes infinite and when it reaches this certain point (singularity) it is the same as asking what came before that measurable 0.000000001 second before the big bags...

    science as a religion

    Sorry were these black holes present before the Big Bang. From my understanding the big bang created the concept of a black hole? Would we be able to support that idea and if so wouldn't it just raise more questions about everything? I'm not saying that couldn't have happened either? :)

    science as a religion

    Sorry when I say time I mean the time the we understand and know as human. What I am suggesting is that time exsisted before the Big Bang however that time is infinite and unending, As you said our particular timeline was created within the Big Bang. :)

    I think the "Reason" why...

    True, however the debate regarding the authenticity of the Gospels is a completely different topic in relation to this sub which was discussing personal experiences and why Christians believe Christ is also god. I would have to delve into Church history and evidence for and against the gospels...

    science as a religion

    Well it could be reasonable to suggest a god or creator as christian god is eternal and timeless. The concept of time was created within the big bang so it could be reasonable to believe that a godlike everlasting force or being existed before the material world we know today formed. It doesn't...

    I think the "Reason" why...

    But god was also man. He was god in the flesh. He willingly gave up the earthly life and its pleasures as well as his body for the heavenly cause, to cleanse people from their sins and reunite them to god. What i am trying to get at is the cause behind the sacrifice is great and the way the...

    I think the "Reason" why...

    Interesting perspective. What would be the purpose of that sacrifice? how and what would purpose and benefit if it were just human? Jesus still felt physical pain and emotional anguish. Why does him returning to his godly power and existence make the sacrifice any less? The definition of a...

    I think the "Reason" why...

    exactly right! you have just experienced some christian enlightenment :) it was important that Jesus wasn't just a sinful ordinary human but god himself in the flesh who understands human weakness and temptation. If someone needs saving either spiritually (from sins) or physically it is logical...

    science as a religion

    Science is a valuable part of society however however science will never be able to understand how the universe came to be. We wont ever be able to tangibly go back or even naturally comprehend the environment and moments before the formation of the big bang because everything we logically and...

    Why I Had To Apostatize

    Its difficult. I do not, like you, believe that the catholic church is the one true church and those who do not belong to it are going to hell. I believe that the orthodox church hits close to home with regards to the ancient christian faith. This however doesent mean that individuals who are...

    Nature of God

    Biblicaly god is the creator, his works are expressed through his creation. Regarding gods gender, he could categorize himself to have male like qualities. This is believed because man was created in gods image first and not the women. That is why he is seen to be more male in characteristic...

    Experiencing God

    there is no credible or rational explanation for the universe being in existence today. Scientists cant measure or explain what happened before the big bang which is the most popular theory of how the universe came to be with much evidence. Other theories talk about inflations and cycles of big...

    But [some religion] is not a religion!

    Religion is the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God/s. Being religious relates to being faithful, participating, practicing, loving and devoting to a god/s, beliefs, principles etc. I think some Christians get confused with the term religion as...

    Atheists have nothing to rely on

    Not necessarily however i will say that what they rely on to feel comforted by is temporary. Friends come and go, seasons change, there is no control or knowing of the future, food is temporary, life is temporary?.

    Reincarnation in the bible

    To simply put it, there is incarnation and reincarnation, however this principle should be best understood in the christian context as is the bible that i being used to explain this concept.

    Atheist; wish I could believe

    completely get it. Was very similarly like you in school. There is an emptiness, loneliness and sometimes lack of love and affection within you (IMO) that just sits there. You have the deeper need to fill yourself with something other than food for your stomach. Your not crazy. I found peace...

    Why Do Christians insist meditation is "dangerous"?

    Meditating can be a lot of things. It can be about thinking truly deeply about something in ones life and it can be incorporated in a more religious context like the repetition of scripture, the aid of religious music or chanting in an effort to achieve clarity of mind and closeness with god...

    Did you ever experience a miracle?

    Yes. I had a relative who had lung cancer, he was in the hospital bed and in the morning the family went to go and see how he was and the hospital room smelt of the incense that our church uses in worship. He took an x ray and the cancer was gone. Another one is the night my grandfather died. He...
