Lots of life is sentient. My cat is sentient. What people claim is sapience, but considering our history, I'm beginning to question the claim..
Rare and valued? Have you done a survey on the prevalence of life in the universe?
Define "created."
We're adapted to only one planet, and even if we...
Certainly. We are THE unique sentient life form on this unique earth. (Or, for that matter, on any other planet, currently….UFO’s / UAP’s notwithstanding. Lol.)
Because life is so ubiquitous on this planet, it masks the fact that material life is extremely rare & valued throughout the universe...
God created male, and female, and told them to have children, and live on the earth, and take care of it. Genesis 1:26-28
I gave you a wrong scripture. Sorry about that. Genesis 3:8-16, was supposed to be Genesis 2:8-16 where God put them in a garden with "every tree that is pleasant to the...
He is correct. What we commonly call the Laws of Physics are actually theoretical. Nothing wrong with that. Scientific theories are explanation of the facts we gather from many lines of evidence. We are usually pretty sure of them, but we always have the caveat that should new evidence come...
God does not need anything. We need God.
We can think of it this way...
The elixir of life, also known as elixir of immortality, is a potion that supposedly grants the drinker eternal life and/or eternal youth. This elixir was also said to cure all diseases. Alchemists in various ages and...
One of the biggest problems in science is connected to its specialization approach to reality. On the good side, this approach allows one to take a deep dive into a particular subject. But on the negative side, this approach can cause one to lose track of the forest because of the trees.
As an...
For them to have actually been laws some entity with the authority would have to had proclaimed them as laws.
Since we are not aware of such an entity with this kind of authority actually existing, we can't actually say these are proper laws.
Perhaps better called "a description of the observed...
This is not the least bit novel, nor is it controversial or surprising.
I have lost count of the times, on this forum and others, I have had occasion to point out that the notion of "laws" is one imposed by human beings, to describe an undeniable underlying order in the universe. Most of these...
At one time scientists may have believed that laws exist, but we kept finding that that was not so. For example, Newton's Laws were thought to be the absolute basis of all of physics, but physicists kept finding refinements. Areas where Newton's laws failed. Please do not make the mistake...
What??
Physicist Says the Laws of Physics Don't Actually Exist (msn.com)
:-)
OK, so now the laws don't really exist. OK, I think I have it. Even though I don't know the laws and am not particularly interested in them. It's a good mind-bender though, if not a light-bender and time-bender.
"As we...
I like the definition of eternal life on this website:
What did Jesus mean when He promised an abundant life? | GotQuestions.org
"Abundant life is eternal life, a life that begins the moment we come to Christ and receive Him as Savior, and goes on throughout all eternity. The biblical...
All that is required is context. Same chapter. It opposes everything you're saying, and gotquestions should return to the trash bin from which it came. But that does not mean that there is no afterlife. It means that the author of Ecclesiastes does not think there is one.
[Ecc 3:10-12 NIV]...
I don’t think so. I believe God has put a sense of eternity in the human heart because He created us in His image as eternal beings and desires the we find eternal life with Him through Christ the Savior.
What does it mean that we have eternity in our hearts (Ecclesiastes3:11)? | GotQuestions.org
Ecclesiastes bemoans that eternity has been put into our hearts but that it is denied us. Most people who believe in the afterlife usually excuse Ecclesiastes as not authoritative scripture. Maybe you should do that.
Death is a part of this temporal world, but I think most people long for or sense there is more because God, the Creator has put eternity in our hearts... Ecclesiastes3:11
From a Christian point of view, death is not "normal".
In Ecclesiastes3:11 we read : "He has made everything beautiful in its time. Ha has even put eternity in their heart". If God put eternity in people's hearts it's because he didn't want for us to die. Which is probably which we live the...
In the Bible (Revelation 4:11) I find God is singular as Creator.
Thus, God will always know more than His creation - Ecclesiastes3:11; Isaiah 64:4
However, Jesus prayed we all be 'one' Not be one person but all be one in unity, purpose, goal etc. John 17:11, 21-23.
So, No creation will never...
