No, it is not.
He's referring to the second law of thermodynamics, which says that things can self-organize if the system is open. The Earth is such a system.I be interested to hear your views on how life began with or without the help of God.
I got it from the library. A most forgettable book.Just for good measure, you should also check out "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins.
I read it, did a thread on it also, Found out that the Bible was completely correct when it came to this book about the new atheists.......There is nothing new under the sun.....same ole, same ole I do find Dawkins to be very interesting though.I got it from the library. A most forgettable book.
Same ole, same ole is right, but I had a hard time getting through it. H's a brilliant biologist, but a lousy philosopher and a worse theologian.I read it, did a thread on it also, Found out that the Bible was completely correct when it came to this book about the new atheists.......There is nothing new under the sun.....same ole, same ole I do find Dawkins to be very interesting though.
I do not know. Therefore?I be interested to hear your views on how life began with or without the help of God.
I've read two of three of his books. Very little of what he wrote in what I've read resonates with me. This isn't so much because I disagree with what he says as much as the way he says them. He's not a particularly good spiritual teacher (if he is one).Read anything by Jiddu Krishnamurti. He explains how beliefs have come into existence and how we are all conditioned to believe one thing or another and are in a constant state of conflict. UG Krishnamurti is good as well, but he comes across as a bit harsh to some...
I would say that there is no evidence that would point conclusively in either direction. We don't know whether there is a God or not, so why even try to find out? It is the way that it is, which is the way that it will continue to be. If we were meant to know, there would be no conflict of beliefs. As it is, we are in constant conflict because we try to find God through the ideas and opinions of somebody else, which only further helps to cloud the mind and weigh us down. You could always take a guess as many people do, or go back into the religion which you were conditioned to believe in, which many people do as well. Or you could honestly seek for yourself to see what is true and what is not. Drop the interpetations and petty conflict over the issue and honestly seek. If you see that nothing is there other than the idea or opinion of another, than maybe that is what is so. Atleast that is what has been the case for me...

:biglaugh:Thanks! I needed that! It's been a long time since I laughed so hard and do long.Like I said, UG is harsh and quite relentless. Many people cannot get into him. But Jiddu Krishnamurti is a little more comforting for a lot of people. Both could be considered spiritual teachers, although they believed that the truth must be sought out for ourselves and not to take anything that they say as truth. You probably want a spiritual teacher that spells everything out for you, instead of stepping back and allowing you to answer the questions that arise with their teaching. They were a different type of spiritual teacher, that is for sure. And the world is probably not ready for their simple, but revolutionary teachings...

Check out Quantum Physics .
Then why is doubt so important to faith in God?Every theory begins as a conclusion, but you must have enough sense to understand that you could be wrong. The conclusion has blinded many an individual from seeking out the answer. Take God, for example. Many people have grown up with the conclusion given that he is indeed there and is working in ways unknown. So they question nothing and accept anything concerning him. The conclusion has become a blockade against their understanding of what seems to be true.
