That is similar to what we believe in my religion.Why must there be a beginning...the universe always was and always will be
God has always existed and the Creation has always existed.
But humans evolved over time.

Indeed.Not every person need answers to spiritual questions, Personally i always been seeking answers to why life is as it is. but i do understand not all think like this
Similar to a point.That is similar to what we believe in my religion.

That is an odd subject matter to address right after addressing the origin of existence with no transition and no context.But humans evolved over time.
I've seen a few physicists -- including Einstein -- describe time as an "illusion". I don't know what they mean by that. But that's the word they've used to describe it.
You know, I don't think it would ever occur to me that he might have meant it that way.Buddha once said it had been 81 cosmos like this we live in now. meaning 80 big bangs. that is how far back in history he could see.
No, we should not presume with no reason to presume.Maybe it is just me, but I have a real strong dislike for presuming the existence of deities just because.
I was not sure what you meant by that. Can you elaborate?As language tools, deities are great. As sources of inspiration, they are powerful, delicate ideas to be handled with due care.
As cosmological ideas, though, they are just a distraction.
Again, I was mot sure exactly what you meant by:That is an odd subject matter to address right after addressing the origin of existence with no transition and no context.
There is definitely no reason to presume cosmic significance to humanity. Human evolution is biological and cultural. Those are entirely separate fields from that of cosmology. Arguably, there can be no more distant fields, even.
No, we should not presume with no reason to presume.

Again, I was mot sure exactly what you meant by:
"addressing the origin of existence with no transition and no context" and
"no reason to presume cosmic significance to humanity."
From my pow yes, but in this tread i am only the neutral i do not let my view come onto this tread, i will only ask how but no judgment to the answer
Why are deity-ideas powerful and what are they useful for? Why do we need to take precautions?In a nutshell, I understand deity-ideas to be powerful and useful tools, but there are precautions that must come with their use.
No, they are not really linked.I found need for transition and context in your decision to talk about human evolution immediately after discussing the idea of a creator God, because to me one does not follow from the other at all.
Lets say the Atheists view are correct and there was no creator who put everything in motion.
My question would be, what was it that kickstarted the existance? Big bang? yes maybe, but what kickstarted the big bang?
If not Big bang what then?
I donot have an answer to it my self if i try to see it from an atheists POW. But they can ofcourse be correct just like religion can be correct.
In Buddhism too there is no creator.

Most what Atheists believe is just a theory that they blindly believe in and claim to be true. There is no difference between atheists and religious people. Both groups believe blindly.
No.So you don't think that being an atom of a radioisotope is not cause for decay of said atom?
One of the ironies of number theory, as I recall, is that there are no numbers. 'It was all Greek to me' was appropriate.Neat, I love number theory.

You have probably heard this often enough, but just in case: you are seriously mistaken about atheists and atheism.Most what Atheists believe is just a theory that they blindly believe in and claim to be true. There is no difference between atheists and religious people. Both groups believe blindly.
Ask God to Reveal Himself to you. That's what i am praying for, hopefully one day He will Reveal Himself to me.

Like many others I’m sure, I’ve often prayed “Talk to me. Lemme know what’s up?” What would I do confronted by a burning, talking bush? If a voice came to me in the night? Probably soil my undergarments!

OK, hadn't been aware of the block theory. Read a quick summary. Didn't get the "set in motion" thing. Probably didn't read enough. Very much a "Reader's Digest" type these days. No time? The universe just is? I can get in line with that. Just didn't get it from the "block" summary.block universe interpretation.
