oh wow, a site mod actually talked in this. happy to see you don't immediately shut this down, man . OK, so here's how i see the 2 sides. side 1: Religion. this is religion as a whole, but the more prominent one i'm talking about is Christianity, because it's the one i'm more familiar with. OK, so in the beginning a god or gods created the world. already we find potholes. where did this god come from? how does he have all of this power? why make US, imperfect beings that are screwing up every day? when they created it, they created all other complex beings made from thin air. we can't just poof into existence, that would require infinite amounts of energy. so unless Zeus was there with his lightning bolt to make us here? i'm not seeing where all of this energy came from, unless he had the power to do this. oh, and after they made us, they where just like. here's some free will and some prophesies that will come true and answer all of your questions. but, the only problem is, they DIDN'T answer all of our questions! things are still just missing! just as well, some things just don't match up! according to a religious website i read awhile ago, Noah (created the arc) was over 600 years old, and his father more than that! why don't we all live to that age! and why have the gods or god not spoken to us now that more things are easily spreadable. it took the bible hundreds of years to spread around Europe, where multiple split-offs created their own bibles! (Lutherans and Mormons and such). but here's the other side; side 2. The big bang has some evidence, but like always, there is not absolute proof. evolution seems to be great, and i personally find little flaw in this, but how did we get here in the first place, and why is earth in the perfect spot? a moon to control the tides, a perfect rotation speed to make a perfect temperature range, a sun in mid-life for plenty of time to grow up, an earth with little things that easily kill us (i know about illness, but now it's not so prominent) it just seems like these little things are so perfect, it's almost like a divine intervention. like i earlier said, we simply don't know.
but it sure would be nice for everyone to hear how we got here by some celestial being or something.
I believe, and most Catholics, integrate theology with the aspect of God. That God is this being in order to explain why everything happened. What happened before the big bang? What happened to cause the thing that caused the Big bang, and it goes on to infinite.
I wanna say that we are imperfect because imperfection is a thing we must overcome. However, being imperfect makes life more exciting in my opinion. With all of our problems solved there wouldn't be a lot to do. Imperfection is just how nature works.
We are all apart of this huge-ass thing called the universe. Like I said, bible shouldn't be taken word for word. A lot of the stuff in the Old Testament is mythological stories such as the Adam and Eve thing.
Life on earth is pretty much coincidental, but you gotta think, this places has billions and billions of Galaxies each containing a near infinite amount of stars in which almost all of them have planets. You gotta think that at that point there's gotta be that planet that can support life, in fact quite a few. I believe scientists have found some planets that are in that sweet spot range.
TL;DR: God is a thing we utilize to explain the unexplainable.
Could I use that it is a really good quote?
