DanetteTN915 Everyone has their own. Why are we trying so hard to go into outer space, when we should really be exploring inner space? 010401 ... The Truth The Universe, in all of its glorious beauty, has unfathomable secrets. However, there are certain constants that can be identified and solved. There is a pattern of life in the universe. A liquid pattern that repeats itself in all of the systems. Consider the following analogy. I call it my Theory of Fruition --1-- --2-- --3-- --4-- . seed - sprout - bloom - reproduce. comet - planet - life - offspring. sperm - fetus - birth- pregnancy. Ever notice how much a comet and a sperm look alike? There is an ancient hebrew name for the process of "God condensing an area of Himself in order to make room for the creation." I think it's called ZimZum, but I'll have to double check. The universe is alive, and is our "mother" for we were born in her. Anyway. Before the universe there was only God, not even visible light yet. only unseen forces. Just an infinite sea of perfection. Then, there was a beginning to the universe, the Big Bang, the birth, the planting of the first seed. A certain section of this infinite sea condensed and shrank down into a single point, smaller than the head of a needle. Then...It exploded, sprouted, bloomed! The seed grew, and produced seed-bearing fruit [of galaxies, which created stars and solar systems, which created planets, which created life forms, and on and on.] Now, there is US! God is the Father Life is the Mother and We are meant to be One with the Child of Perfection (Christ). 010420 ... sapphire_ unexplainable. encompassing. all creation. complications and simplicity art on the maker's easel... reminding me that there is a god keeper of the stars that sing and planets that spin.. life and laughter; containing you and me. 010420 ... lost the universe is so unjust. 010420 ... imitator imagination-stretching, limitless possiblities, everything man could ever explore and never completely explain, yet barely a speck in His eyes: amazing. all the proof i could ever need. 010420 ... god GOD. it looks bigger when capitalized. 010518 ... phil I used to close my eyes, and think about the stars int he skys, then I would take away all the stars.

Uni-one verse-spoken word or phrase Genesis 1 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was[1] formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. 3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning--the first day. 6 And God said, "Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water." 7 So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. And it was so. 8 God called the expanse "sky." And there was evening, and there was morning--the second day. 9 And God said, "Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear." And it was so. 10 God called the dry ground "land," and the gathered waters he called "seas." And God saw that it was good. 11 Then God said, "Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds." And it was so. 12 The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening, and there was morning--the third day. 14 And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth." And it was so. 16 God made two great lights--the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. 17 God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth, 18 to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening, and there was morning--the fourth day. 20 And God said, "Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky." 21 So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 God blessed them and said, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth." 23 And there was evening, and there was morning--the fifth day. 24 And God said, "Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind." And it was so. 25 God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. 26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth,[2] and over all the creatures that move along the ground." 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. 28 God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground." 29 Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 30 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground--everything that has the breath of life in it--I give every green plant for food." And it was so. 31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning--the sixth day. 010726 ... ares and then, on the seventh day, god got bored, and went to do something more interesting than watch over his creation occasionally he returned, in the form of jesus, and a few other divine moments now god has forgotten us, or is ignoring us and i cannot blame him but i also cannot care 011110 ... Dafremen This is what we DO know: God may or may not exist and it is a personal matter between an individual and his own conscience as to whether or not he feels he can believe that there is a God. We know that empirical science has established a sequence of events which constitutes not only a plausible explanation of the beginnings of the human species, but the beginnings of our planet, solar system and universe. We are even on the verge of knowing the truth of the origin and nature of our universe. But we definitely have enough to know that it's all the same stuff. We know that we've all come from the Earth and we're all going back into it. We know our creator any way you slice it, atheists, god-fearing and uncaring alike. Now, there may or may not be a god, and I don't think that point need be debated any further.

Yeah, ouch. 020227 ... birdmad Oy, ... already had this argument with our pal "The_Truth" what i love is the condescending attitude of remarks like the one above when trying to make a point first of all, the concept of the origin of the universe is a complex enough idea as it is without having to add the extra layer of some anthropomorphic being called "god" just deciding one day that he was going to create this whole twisted sideshow strictly for his own amusement to complicate matters any further Oh, wait, i forgot, the frequently mistranslated and selectively interpreted writings of little hairy men who wandered around the desert and whose explanations always amount to "because god said so, that's why" holds more weight than what can be learned through deductive reasoning and sound logic and of course i still dare anyone to answer the question of why did an all-powerful and all-knowing god create something that he knew he was going to destroy anyway why should something as brief as one lifetime determine something as long as eternity? and how unfair and unjust is it that any non-believers who died were, presumptively damned even if they lived in a place where the Word never reached them...when the first christian missionaries to preach to the arctic peoples told them about the fires of hell, the people wanted to know how they could get there if heaven is perfect why did a third of the heavenly host choose to fight it? if, according to various bits and pieces of scripture, parents are accountble for their bad children and the devil is god's errant creation then is he not, according to his own word responsible for satan I've heard it said and sung that "he knew you before you were formed in the womb" ... predestination? if Jesus is Lord, then how could the Lord be anything but immune to the "temptation" set before him by his inferior adversary? i've argued all these things before. if there is a god, i will side with the deists who said that perhaps he is there and perhaps he created us, but like a clockmaker once he wound the spring and set us in motion we were no longer his concern ouch, indeed. 020227 ...

The Truth birdmad- I am glad that it was you authoring that post up there, You have asked some EXCELLENT questions, and you bring up some valid points. I do so enjoy our discussions. and so, If I may, A Retort. I would like to answer a few of your questions. I quote you saying: "and of course i still dare anyone to answer the question of why did an all-powerful and all-knowing god create something that he knew he was going to destroy anyway " -- Haven't you ever made anything, built it, designed it? Like a sand castle... or a garden? These things, (like the Earth is to God), could bring you great pleasure, but... they require maintainence, and you probably wounldn't want to keep them around FoReVeR. So you dispose with it according to your own plans and desires. You do not concern yourself with the sand fleas in your sand castle, or the worms in your garden... You destroy them at will... However you WoulD harvest your garden before you're through, carefully selecting your choicest fruits, especially your favorite variety, the one's you LOVE. For God, according to Scripture (which has never been proven wrong.) His choicest fruit is humankind, and he certainly loves us! But since He is God, and Perfect, and Just, it is impossible for Him to touch evil. evil cannot be with God. and so, He knew He was going to destroy the universe eventually anyway, but because of Love, because He Loves His little humans, he wants us to return Home, carrying with us all of our experiences of Loving Him amid all the chaos. And this all, in a big way, gives God PLEASURE, which, as we all know, pleasure is a very powerful motivational force. And since we are presumably created in God's image, we have a similar range of emotions. Love, anger, rage, compassion, mercy... Pleasure motivated God to do it. I Hope I'm not complicating matters further... "why should something as brief as one lifetime determine something as long as eternity?" -- I am not even going to pretend that I know the answer to this question... "and how unfair and unjust is it that any non-believers who died were, presumptively damned even if they lived in a place where the Word never reached them..." -- Please, do not forget that God is Merciful. God is Justice! Everyone will be allowed to give their account to God. Judgment will be a fair process... People are judged "according to their deeds". We all instinctively understand morality, We ALL know right from wrong. God created the wonderful process of Forgiveness which will allow our evil deeds to be Overlooked." "when the first christian missionaries to preach to the arctic peoples told them about the fires of hell, the people wanted to know how they could get there" -- That's funny! "if heaven is perfect why did a third of the heavenly host choose to fight it? " -- Simple, because God gave to them, as He gave to us, Free Will. They chose to. (But of course, it is impossible for God not to have foreseen that...") See below... "if, according to various bits and pieces of scripture, parents are accountble for their bad children and the devil is god's errant creation then is he not, according to his own word responsible for satan" -- YES. He created satan first, before all else... and made him second only to God. Satan wanted to be first. And so all that Satan committed in this process, jealosy, murder, lies... greatly displeased God(to put it mildly). These acts were labeled evil forevermore and all who repeated them would only be contributing to that first act of Separation from God (thus distancing themselves). "I've heard it said and sung that 'he knew you before you were formed in the womb' ... predestination? " -- Yes, presdestination ( I'll admit, one of my favorite blather debates ever!) "if Jesus is Lord, then how could the Lord be anything but immune to the "temptation" set before him by his inferior adversary? " -- If Jesus is Lord, then we must not forget that he was also human, born and raised, and was susceptable to the same pressures of temptation that we are. "i've argued all these things before. " -- I hope you won't mind arguing them again. "if there is a god, i will side with the deists who said that perhaps he is there and perhaps he created us, but like a clockmaker once he wound the spring and set us in motion we were no longer his concern " -- I too concur with this analogy about God being the Almighty Clockmaker, but when has a clockmaker ever made a clock and never again made it his concern? When a clockmaker makes a clock, this is usually just the beginning of the relationship which, in some cases, lasts the rest of the clocks lifetime. "ouch, indeed. " -- What were you saying about condescension? 020918 ... The Truth Oh, whoops... and about parents being accountable for their children, well, first of all the wording was actually that children would be punished for the sins of their parents, which is just another way of saying that your genetic capacity for sin will be passed to your descendents through inheiritance... Which, if you think about it, suggests that even people's capacity for a sinful nature can be designed in advance through genetics. 020918 ... cresentwhench See Also deep_ponderance_of_life . 021129 ... correction tape cresentwhench err... deep_ponderence_of_life 021129 ... zander "i think the surest sign of intelligent alien life is that none of it has tried to contact us." -Calvin and hobbes author Bill Watterson. 030101 ... zander Did god create the Universe? was it the big bang?

She stared into my glazed eyes, with a dash of sadness, and asked, "Who created G-d? He created lots of other things...but who created him. Did he become born from the universe?" I looked over to the small child and answered, "I don't know." 030726 ... the mad reason uhh hello is anyone there? I am fucking like almost stoned sober (FUBARed) (fucked up beyond all recognition) so i apologise in advance for offending anyone, im not trying to piss anyone off, just trying to make a point in an amusinfg and shokingly insightful (and intulectually stimulatindg) manner why do you people argue?, christianity and science can go together, its just us and the corrupted-by-man parts of the bible (and our inturptritation threrof) that fucks it all up. the bible was written (or copied or re written) by the hands of a man and thus by theologcal agument is invarably flawed, we cannot take it in a blind religous faith even within the bounds of religous logic because we fucking wrote it. To deny the observations of scientifidsc inquerey is to blindly dstick ones head in ones ass, there are species of single cellded life which didnt EXIST a few centuries ago: evolution in observation. but to deny the existence of chaos (god) within the ulltimate causality of the universe is to say that this causality is the result of previous causality on into infinity, which kinda messes with your head as it becaomes the anthropisc agument ie "the universe exists because we are here to question its existence, and it has always been thus" However the universe is not infinite in age which dictates that this very idea of cause and effect is an inherent paradox as there must be a beginning in the chain, somehting to set the temporal transformation of the universe according to natural law in motion. Thus the idea of atheism is an inherent paradox. We must accept a point of causality which is not the result of previous caucsality in order to explain the origin of a wuniverse which is not infinite in age. We must accept the ifdea of chaos, of free witll which violated causality, existing indepenedt of natural law. Wheter or not God is that point of chaos is however, indescernable but however, probable. To anwser that question requires adepper understanding of whoat is itself is (and the nature of causality violating chaos), which would require more weed thena i can possible afford As far as orthodox religion goes... what you do in a church all dressed up while trying to buy an admission ticket to the afterlife by saying words written in a book in a certan order doesnt make you a christion, its what you do outside the church. personally I think the stories in the bible are excellent metaphors, stories to teach virtues and lessons on how to live, but who knows. Mabey it really is a histrical text and i am a blashopeying bastarfd. what i wan to know is, Who is man to impose any fucking religiouss dogma or structure upon God? WHo the hell do we think we are to create or dictate a religion anyways? Mabey im wrong, mabey im a hypocrite and mabey ill burn in hell, but not for the reasons some damn scribe in the 13th centruy thought up while he was takeing a shit on a break from selling indulgences and banging ten year olds.... science has been tenativly proven through observation of relaity, and i KNOW God exists... its not a matter of faith... and i only hope the two can be reconciled in the eyes of man before belief in one of the two is destroyed 030726 ... the mad reason but i do have the gangja power to say that such a point of omnicient chaos would exist indepenedntly of the laws of causlaity, and hence nothing had to nessicsrily create god, nor did god have to have a creation. Nothing we observe within this universe and the preconceptions associated therewith can be applied to that which is possible beyond. 030726 ... Death_angel I really hate the universe coz it confuses me. How do we know that we are alone? We dont. We dont even know whats on the outside of the universe! Is it nothing? And what is nothing? We cant ever see nothing coz if its white then its not nothing is it? Is heaven and hell on the other side? And if there is then do aliens believe in god too? I dont believe in god but i think there is SOMETHING on the other side. I dont think were all these lil random squirts. OO theres a thought, maybe this really advanced alien has made the whole universe as like a science project and like 1 second to them is 1 billion years so its sitting on their window right now. But then that means that there must be a planet, or maybe theres just this MASSIVE world for no reason! AHHH so much to think about! by the way you can really tell u like philosophy 031020 ... Lemon_Soda These are all valid theories, but they don't really mean much other than a topic of conversation. What matters is what you believe, and then, it only really matters to you. My universe is me and all that encompasses me. My dreams, hopes, feelings, experiences, freinds, enemies, family, blah, blah, blah. You get the idea. I quite frequently visit other people's universes. Interesting places. Some get a little weird, but hey, who am I to say? I know what the universe is. I know how I started it. I know what its for. I know when it will end. I just hope you, fellow creators of the infinite, are willing to remember me when that time comes when I say "Your universe is what you want it to be, so make it a good one." 031020 ... nom :) 031020 ... Philosopher Knight the set of all things. It is therefore infinite in both time and space. (And of course there can only be one set of all things.) 031102 ... Dark God Perhaps but a norm, beyond norm's. Understanding and functioning within a pocket of a dimension, perhaps a gateway to a reality more real, then we have ever known. It is a perception among an infinite weave of possibility and endless choice, that enslaves us to the encampment we call life. It has its limits for its existence, while it pressures us to always push past the line we draw for ours, and we strive to pursue ends to means that do not exist in nature, or reality, or the universe for that matter. It is a constant craving for something we do not understand, that overwhelms us each day, with a furvor unmatched by even the wrath of God, that compells us all to diligently move forward throughout the universe, with a drive so powerful it has no explanation. The infinite possibilites that allow change to commence, exist because of the core values of existence, and nature. These values have no real definition within words, as it is more or less felt through life, then seen through literation. It can be accompanied in ways that one may never really understand, but at a focusing point in life, a realization has fused to our soul. We cannot describe this process as such of a scientific approach, as science only nullifies spiritual beliefs. It can be said, that science is the root of why magic has died within the universe, but it can also be said that a new magic has been formed, because of it. A land beyond any legends reach, or myths that defile the meaning of our lives. A world where machines are our saving grace, and the lord is simply an idealism to cherish, and hold. The lives we spend endlessly focusing ourselves on tasks that we feel redeem our qualities as human beings, existing in a universe so vast, conception of it has barely been scathed on the surface. We find comfort in knowing that we search, high and low, for something to give us meaning for our existence. Something to relate to, so we have a feeling of fulfillment that we can hold close to our hearts to acknowledge that we lived another day, with some sort of happiness involved. It is this process in which we find, the universe is bound. 031208 ... notme i found that most interesting (dark god) 031209 ...

Say somewhere along the lines of random parity you became a word. Something more complex. Although still simple because you're still basically an elegant and intricate combination of dots, you're now something new. There could be combinations of words that may seem to have no meaning, some are apparent gibberish, other combinations of dots that formed out of the same randomness, but their meaning is different from yours, others are like you. The difference however, is only in the meaning it carries, remember you're all still basically dots, so you're all, in essence the same. Given the environment of dots to form new patterns. Those words can also change meaning over time. Some can even form sentences. Now... you're reading this because you picked a word. Imagine you're that concious word. It is a digital word that links, not only meaning, but thoughts, ideas, emotions, feelings, it broutght you here. If it were a concious word trying to reach for its meaning...it might travel the entire internet, finding links and clues for its existance. Although it is simple, if it searches it'll find new meanings, new things. It'll understand itself and everything around it better, even if its universe consists only of words. It'll apply its essence to the extent of itself to describe, if only with dots, all that it can mean. 040803 ... right before I left It is only such a big thing because our mind thinks so.
