I know for fact God Buddha exists, he blessed Leicester football team which had odds of 1 chance of winning in 5000! Not sure if other Gods are still alive or merely having a long sleep, but i am sure one day when they awake up, friends be prepared there won't be any quarks left in the entire universe. There can be 1 God, but there can be 2 Gods too , but there can be no God too, how much intelligent do you need to be to work out that probability?
Yes they won against all odds, thats a fact, Buddha's blessing done it, thats a fact, so you don't go around beating the bush either and tell your son that 49/50th of the world's population can't be wrong, and 1/50th is where I would say lies the problem and requires updating intelligence.
BTW, there is no such thing as beating around the bush in reality, so you need to update your intelligence. (update version is beating around the quarks)
Fatfred, you really wanted to say that people who believe in a God are of lower intelligence, and you used your inquisitive son into this, I wonder how old your son is, and if he knows anything about Quantum Physics and the theory of entanglement ? If he knows already, well and good but if not, he can see educational videos on Utube. (I have hand picked one below.)
He would realise that intelligence has nothing to do with God believing, certain things cannot be seen, detected, or otherwise, take subatomic particles that can behave strangely when being observed, and when not being observed, or when we want to observe something we think should exist, but upon searching everywhere we don't find it and we get very disappointed, but worry not, it is not the end of the universe, God has tricks up his sleeve, God is a quark too, spinning left and sometimes right, other times when you want to try and catch him he does a runner, hence no one has been able to catch him so far, but he is there according to quantum mechanics, but we cannot see everything that there is, 85% of the matter is unseen, or dark matter and dark Energy, and some things can be at two place at once, if you try to be at two places at once, you would split your groin, in which case one could say fatfred has balls in two places at once, I hope that makes sense.
Quantum physics defies logic as we know, did I not tell you when we last discussed about God that he is energy, so are you saying Energy does not exist? There is both negative and positive energy, when in equilibrium, there is zero net result or Nothing, when a small fluctuation occurs ( who causes this fluctuation I don't know or how this small fluctuation occurs i don't know) but something must cause this small fluctuation and the net result of negative and positive energy becomes imbalanced, and this can result in either negative or positive energy dominating over its counterpart, if positive energy wins, all hell breaks loose, and a mighty bang occurs and a universe is created, the rest is all science, I don't know why a small fluctuation occurred and who caused it, but common sense says it must have been caused by something or someone we cannot see. Nothing ever happens or moves unless someone pokes a finger.
After all things don't just happen by themselves do they?
Here is a hand picked link for you and your son to improve your intellect (no offence take) we all have duffere#nt levels of intellect yet we believe in things one way or another, hence God believing or Atheism does not require intellect.
Now don't be surprised i for a change brought Science into God thread to explain why some of you cannot see God!
But I can see him everywhere at once, and yet at the same time when I am trying to ask him a question he dodges me as if he hadn't seen me, he doesn't like entangling with us directly, he might send his representative and answer our questions that we have for him. God says use your loaf he has given you, he can't help it if we are so thick!
eflempudence, your question is so complex and requires a very lengthy answer and explanation, which will require all the energy that there is in our universe, i am sure you don't want me to do this do you? but I will just sum it up in 3 or 4 lines:
Those who are Religious, they failed to understand God
Those who understand God failed to understand Religions.
Both are man made and they both exist. it is how one sees and spreads his views on others. this includes Scientist and Religious bodies.
You got it mate, I do not believe in any Religion, but indeed in a Creator, call him what you like, I prefer to know him as Supreme Energy and the Master source of all things.
This will spin your head, either in left spin or in right spin, this would depend on your level of intellect.
Head can spin and if you ask anyone who has had one too many, he will tell you how fast his head is spinning and in which direction, again do not confuse the direction, if you see surrounding images spinning to left, that really means your head is actually spinning in the right direction (I call it right spin drunk) and if you see images spinning in right direction you are left spin drunk. If you do not have any spin, that means you are sober, and intelligent. (intelligent people drink but don't get carried away like some religious fanatics, who get drunk on bullshit they get to stuff in their heads))
100% true big-all and I can't stop thinking about it! To be honest, apart from one poster I would really love to meet in person, I've never given a second thought to the sort of people who are behind the various user names. However, now that I've encountered one, I have started to wonder. BTW, I held back on the details of my fellow travellers description.
