he wasn't born a crip....he has lougherics disease..and no he's not the smartest physicist alive..he just gets a lot of press for being a crip and he does use it to his advantage..

Given the precise laws of physics and their quantifiable values, with an infinite amount of time, ANYTHING is possible.  The evolution of the brain, and then the emergence of consciousness and intelligence, were INEVITABLE.

Top Gear...was that it...
haven't seen it, but Top Gear does show some good shit, and sometimes sensationalizes other things.
I think the main thing is less reliance on oil, eventually the hybrids will give way to full electric or Mag-Lev type vehicles, right now we are seeing a transition from the archiac "combustion engine", it just coincides with "enviromentalism". Unfortunately, there is cost for everything, unless there is more money spent on magnetism, anti-gravity, etc...(Coral Castle, anyone?)

Imaginary numbers are still viewed today as being absurd by some people, particularly non mathematicians.

A few hundred years ago, negative numbers were also deemed absurd, that they had no real purpose or practical use.

Yeah, I've read versions of your statement before.  Too bad it doesn't aid the fields of micro and cellular biology in their search for the origin of life.  Hey, at least the world can fall back on good ole metaphysics to eliminate the God fairytale.
I just like the general idea that imaginary numbers are the only way to eliminate the God creation singularity.

Stephen Hawking's modified string theory contains imaginary numbers which are completely self-serving and eliminate the need for a singular creation event.  Replace the imaginary numbers with real numbers and the problem of needing a singular creation event "magically" reappears.

Why are they so "imaginary?"  
There's nothing more imaginary about them then there is about the square root of two.  

Singularities don't arise because of the real number line.  To "get a solution" in general relativity, you need to contract a vector from the cotangent space in order to map the tangent space to the real numbers.  
Hell, quantum mechanics requires the use of complex numbers and even maps directly to the complex plane instead of the real numbers....which doesn't matter because you still have to map to those complex numbers with the dual space....giving real number solutions.  

Allowing the space-time manifold to include the complex plane isn't any kind of novel idea that Hawking has and it certainly isn't anything new in any form of string theory.  Given the right scenarios, you can replace "imaginary numbers" with real numbers and cause the mathematics to blow up at every point of space-time, and vice versa.  

What the hell does it even mean for imaginary numbers to be "self serving?"

Get rid of the Devil's Henchmen, Jesse and Al, and they will, unfortunately in the black community it's taboo to go against a Reverend or someone reppin the black church or part of the civil rights era...the thinking is that they deserve the utmost respect, even when they are wrong and leading you into the flames of ignorance and ineptitude.

If there wasn't, there wouldn't be nature.  

Mathematics is just a language that is built from as few assumptions as possible, where every new identity has to be "proven" and other mathematicians win prize and praise for proving ideas wrong, and is continually devoted to removing ambiguities.  
Any language developed under the same pretense would do the same thing.

Why are they so "imaginary?" 
There's nothing more imaginary about them then there is about the square root of two. 

Singularities don't arise because of the real number line.  To "get a solution" in general relativity, you need to contract a vector from the cotangent space in order to map the tangent space to the real numbers. 
Hell, quantum mechanics requires the use of complex numbers and even maps directly to the complex plane instead of the real numbers....which doesn't matter because you still have to map to those complex numbers with the dual space....giving real number solutions. 

Allowing the space-time manifold to include the complex plane isn't any kind of novel idea that Hawking has and it certainly isn't anything new in any form of string theory.  Given the right scenarios, you can replace "imaginary numbers" with real numbers and cause the mathematics to blow up at every point of space-time, and vice versa. 

What the hell does it even mean for imaginary numbers to be "self serving?" 

You know exactly what I said so go ahead and replace "self serving" with whatever words you feel more comfortable with. Regardless, nothing changes about what I simply stated.

You know the relation between the complex plane and the real number line, right?

I get it, but it seems that everything has purpose, even if, something may evolve to extremes like Smilodon, who was a apex predator that preyed on megafauna, once megafauna died out (apparently due to humans, according to one theory), they couldn't adapt or evolve quick enough, so no Smilodon...
Or the fact that the lowly roach can survive millions of yrs, do to it's adaptability....purpose, what purpose does one serve, and is that the ultimate goal, in reality, is that truly the embodiment of God, purpose?

Funny (for me) he announced this now cuz i just picked up The Black Hole War Sunday...great book btw

imo: as evil as it is to say it, Hawking is/was a one-hit-wonder and i think is trying (a second time - he tried this in the past w/ the announcement that black holes destroy info - starting the "war") to break back into the limelight one more time before he fades into oblivion.

and i hate it when these guys inject religion/philosophy into science/technical where there is no room for such garbage...scientists are all about proving shit, so when one comes out and says "i have a feeling but cant prove it either way", I want to slap them silly

nope. apparently, you dont understand the essence of God.

 unless you understand his eternal presence and acknowledge the necessity for an ultimate creator, you dont have the ability to speak about him with any accuracy, because you lack the fundamental knowledge required to grasp his existence.


god is infinite, eternal, omnipotent. that is the definition.  if God was not any one of those things, then he would not be God. so, God must be eternal, and also must exist, because it is in his very essence to be so.

Hell, we haven't even explored the furtherest depth of our oceans, let alone have better underwater vehicles than a submarine---which is the marine equivalent to a blimp.

We just "discover" a new from..."discover" is a inappropriate word, because the from has always been where it was.

all i know is that its very silly for humans to try to wrap their heads around, and try to prove and disprove the nature and existence of a GOD-being...........i dont believe we have the necessary information, nor do we have the capacity to understand the motivations of a God...........


it would be like an ant trying to understand the complex emotional make-up of a human being.............an ant just does not have the hardware to make understanding a human even possible



how arrogant humans are though.........like they said before..............we have explored less then 1% of the earths oceans..........have not taveled further then our own moon.......and have been industrialized for like a hundred years...............but here were are saying that god does not exist, and that the universe is blah, blah, blah

So you gotta assume your guess will work out for the best. To me it's an evolutionary advantage, to beleif in a supreme being so I'm gonna since afterall I'm only human.

We can pretty much prove God flat out wrong as described in the bible , absolutely.

thats a very good post
all i know is that its very silly for humans to try to wrap their heads around, and try to prove and disprove the nature and existence of a GOD-being...........i dont believe we have the necessary information, nor do we have the capacity to understand the motivations of a God...........


it would be like an ant trying to understand the complex emotional make-up of a human being.............an ant just does not have the hardware to make understanding a human even possible



how arrogant humans are though.........like they said before..............we have explored less then 1% of the earths oceans..........have not taveled further then our own moon.......and have been industrialized for like a hundred years...............but here were are saying that god does not exist, and that the universe is blah, blah, blah


its just funny................we are so stupid and arrogant


also a very good post.

we're so simple and arrogant it's laughable.  We die of things like blood clots and slippery sidewalks... yet we are brash enough to believe we know the origins of the huge and massive universe(s).

We crap in diapers for 2 years, we marry the wrong people, we drink til we vomit, we spend decades in the wrong career... yet we feel we are wise enough to believe we "know" the universe came from this or that.

In 1000 years, scientists will totally just laugh at what we thought we knew in 2010.  They'll see us like we see the caveman, given the amount of innovation and technology the world will see by then.  Our thinking will be compared to animals... "They went BALD?"  or "They ate the flesh of living creatures" or "They lived to be less than 200? WTF"

They will pity our shitty existence, and all the silly things we thought we knew.  As will the people that come 1000 years after them.

Humans are stupid & arrogant enough to create God to explain the unexplained at the time , ' he ' wreaks of human arrogance , stupidity , frailty and petty jealousies and flaws which proves beyond a doubt it's a story with lowly human origins written

I'd rather think beleif in god is humbleness not arrogance. It takes humbleness to believe there is something we don't quite get. Trying to say what that something is, starts all the arrogance. If you get what I mean. It takes a great deal of wisdom to say their is a god, and a great deal of selfish arrogance to say he thinks you are important.

I disagree , it takes faith to believe something you don't quite get and faith is the lack of evidence. And God is the epitome of arrogance , he creates humans with flaws and then punishes them for said flaws and then needs constant praise and adoration , which proves his human origins

the whole idea is retarded , he's going to create an entire Universe just for humans to hang out for a while obey him , praise him and then if your lucky you get to another place all together  ::) and if not Oh Boy  ::)

God needs to be obeyed and praise it really doesn't get much more arrogant than that.

It's of the utmost arrogance to think that there is no god or creator.

The evidence is right in front of you. Look at the order of the universe and the incredible depth of human emotions. No other "animals" have such a range.

Religion is where the understanding of God gets messed up.

If there is no God, eternal soul or after life, what's the point of living? Just kill yourself now. You won't know the difference.

But yet, something is stopping you from offing yourself? What exactly is it?

And don't say inbred survival instinct. It's something greater than that.

Their is no evidence, you just want to believe to calm yourself and lessen your anxiety, their isn't order in the universe, look closer. And WTF do you mean that no other animals have such a range, are you comparing the animals on this planet to the ones in the other galaxy you visited last night wile tripping on LSD.  And what about those that do "OFF" themselves, something didn't stop them now did it.  I think the thing that stops people from offing themselves is it is easier to go on living in pain than to face the unknown, only when the pain becomes unbearable do people off themselves.  Better the devil you know.

Anyone that thinks science can answer questions of god is out the lunch. Science is a human invention relevant to humans. We can't see 1000 years into the future, we can't prove or disprove god. It's unknown to us. We can disprove a book or a belief, but it's near impossible to disprove god, At least through our limited human existence.
Talk about contradictory, God is a human invention, just a belief, which, to quote you "We can disprove a book or a belief"  And I think that science has  a better chance answering questions about a hypothetical god than on-line philosophers and zealots.

There is a creator - proof is that we're all here.  Something created us.  Something created gravity which started it all.  Something pushed that button.

None of us can prove nor disprove exactly what this creator is - but the fact we're here is proof something created us.

I believe in a higher power, I believe that faith and prayer can change lives and heal and make a difference.  I don't believe what a book says - I believe what I believe.
You poor sorry simpleton.  What you believe is in thousands of books.  You can have faith in the life process and not believe in a so called "Higher Power".  Prayer is just wishful thinking believed by morons who cant rationally come to a conclusion.  If you and I both pray for opposing things, how can both our prayers be answered.  People who believe in prayer are afraid and unwilling to accept that life contains suffering, disease, sickness and obstacles that cant be overcome leading to death.  Learn to feel and accept your humanness and you will no longer need to pray. Stop bothering God.  If you were created by a god, don't you think it selfish to constantly bother him with prayer when he has already given you all you need to get through your life.  Man up and stop relying on something other than yourself.

Perhaps it is you that is arrogant for assuming to know what an ant knows -  it is not arrogance to suggest that god doesn't exist, just a factual statement-  Wether or not god exists is irrelevant, one could simply live their life and never hear of the concept of god and still live a healthy and productive life.  Even if a god did exist, it is not important.

but that being said, he is still a very smart man..........to claim otherwise is silly
Religions, for thousands of years having been claiming to understand how the universe exists, how the fuck would they know who created the universe.  If billions of people can put forward such a retarded make believe theory of god, then why cant one eductaed man in the laws of physics propose his idea.  His theories make a lot more sense than some retard claiming" Duh, maybe just God created the whole thing"  To me people who believe in God are intellectually lazy, how easy is it to look at the complexity of the universe and spew out "It must be a god".  This is the catch cry of the idiot who no longer wants to think about the deeper mystery of the universe so he can go eat lunch and then start a war.

When Hawkings dies, that mere mortal, which will occur soon, I'll let you the adamant non believer try the following - extract Hawkings from the his afterlife and ask him about God. Unless its possible no one can tell that there is no afterlife which by itself proves that God exists. You must be new here but I'm not going to debate with you, I know your the following train of thoughts. >:(
You seem to have a lot of pre conceived ideas, what makes you think you meet god in the afterlife, what happens after death is unknown to the living.  And how you came to the conclusion that because we cant bring people back from the afterlife proves Gods existence, well, how can you argue with that non logic. that's absurd.  I just realised that this response was a joke, because no serious individual could post such a ludicrous statement. I get it now, thanks for the laugh

eggh god................answe r me honestly, are you fucking retarded




see, humans have these things that are called BRAINS...............you might have heard of them ...........they weight like 8 lbs and are responsible for memory, thought, and higher motor function and reasoning



ants...............do not have the hardware...........they have brains that are like 1/1,000,000 the size of ourse.............and support the most basic of functions like motor-control and smell............and they exhibit a hive mind, where the groups shows a collective intellect



ants are incapable of going "im in a bad mood today, i feel sad"..............just like they are incapable of going "i miss my dead mother"............or "they sky is blue"...........and a matter of fact, they cannot communicate to themselves at all because they have no higher reasoning, language, or emotion centers

they are pre-programmed, and function like very simple robots would function





stop embarrassing yourself adn saying "how do you know what ants think".................you just look like a fucking idiot, like really, you sound like a child




bye the way, you double your previous ignorance saying "ants live peacefully".............ant society is more violent and then you can possibly imagine

Animals develop a balance with their natural surroundings and thrive on ingrained instincts and behavioural patterns. The more successful and resilient a species is, the more of it is found in more places. But they live for the sake of surviving long enough to reproduce, to make sure the species as a whole perpetuates. When they can't cope with the environmental conditions, they die out.

Your saying ants live "peacefully" seems to imply that they choose a higher path morally / conceptually, out of the many choices they have, which is not true. They devote all their energy to doing whatever is needed to perpetuate their population. They are just as territorial as other insects or animals, and can be just as destructive in their own ways. They are not noble nor are they capable of conceptual ways of thinking.

Humans are animals biologically, but also much more than that. Our way of surviving is by manipulating the natural resources around us to further our cause and way / standard of living. Yes, we make tons of mistakes and will keep doing so, but that doesn't negate any of our achievements, from our understanding of all that we know so far to everything we've created, be it good or bad.

Technologically, we are in the adolescent stage of development, which is why things are so unstable. That doesn't mean that we aren't capable of improving. You can't look at a snapshot of a process (that evolves over millions of years) in a very early stage and conclude that the conditions at the time of observation will remain unchanged.

exactly


the are not neutral to the enviornment and "peaceful" because of some conscientious decision or altruistic purpose

its just how they are programmed to function



and saying we should look at ants as some moral barometer............... .......take a look at those old science videos to see what happens to one of the ants in a colony the second it gets hurt, or the second it comes back dificient, or with a different smell on it.......it gets cannabalized unmercifully

then look at a video of what happens when one ant colony/species comes into contact with another........they fight until one side is left

Some of you guys are implying that Hawking denies god altogether; I don’t think he explicitly states that, at least not from the article reviews I’ve read.  He just says it doesn’t require a god to create a universe, that a universe can be self replicating. The ridiculous responses on yahoo like he’s going to burn in hell for such a thought is a reminder that we are still not out of the Middle Ages, at least with respect to free thought and ideas.  Can he be wrong? Of course, but if there is anyone qualified for such an opinion, I would put my money on Hawking over any religious layman.  A lot of people think that all these scientists do is come up with wacky, unsubstantiated ideas on par with anyone’s, but the reason the good ones stick around, like Theory of Relativity and the Big Bang, is because they can’t be put down, and remember, there are many people out there, for money and recognition, that want to!

Hahaha, Epic Fail and a logical fallacy. I love when theists say this. You can say that about anything and get away with it. Oh brother. It takes the burden of proof of the theist  ::) ::) It is such a cop out to avoid a logical and rational debate.
first of all, no matter what argument you try to make it will always contain a logical fallacy. unless what your trying to prove is circular in logic, then it will inevitabely contain fallacy. both deduction and induction are unfit methods for finding certain truth.  

secondly, there was no logical fallacy in what i wrote, it was only circular. that doesnt make it untrue, it only makes it self-dependant and redundant in nature.

thirdy, the only reason the argument does not make sense to you is because you fail to grasp the essence of God. if you understood, then you would understand.



theres many proofs of God.  take for one: the space/time universe and all the "mass-energy" inside of it  contains several fatal flaws to the notion that it is self-sustaining.  its obvious based upon what we know of existence, the constituints  of all things, and of the evolution of space and life on earth. that there is a necessary transcendental driving force that must have created it all in the beginnning and also give everything the continued energy to continue existing and evolving.

yes, one reason atheists dont believe is they dont understand the necessity of negative and evil.  the eastern religions understood this and made it known much better than the western religions. people think of God as all powerful and totally "good". and he is, but they think that if such a God existed, then life on earth would be completely free of evil and bad things and negativity. they dont understand the conept of yin and yang.. there can be no good without bad.  its part of this beautiful system


another reason is because they feel like the only reason people believe is because they are scared of death and hope they can find eternal life in God. personally, while eternal life would be nice (i think), and God certainly has the power to give that to us, i dont find any evidence of that happening, so i dont believe in it. God created this physical world in order for it to spring life, and to give that blessing of life to all the inhabitants that would evolve out of his universe. we get what time we are given, and thats it.  we are sprung out of material body, and it doesnt appear that we can live on once our material body is deceased.

so because something can be explained mechanically, it no longer has a need for God?

dont you understand that if anything is to exist it has to be able to be explained mechanically.. that is the rules, the physics of our universe.

of course everything can be broken down and epxlained. that in no way discredits God. you are the ignorant one.



sf- why would god care about drug addiction? i am hurting no one. your showing your ignorance once again by falling into the trap of thinking that the only possible god is the god touted by modern day catholics and christians.  God does not create arbitrary rules, what we should and shoudl not do, based on no moral logic. the things which god does not want us to do are the things that hurt others.

According to modern physics, the Universe appears to be 'uncaused'.

I posted this, with mucho corroborating evidence on the Religion here forum here a while back. I'm too busy working these days to search for it. Arguing contrarily with zero evidence is merely wishful thinking. Hawking is merely stating publicly something which most theoretical physicists already know. The reasons many don't go public is for fear of funding cuts and the fact most physicists don't really give a shit. They're more concerned with their work/research than debating metaphysics and religion. Metaphysics does not equal reality btw.

oh no, god wants me to be a morally virtous person. while i have no fear of telling people that morals are real and god wants you to have them, and while i do try to be a good person, i at times do bad things, knowing they are bad, and knowing god dissapproves. knowing god doesnt necessarily mean you are anything like god.  i dont believe in the bible or the devil, but just for referance' sake, the devil knew god, believed in god, and knew the morals god supported. but that didnt make the devil a good person.

God may not have created the universe and Stephen Hawking may be the smartest person in the world but how do you take a guy seriously when he can't even have his teeth cleaned properly. They are fucking filthy. He wears suit and tie so he obviously gives a fuck ::)

so because something can be explained mechanically, it no longer has a need for God?

dont you understand that if anything is to exist it has to be able to be explained mechanically.. that is the rules, the physics of our universe.

of course everything can be broken down and epxlained. that in no way discredits God. you are the ignorant one.



sf- why would god care about drug addiction? i am hurting no one. your showing your ignorance once again by falling into the trap of thinking that the only possible god is the god touted by modern day catholics and christians.  God does not create arbitrary rules, what we should and shoudl not do, based on no moral logic. the things which god does not want us to do are the things that hurt others.

God was needed to explain the unexplained , now we know why things happen and they aren't supernatural , no in that context , NO we don't need ' God '

and again you're missing the point , God was the explanation for these things until we learned the natural explanation.

They will say something like, "God has always been here. He is Eternal. He does not need a creator" Epic way to avoid a debate. Once someone says that, it is impossible to debate them. Bur arguing from that standpoint is a logical fallacy. I do not like that argument.

Post by: andreisdaman on September 04, 2010, 12:43:45 PM
nope. apparently, you dont understand the essence of God.

 unless you understand his eternal presence and acknowledge the necessity for an ultimate creator, you dont have the ability to speak about him with any accuracy, because you lack the fundamental knowledge required to grasp his existence.


god is infinite, eternal, omnipotent. that is the definition.  if God was not any one of those things, then he would not be God. so, God must be eternal, and also must exist, because it is in his very essence to be so.

like i said previously.............. humans havent been able to get past our own moon............but arrogant assholes like stephen hawking are spouting off at the mouth trying to expedite global atheism.....its an agenda of the intellectual elite



but that being said, he is still a very smart man..........to claim otherwise is silly

you saved your post by stating at the end that anyone who debates the smartness of Stephen Hawkins is silly....He has much more evidence to prove there is no God than you have to prove there is....show us your proof?

Yes physics are certain laws that exist in our realm and are used in creation and evolution to a small extent. Yes these laws pre date mans existnce but were used to put the master creation (Humankind) here on earth. So you have no point as far as timeline.  When baking a cake some of the ingrediants are gathered before the cake appears.

2nd point.  Perhaps a physical entity cannot be in 2 places at once, but perhaps a spirit body (not one that is physical and must obey gravity for instance) can.   Possibly it couldnt be in 2 places even at once, but could be everywhere at once!! :o

Jesus was delusional or decided to play a role to satisfy his followers....I'm not sure if he meant it literally when he called himself "the son of God"....he may have meant it as a designation that he was a follower and worshiper of God....others may have embellished his role and made his title bigger than it really was...and he in turn was deitified in folklore....

not putting Jesus down at all...he is THE most important man who ever lived.....but he was not the son of God..come on!

if you had just taken the time to read 1 post above the one you posted...anyhow i'll cope and paste it again for you..this time in bold

i dont believe i have a soul ...unless otherwise proved....

i have an open mind...but right now i see no evidence proving the existence of god or a soul inside of me


Yep, I agree with you Toxic.

Having an open mind means evaluating the data presented and forming an hypothesis. It doesn't mean giving credence to ridiculous unsubstantiated assumptions. Only placebos require faith.

Evidence supports the theory that the Universe has always existed in some form. The Singularity being another state of the Universe. 'Something' appears to be the nature of reality, not 'nothing'.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_of_energy

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noether%27s_theorem

Spontaneous existence has been shown to occur in nature. No 'god' needed. As Hawking's statement implies; not that there is no 'god', but rather, that a god is unnecessary for the formation of the Universe. His reasoning is somewhat different though, to my understanding. *I haven't read his book and therefore can't comment directly on his statement*

According to quantum mechanics, the vacuum state is not truly empty but instead contains fleeting electromagnetic waves and particles that pop into and out of existence.

It also appears that life is probably unavoidable, if not inevitable.

my belief in god started out of logic. but since then it has evolved and now it lies in more than logic, but in personal experience. you can never know god untill you believe in him. i dont believe in eternal life, i know i will die someday. i hope god has made death something that is not uncomfortable, but i dont know. howver i do know that through prayer i have been able to communicate with god and my quality of life has improved twelve fold. you really can have a relationship with god, and he can help you understand things you would have never understood. trust me, i think you know i am not some stupid repuplican bible touting idiot with no intellect.. i wouldnt lie to you. and i wouldnt fall for placebo effect either.

I'm sure you have very good reasons for you faith tbombz, though the image of you as a bible toting fundamentalist repub, a la McQuay is pretty humourous.  ;D

Again, most evidence seems to suggest the absence of a creator with regards to existence. I can't accept the notion of a creator when causal relations are inferred, not perceived. Perhaps something will change in the future in this respect, however unlikely that may be, but Hawking still shouldn't be vilified for his, in all likelihood, misconstrued comment, nor do I believe it is even newsworthy. Sensationalism to garner viewers and readership imo.

However if something terrible happened to me, a berievement or something, who knows what higher power I might feel inclined to fabricate for myself in a search for an explanation. In this sense aetheism is a luxury of the middle to upper classes in more developed countries where less horrible shit happens. And communists of course.

Because no one come to the father except thru the son.  BUT Jesus stated many times that his father waas afar greater entity than himself and that he only had the priveledge of representing him on earth.   So Jesus is not to be worshiped......just respected.   Almighty GOD is to be worshipped.   But it is your choice.

Dont you believe in UFOs tox?

War Horse, you are so wrong. Jesus does deserve to be worshipped:

*Matthew 2:2 “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him.”
*Matthew 2:11 “And when they had come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him.”
*Matthew 28:9 “And as they went to tell His disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, Rejoice! And they came and held Him by the feet and worshiped Him.”
*Matthew 14:33 “Then those who were in the boat came and worshiped Him, saying, Truly you are the Son of God.”
*John 9:38 “Then he said, ‘Lord, I believe!’ And he worshiped Him.”

Jesus never rebuked peopel for worshipping him. He said, " I and the Father are one".

Jesus claimed to be the son of God but also God.

If you read the Bible, people tried to worship Peter but Peter rebuked them told them not to worship him (Peter) because he himself is just a man:
Acts 10:24-26  “On the day after that he entered into Caes·a·re'a. Cornelius, of course, was expecting them and had called together his relatives and intimate friends. As Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet and did obeisance to him. But Peter lifted him up, saying: “Rise; I myself am also a man.


In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Title: Re: Stephen Hawking: God didn't create universe

The Bible says that God created everything but it also says this about Jesus:

“Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made” (John 1:3). This includes all the stars, all the original animals and plants, and even the angels (Colossians 1:15-17).

If God created everything and the Bible says that without Jesus nothing was made....what does that tell you? That Jesus is God

For us to know the true nature of God makes it laughable.

The exciting truth is that Jesus is now also a man, and will remain so for all eternity. He humbled himself to become like one of his own creations. He chose to become a man to help us in an extremely important way. This amazing event happened about 2-thousand years ago. The results have changed the world forever.

As a man, God experienced the same temptations that we feel (Hebrews 2:18). He suffered the same kind of physical pains that we suffer with. He also experienced emotional pain. He even wept about the city of Jerusalem (John 11:35). He was ignored, unappreciated, unloved, misunderstood, and even despised—even though he did nothing wrong, and always loved everyone (1 Peter 2:23). Not only is Jesus Christ the greatest man that ever lived; he is our Creator. He deserves all glory and honor!



Agaian, Jesus said he and the Father are one...what does this tell you?

And also for Stephen Hawkings to claim that there is no God and that evolution and chance to create anything; this means that there are no such things as laws or boundaries.

This means that there is no such thing as love, no moral code, that we are nothing but animals.

If we are here by chance, why are their laws, why do people know what is right or wrong? Deep inside we have a moral code. We know that if we kill someone, we feel guilt and know it is wrong. We know that sleeping wiht an animla is not natural or committing adultery is wrong..

We are not here by chance.

I know it is wrong to hate black people. How do I know, the Bible told me so... to hate another man because of the color of his skin is wrong.

Stephen Hawkins even though he is intelligent is also blind of the truth.

Maybe if evolution is true, someone should kill this fag. It wold show evolution is true...survival of the fittest just like Hitler preached. But you know what? Evolution is not true because where there is faith, their is love and human kindness and compassion....thats why he lives today event hoguh according to evolution, he should be ddead

beachboy, you have a basic understanding but not complete.

1st. No where in the bible does Jesus equate equal power to his Father almighty GOD.  Yes they are one in purpose and harmony the same way you and i may root for the same football team at the sports bar.....camaraderie,same goals etc.

2nd. People wanted to worship Jesus as a child but what did he say as he beacame a man.....Luke 4:8  He resented even being called Good teacher as it took credit from his father....Matt 10:18

3rd. Yes he is the Word of God as he represents GODS purpose for mankind but you misquote that he was not God...but a god. different.

4th. Yes Jesus was created directly By ALMIGHTY GOD thus his firstborn creation. And then thru his fathers power Jesus created all things after. Col 1:15,  Isaiah 44:6

Those that believe in the complex idea of the trinity are making it hard for themselves.  If you use the bible as a whole you can see they are 2 persons that have love for humankind and want the suffering to end. (which it will soon at armageddon) The 3rd entity is simply the holy spirit but it doesnt exist on its own as it is GODS powerful force to make things happen.....its not a person.

you for sure are.




now on a serious note, there is nothing such as a mistake or even sucess. These are all concepts built by the human mind. Mistake, failures = death to animals, sucess = survival. It  sounds quite different for us humans but basically it means the same thing. Everytime you fail you feel very bad cause you know it means you re not able to survive somehow, when others do.

Instinct of survival underlies EVERYTHING. Our whole intelligence exists for the purpose to execute what our instinct of survival tells us to do. The frontal lobes of the human are only here to allow him to anticipate , project himself into the future, understand things that will allow him to have better chances of survival.

War-Horse, you have a basic understanding, but very off and not complete and you are taking many things out of context! You saying that Jesus was a god not God is blasphemy. According to the 10 commandments , it says that you are to have no other gods because the Lord thy God is a jealous God. But yet wait, you say he is a god.

Jesus did in fact claimed to be God. Thats why his people the jews tried to stone him on many different occassions.

Is Jesus God? He said he was equal to God.

"Your father Abraham rejoiced as he looked forward to my coming. He saw it and was glad." The people said, "You aren't even fifty years old. How can you say you have seen Abraham?" Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, before Abraham was even born, I Am!" At that point they picked up stones to throw at him. But Jesus was hidden from them and left the Temple.4

"The Father and I are one." Once again the people picked up stones to kill him. Jesus said, "At my Father's direction I have done many good works. For which one are you going to stone me?" They replied, "We're stoning you not for any good work, but for blasphemy! You, a mere man, claim to be God."5

Jesus told him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. If you had really known me, you would know who my Father is. From now on, you do know him and have seen him!" Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father, and we will be satisfied." Jesus replied, "Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and yet you still don't know who I am? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father! So why are you asking me to show him to you?"8


Others were convinced that Jesus was God:
Paul: "Christ is the visible image of the invisible God."1
John: "He existed in the beginning with God."2
Peter: "you must worship Christ as Lord of your life."3

If the disciples knew who Jesus really was, why dont you? Because you are not a true disciple and you do not knwo who the real Jesus is. Jesus is God in human form. God put himself in a man;s body and died for us to pay the ultimate price. God  came down in human form and lived among us without sin so he can be sin so he can give us everlasting life

More proof that jesus is God:

This Messiah would be born a human son, but have a higher nature
Isaiah 9:6: “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

This was a radical statement coming from a monotheistic Jewish prophet -- especially calling a human being “Mighty God”; but one that God fulfilled centuries later in Christ.


Thomas’ response to the resurrected Jesus
John 20:27-29: “Then He said to Thomas, ‘Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.’ Thomas said to him, ‘My Lord and my God!’ Then Jesus told him, ‘Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.’"

This disciple realized, because of Jesus’ resurrection, who Jesus really was -- and humbly worshiped Him and declared His true identity: “My Lord and my God!” Jesus not only accepts this declaration, but blesses all of the disciples -- and all of us today -- who come to the same realization and place of humble worship.

Jesus accepted worship from His disciples
Matthew 14:32-33: “And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, ‘Truly you are the Son of God.’”

In a Jewish culture, only the one true God can be worshiped; their actions show that they acknowledged Jesus as being divine. And Jesus didn’t correct them or say, “Don’t you realize that I’m just a mortal prophet? Stop worshiping me!” Rather, He accepted their worship, knowing He really was God in human flesh.

There is zero point in debating about God on Getbig.  It's about as pointless as insisting that I lift a mountain with my mind.

I have never seen a non-believer become a believer or a believer become a non-believer within a Getbig "debate God" thread.  We have some good minds on Getbig (both for and against God), but I've never seen anyone persuaded to change their belief systems.  At best these threads leave both parties with questions that they can seek out answers for on their own, but otherwise it's pointless.  Most believers present extremely weak, unsupported, faith-based arguments that do nothing to assist the non-believer and most non-believers are so entrenched in man-made ideology that they could speak with Christ himself and not be satisfied....these debates never, ever work within the thread.  I took the argument offline, read a numbers of books, educated myself and strengthened my faith in the process.  That was the only benefit of these types of threads.

I respect your posts and I'm a believer, but the problem is most Getbig nonbelievers care nothing for the bible and find no value in what it says....they'll dismiss your words the moment they read them.  Although, hopefully your posts will stimulate a desire for a nonbeliever to pursue questions of salvation and faith offline in meaningful way.

I have never seen a non-believer become a believer or a believer become a non-believer within a Getbig "debate God" thread.  We have some good minds on Getbig (both for and against God), but I've never seen anyone persuaded to change their belief systems.  At best these threads leave both parties with questions that they can seek out answers for on their own, but otherwise it's pointless.  Most believers present extremely weak, unsupported, faith-based arguments that do nothing to assist the non-believer and most non-believers are so entrenched in man-made ideology that they could speak with Christ himself and not be satisfied....these debates never, ever work within the thread.  I took the argument offline, read a numbers of books, educated myself and strengthened my faith in the process.  That was the only benefit of these types of threads.

Are you saying you come to Getbig purely to look at pic after pic of men in thongs, like most of us straight guys, MOS?

Bit of advice when presenting salvation and faith to a nonbeliever:  under no circumstances should you insult them.  Even if they poke and prod and do nothing but put you down and attempt to make you angry......never, ever retaliate.  Present what you understand as best as you can, offer to take matters into a private chat with them if they have interest, but never insult or tell them they are wrong.

most scientists are atheists thats already saying enough.

True, but you'd be amazed at the number of scientists who were once atheists and became believers.  So many became atheists because of Darwin's early work, but their own modern research has unexpectedly led them to the idea of an intelligent designer.

I respect your posts and I'm a believer, but the problem is most Getbig nonbelievers care nothing for the bible and find no value in what it says....they'll dismiss your words the moment they read them.  Although, hopefully your posts will stimulate a desire for a nonbeliever to pursue questions of salvation and faith offline in meaningful way.

Im glad you are a believer. I guess I tried to plant a seed the best I could.

Im not perfect. I hold racist views and Im trying to change it but it is so hard when I see so many hypocrites and so many crimes being perpetrated by the black community. IE black males fathering so many illegitimate kids as well as fathering so many mixed kids that they dont even take care of. People glorifying rap music with its approval of sleeping with your best friends girl and slapping hoes and such! Black men stealing peoples cars and stealing what isnt theres. I contribute a lot of the crimes to black people

Trust me, I am trying to change my racist point of views but it is so hard

Max, there are so called scientists who were men of faith...Copernicus , Galileo , Newton , Kelvin ..

Einstein never came to believe in a personal god but he recognized the impossibility of a non-created universe. Firmly denying atheism, Einstein expressed a belief in "Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the harmony of what exists." This actually motivated his interest in science, as he once remarked to a young physicist: "I want to know how God created this world, I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to know His thoughts, the rest are details." Einstein's famous epithet on the "uncertainty principle" was "God does not play dice" - and to him this was a real statement about a God in whom he believed. A famous saying of his was "Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."

Scientific Facts in the Bible

1. Only in recent years has science discovered that everything we see is composed of invisible atoms. Here, Scripture tells us that the "things which are seen were not made of things which do appear."

2. Medical science has only recently discovered that blood-clotting in a newborn reaches its peak on the eighth day, then drops. The Bible consistently says that a baby must be circumcised on the eighth day.

3. At a time when it was believed that the earth sat on a large animal or a giant (1500 B.C.), the Bible spoke of the earth’s free float in space: "He...hangs the earth upon nothing" (Job 26:7).

4. The prophet Isaiah also tells us that the earth is round: "It is he that sits upon the circle of the earth" (Isaiah 40:22). This is not a reference to a flat disk, as some skeptic maintain, but to a sphere. Secular man discovered this 2,400 years later. At a time when science believed that the earth was flat, is was the Scriptures that inspired Christopher Columbus to sail around the world (see Proverbs 3:6 footnote).

5. God told Job in 1500 B.C.: "Can you send lightnings, that they may go, and say to you, Here we are?" (Job 38:35). The Bible here is making what appears to be a scientifically ludicrous statement—that light can be sent, and then manifest itself in speech. But did you know that radio waves travel at the speed of light? This is why you can have instantaneous wireless communication with someone on the other side of the earth. Science didn’t discover this until 1864 when "British scientist James Clerk Maxwell suggested that electricity and light waves were two forms of the same thing" (Modern Century Illustrated Encyclopedia).

6. Job 38:19 asks, "Where is the way where light dwells?" Modern man has only recently discovered that light (electromagnetic radiation) has a "way," traveling at 186,000 miles per second.

7. Science has discovered that stars emit radio waves, which are received on earth as a high pitch. God mentioned this in Job 38:7: "When the morning stars sang together..."

8. "Most cosmologists (scientists who study the structures and evolution of the universe) agree that the Genesis account of creation, in imagining an initial void, may be uncannily close to the truth" (Time, Dec. 1976).

9. Solomon described a "cycle" of air currents two thousand years before scientists "discovered" them. "The wind goes toward the south, and turns about unto the north; it whirls about continually, and the wind returns again according to his circuits" (Ecclesiastes 1:6).

10. Science expresses the universe in five terms: time, space, matter, power, and motion. Genesis 1:1,2 revealed such truths to the Hebrews in 1450 B.C.: "In the beginning [time] God created [power] the heaven [space] and the earth [matter] . . . And the Spirit of God moved [motion] upon the face of the waters." The first thing God tells man is that He controls of all aspects of the universe.

11. The great biological truth concerning the importance of blood in our body’s mechanism has been fully comprehended only in recent years. Up until 120 years ago, sick people were "bled," and many died because of the practice. If you lose your blood, you lose your life. Yet Leviticus 17:11, written 3,000 years ago, declared that blood is the source of life: "For the life of the flesh is in the blood."

12. All things were made by Him (see John 1:3), including dinosaurs. Why then did the dinosaur disappear? The answer may be in Job 40:15–24. In this passage, God speaks about a great creature called "behemoth." Some commentators think this was a hippopotamus. However, the hippo’s tail isn’t like a large tree, but a small twig. Following are the characteristics of this huge animal: It was the largest of all the creatures God made; was plant-eating (herbivorous); had its strength in its hips and a tail like a large tree. It had very strong bones, lived among the trees, drank massive amounts of water, and was not disturbed by a raging river. He appears impervious to attack because his nose could pierce through snares, but Scripture says, "He that made him can make his sword to approach unto him." In other words, God caused this, the largest of all the creatures He had made, to become extinct.

13. Encyclopedia Britannica documents that in 1845, a young doctor in Vienna named Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis was horrified at the terrible death rate of women who gave birth in hospitals. As many as 30 percent died after giving birth. Semmelweis noted that doctors would examine the bodies of patients who died, then, without washing their hands, go straight to the next ward and examine expectant mothers. This was their normal practice, because the presence of microscopic diseases was unknown. Semmelweis insisted that doctors wash their hands before examinations, and the death rate immediately dropped to 2 percent. Look at the specific instructions God gave His people for when they encounter disease: "And when he that has an issue is cleansed of his issue; then he shall number to himself even days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean" (Leviticus 15:13). Until recent years, doctors washed their hands in a bowl of water, leaving invisible germs on their hands. However, the Bible says specifically to wash hands under "running water."

14. Luke 17:34–36 says the Second Coming of Jesus Christ will occur while some are asleep at night and others are working at daytime activities in the field. This is a clear indication of a revolving earth, with day and night at the same time.

15. "During the devastating Black Death of the fourteenth century, patients who were sick or dead were kept in the same rooms as the rest of the family. People often wondered why the disease was affecting so many people at one time. They attributed these epidemics to ‘bad air’ or ‘evil spirits.’ However, careful attention to the medical commands of God as revealed in Leviticus would have saved untold millions of lives. Arturo Castiglione wrote about the overwhelming importance of this biblical medical law: ‘The laws against leprosyin Leviticus 13 may be regarded as the first model of sanitary legislation’ (A History of Medicine)." Grant R. Jeffery, The Signature of God With all these truths revealed in Scripture,how could a thinking person deny that the Bible is supernatural in origin? There is no other book in any of the world’s religions (Vedas, Bhagavad-Gita, Koran, Book of Mormon, etc.) that contains scientific truth. In fact, they contain statements that are clearly unscientific. Hank Hanegraaff said, "Faith in Christ is not some blind leap into a dark chasm, but a faith based on established evidence." (11:3 continued

Answer: To understand Jesus as God on earth praying to His Father in heaven, we need to realize that the eternal Father and the eternal Son had an eternal relationship before Jesus took upon Himself the form of a man. Please read John 5:19-27, particularly verse 23 where Jesus teaches that the Father sent the Son (also see John 15:10). Jesus did not become the Son of God when He was born in Bethlehem. He has always been the Son of God from eternity past, still is the Son of God, and always will be.

Isaiah 9:6 tells us that the Son was given and the Child was born. Jesus was
 always part of the tri-unity, along with the Holy Spirit. The tri-unity always existed, the Father God, the Son God, and the Spirit God, not three gods, but one God existing as three persons. Jesus taught that He and His Father are one (John 10:30), meaning that He and His Father are of the same substance and the same essence. The Father, Son and Spirit are three co-equal persons existing as God. These three had, and continue to have, an eternal relationship

Jesus Christ was no less God on earth when praying to His Father in heaven. He was depicting how even in sinless humanity it is necessary to have a vital prayer life in order to do His Father’s will. Jesus' praying to the Father was a demonstration of His relationship within the Trinity and an example for us that we must rely on God through prayer for the strength and wisdom we need. Since Christ, as the God-man, needed to have a vibrant prayer life, so should the follower of Christ today.

Following are the characteristics of this huge animal: It was the largest of all the creatures God made; was plant-eating (herbivorous); had its strength in its hips and a tail like a large tree. It had very strong bones, lived among the trees, drank massive amounts of water, and was not disturbed by a raging river. He appears impervious to attack because his nose could pierce through snares, but Scripture says, "He that made him can make his sword to approach unto him." In other words, God caused this, the largest of all the creatures He had made, to become extinct.

13. Encyclopedia Britannica documents that in 1845, a young doctor in Vienna named Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis was horrified at the terrible death rate of women who gave birth in hospitals. As many as 30 percent died after giving birth. Semmelweis noted that doctors would examine the bodies of patients who died, then, without washing their hands, go straight to the next ward and examine expectant mothers. This was their normal practice, because the presence of microscopic diseases was unknown. Semmelweis insisted that doctors wash their hands before examinations, and the death rate immediately dropped to 2 percent. Look at the specific instructions God gave His people for when they encounter disease: "And when he that has an issue is cleansed of his issue; then he shall number to himself even days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean" (Leviticus 15:13). Until recent years, doctors washed their hands in a bowl of water, leaving invisible germs on their hands. However, the Bible says specifically to wash hands under "running water."

14. Luke 17:34–36 says the Second Coming of Jesus Christ will occur while some are asleep at night and others are working at daytime activities in the field. This is a clear indication of a revolving earth, with day and night at the same time.

15. "During the devastating Black Death of the fourteenth century, patients who were sick or dead were kept in the same rooms as the rest of the family. People often wondered why the disease was affecting so many people at one time. They attributed these epidemics to ‘bad air’ or ‘evil spirits.’ However, careful attention to the medical commands of God as revealed in Leviticus would have saved untold millions of lives. Arturo Castiglione wrote about the overwhelming importance of this biblical medical law: ‘The laws against leprosyin Leviticus 13 may be regarded as the first model of sanitary legislation’ (A History of Medicine)." Grant R. Jeffery, The Signature of God With all these truths revealed in Scripture,how could a thinking person deny that the Bible is supernatural in origin? There is no other book in any of the world’s religions (Vedas, Bhagavad-Gita, Koran, Book of Mormon, etc.) that contains scientific truth. In fact, they contain statements that are clearly unscientific. Hank Hanegraaff said, "Faith in Christ is not some blind leap into a dark chasm, but a faith based on established evidence." (11:3 continued



Your omniscient god is reduced to ambiguous scripture that can be interpreted a hundred different ways. Very convincing, make no doubt about it. And, yes, how dare I question this, such blasphemy on my part.

Yes i already said that the Son was the first creation by God the father...this was in heaven. the physical birth was because earth has gravity and we eat, sleep...etc    The scripture state that there is a physical body and a spiritual body......serve different purposes.

I have already showed you that there is no such mention of a trinity of equality of these 2 persons and holy spirit.  dozens of scriptures state that they have a common purpose (like athletes on a football team) but are seperate beings.

So you believe Jesus was praying to himself.....hahahaha    You make it harder thn it is.

These somewhat belligerent replies are why believers need to keep themselves collected and patient at all times.  Unfortunately we find a lot of nonbelievers that are on the attack and verbally abusive for no reason.  Yes, sometimes believes provoke nonbelievers and that's no way to present yourself or keep a healthy discussion going.  Now, not all nonbelievers react in this manner, but unfortunately many do.  Further, many nonbelievers are sweet, sincere, highly educated individuals who truly listen and engage in a healthy exchange with believers.  Those conversations are beneficial for both sides as we both leave with topics to consider without any anger or resentment.  I think whether we are believers or nonbelievers we're all intimated by things we don't understand and in those cases we often fight back when there isn't really any fight occurring.  Being a witness for Christ is not easy business and believers need to educate themselves in all facets of their faith so that they can better present themselves to nonbelievers.  The faith-based explanation is simply not enough for the adamant nonbeliever (in most cases).  Certainly present this aspect, but be prepared for the more finite discussion if you are able.  In this world of instant information and instant communication it's more important than ever to increase your knowledge base as angry debates are easily fueled by a google or two.

I've actually read that Einstein became a believer and I've also read that Einstein didn't become a full on believer but that he did belief in an intelligent designer of the universe.  Either way he denied atheism at the end of his life.

Proof please. 

Because he joked that "the old man doesn't play dice with the Universe" and didn't like the non-commutation between position and momentum in quantum mechanics, God squatters have used their well honed powers of logical reasoning to decide that Einstein has been proven to be a "believer."

Because after taking the physical form of a human being that was sent to earth to die and be tortured for our sins, Jesus was afraid (as any normal human being would be) and he prayed to God (his father) to give him strength. = The obvious answer for anyone that is Christian

WTF would God, an omnipotent being, take human form and allow himself to be tortured and killed?= The logical question for any atheist or smart ass to ask.

WTF would you ask what amounts to a rhetorical question about why God would do anything, and WTF do you think you or Stephen Hawking or 240 or Bust or anyone else would have the "correct answer"? = The correct question.

I won't be bringing anything on.  We all saw Religulous and have Google.  I've read about the Sun god, Hindu gods, etc...and their similarities to Christ.  I read the pro and con positions.  Like I mentioned earlier, debating about God on Getbig is practically pointless unless it somehow plants a seed for nonbelievers to later pursue questions about salvation and faith in Christ.   I'm sorry, but been there and done that on the Getbig God debate....lesson learned.

I'm sure you'll find other takers for 12-20 page thread debates.

Two months ago I came home from work at lunch to take care of my 5 month old daughter that was sick.  My wife had taken the morning shift so she left for work.  I went upstairs, gave my daughter a bottle and put her in crib for a nap.  As I walked downstairs i fell down the last part of the stairs and dislocated my knee and hurt my quad.  I visited a local medclinic and my pirmary doctor over the course of the next two weeks.  I got an MRI of my leg and knee the day of my visit with my primary doctor.  During the MRI procedure my knee dislocated twice.  I sat with the injury for two weeks before seeing an othropedist that told me I needed immediate surgery.  It was revealed that I had torn the tendons that attach my quad to my knee cap and tore my vastus medialis...the MRI didn't fully show this.  I had surgery the day before my birthday and was sent home the day of my birthday.  Two weeks later I was taken by ambulance to our local hospital emergency room for extreme shortness of breathe, sweating and fatigue.  It was revealed that I had developed a blood clot in my leg and the one of the largest blood clots some of the doctors and nurses had ever seen in my lung.  The cardiologist and pulmonoligist on site in the hospital told me and my family that IF I live I'd be in the ICU for 4-6 weeks minimum, and that my chances of surival were extremely touch and go for a long while.  They prepared my family for the worst in private.  My family and friends prayed over me and for me privately for the next couple of days.  I was released from ICU 2.5 days later with the fastest, unexpected, unexplained recovery the doctors had seen.  At this point I'd spent almost 6 weeks in hell.  So, why did God choose to put me through this?  I can't tell you exactly why, but I will tell you that my marriage (which was already solid) was strengthened 10 fold.  My personal faith was strengthened. My wife has recognized a potential in herself she never realeased she had as a woman, wife and mother.  The relationships in my family were strengthened.  I know God led me by the hand and out of the grave I had one foot in.  He's given me a new lease on life and I thank him.  He's taught me to trust in him and I love him for it.  The road hasn't been easy and I'm still on it  He's allowed me and my family to suffer like never before and we've only arrived renewed with our faith strengthened.

Two months ago I came home from work at lunch to take care of my 5 month old daughter that was sick.  My wife had taken the morning shift so she left for work.  I went upstairs, gave my daughter a bottle and put her in crib for a nap.  As I walked downstairs i fell down the last part of the stairs and dislocated my knee and hurt my quad.  I visited a local medclinic and my pirmary doctor over the course of the next two weeks.  I got an MRI of my leg and knee the day of my visit with my primary doctor.  During the MRI procedure my knee dislocated twice.  I sat with the injury for two weeks before seeing an othropedist that told me I needed immediate surgery.  It was revealed that I had torn the tendons that attach my quad to my knee cap and tore my vastus medialis...the MRI didn't fully show this.  I had surgery the day before my birthday and was sent home the day of my birthday.  Two weeks later I was taken by ambulance to our local hospital emergency room for extreme shortness of breathe, sweating and fatigue.  It was revealed that I had developed a blood clot in my leg and the one of the largest blood clots some of the doctors and nurses had ever seen in my lung.  The cardiologist and pulmonoligist on site in the hospital told me and my family that IF I live I'd be in the ICU for 4-6 weeks minimum, and that my chances of surival were extremely touch and go for a long while.  They prepared my family for the worst in private.  My family and friends prayed over me and for me privately for the next couple of days.  I was released from ICU 2.5 days later with the fastest, unexpected, unexplained recovery the doctors had seen.  At this point I'd spent almost 6 weeks in hell.  So, why did God choose to put me through this?  I can't tell you exactly why, but I will tell you that my marriage (which was already solid) was strengthened 10 fold.  My personal faith was strengthened. My wife has recognized a potential in herself she never realeased she had as a woman, wife and mother.  The relationships in my family were strengthened.  I know God led me by the hand and out of the grave I had one foot in.  He's given me a new lease on life and I thank him.  He's taught me to trust in him and I love him for it.  The road hasn't been easy and I'm still on it  He's allowed me and my family to suffer like never before and we've only arrived renewed with our faith strengthened.

Sorry to hear about your near death experience. These types of occurrences happen with people of all religions.
They say there are no atheists in foxholes, but I tend to disagree with this reasoning. Near death experiences and times of unprecedented stress just makes us act even more irrationally. Of course you want a god to save you, who wouldn't?

Well, if you follow the christian faith than you would know that the "church" made up "hell" to give a yin to the yang....Grow up and learn that the christians just copied stories already written....and before that there was nothing, but man existed....Why did homosapiens exist with thicker sculls...I guess intelligent man was around but never died and left no proof of their existence...idiots
what point are you trying to make exactly ? there can be no good without evil, no happyness without suffering. if god created a world with no tradgedy, no suffering, no pain or sorrow, then no one would have any idea what happyness, love, joy, and pleasure are all about, nor would they be able to enjoy them if they ever got a chance to experience them.  that is what i posted. what you have responded with above doesnt even appear to be directed at me.  how you got into the evolutionary purpouse of a thick skulled homosapien is beyond me.  ;D

I guess he is teaching when the pedifiles rape shildren time and time again...I gueess God "wasn't" around before man knew about written word...Grow  the fuck up..I am happy your found strength in what you believe, but don't cut me down for reality

God allows bad things to happen but He isnt the one that causes them to happen.

Bad things happen such as rape or murder because of the bad in this world and the free will He gives everyone one of us.

I could choose to kill and hurt everybody but it wasnt God that made it happen...I made it happen.

In the end..because of my choice of doing wrong, God grieves and so does the victims of the family member that I have hurt or destroyed.

Like so many people, I have struggled with this question as it pertains to my own life and the lives of others. Only by coming to terms over time with something terribly sad in my life have I come to understand the role God plays when human tragedies occur.

I now feel that my God does not send bad things to punish us or test us. In fact, God does not send them at all. Rather I sense that there are powerful forces loose in the world, forces like evil, disease and death.

Haha, you guys are ridiculous on your excuses for the all mighty...If at one point jesus could walk on water and turn water into wine than surely, keeping pedophiles from raping children would be no feat at all...I guess your god lets this happen to just grieve and make man understand his true self. How about making up revelations after going to heaven wasn't enough for christians to practice the religion....

There has been so many examples from history.

Christians being fed to the lions, Jesus being beaten and whipped by the romans because his own people the jews abandoned him, Mother Teresa  feeding the poor and destitute, innocent babies being murdered, so many examples.

Do you actually think a loving God wants to see suffering especially for people that love him? The answer is no.

He gave mankind free will to either choose the right or wrong thing. We have the choice to either stop the wrongs or right the wrongs.

If God took away our free will, He wouldnt be a God of love but a god of enslavement.

Agreed, God could have prevented me from falling, but I fell and my situation went from bad to worse.  Now at my worst hour he did divinely intervene and save me and in the process drew my entire family and friends closer to him.  No telling who else may have been positively influenced by my situation.  I still have a lot physical therapy to go through for my leg and I'll be on blood thinner therapy for 6 mos to a year, but I have renewed confidence that with faith in him I can be saved from even death.

He is an example Realist:

Jesus didnt have to die on the cross. At any given moment, the jews could have fought for him. Pilate could have let Jesus go because he knew that Jesus was an innocent man. Jesus could have called down fire from heaven. God could have prevented Jesus from dying as well

But God left it up for us to do the right thing...The Jews had a choice to save Jesus. They were given scripture to recognize that Jesus was the Messiah but they turned a blind eye even though mahy of them knew that Jesus was the messiah.

According to the Bible, the Bible says that Jesus suffered the most out of any human being.

We all on this earth deserved to die  because we all are inherently evil and sinful. But Jesus was the only innocent person who never did wrong to anyone whose life was taken from him.

I ask you, why did God allow Jesus to suffer?

Because we allowed it to happen just like we allow all the wrongs in this world to happen wether its by our perverted nature or our sicks minds or because we have no courage to fight the wrongs...

If God isnt real, should we all just kill each other? Show no compassion or love for those who have nothing?

According to  Darwinism, evolution means survival of the fittest and there is no such thing as laws or compassion, it means that there was no wrong when Hitler killed many jews, it means that I could go on the street and kill anyone...that means that retarded people dont deserve to be alive, or people missing limbs dont deserve food and shelter, ect

Some Jews did believe in hell. Some Jews believed that when you died, there is no afterlife and youre just gone forever.

In Old Testament times, the Hebrew term "Sheol" (the abode of the dead) contained two compartments separated by an impassable gulf. The righteous awaited resurrection in the "Bosom of Abraham" (Paradise), while the unrighteous awaited resurrection in "Gehenna" (Hebrew) or "Hades" (Greek) a place of torment.

Many Jews today deny the existence of hell and Satan, yet there are many passages of Scripture in the Old Testament to support the literal existence of both hell and Satan.


Job 2:7
So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD and afflicted Job with painful sores from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.


Psalm 109:6
Appoint an evil man or [the Evil One]] to oppose him; let an accuser or [let Satan]] stand at his right hand.


Zechariah 3:1
Then he showed me Joshua ; the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD , and Satan [ accuser ] standing at his right side to accuse him.


Zechariah 3:2
The LORD said to Satan, "The LORD rebuke you, Satan! The LORD, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this man a burning stick snatched from the fire?"


     The Old Testament does speak of hell and the Devil although many Jewish people and even rabbis would deny the literal existence of either Satan or eternal torment. There are also a number of Christian cults which falsely teach that hell is a place of annihilation. In the New Testament we find 81 references to hell, devils or Satan. It is clear from the following passage from the Book of Daniel that both the righteous and the unrighteous will be raised to experience eternity.

False historians want to disprove that other religions had a messianic figure way before Judaism and Christianity. But Jesus fulfilled so many prophesies of the Bible. If the Bible is made up, how can he have fulfilled so many prophesies? What are the chances?

GOD WOULD COME TO EARTH

BE BORN AS A HUMAN MALE

Isaiah 9:6-7 [6] For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. [7] Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. ...  700 B.C.

Mark 1:1 The beginning of the gospel about Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

John 1:1-3, 14 [1] In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. [2] He was with God in the beginning. [3] Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.  [14] The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

BORN OF A VIRGIN

Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.  700 B.C.

Mattthew 1:20-23 [20] But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.   [21] She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."  [22] All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: [23] "The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel" --which means, "God with us."

FROM THE HOUSE OF JUDAH

Isaiah 37:31 Once more a remnant of the house of Judah will take root below and bear fruit above.  700 B.C.

Matthew 1:1-2, 16 [1] A record of the genealogy of Jesus Christ the son [descendant] of David, the son of Abraham: [2] Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers, [16] and [a later] Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

FROM THE ROOT AND STUMP OF JESSE

Isaiah 11:10 In that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples; the nations will rally to him, and his place of rest will be glorious.  700 B.C.

Isaiah 11:1-5 [1] A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch will bear fruit. [2] The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him-- the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD-- [3] and he will delight in the fear of the LORD. He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes, or decide by what he hears with his ears; [4] but with righteousness he will judge the needy, with justice he will give decisions for the poor of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked. [5] Righteousness will be his belt and faithfulness the sash around his waist.  700 B.C.

Romans 15:12 And again, Isaiah says, "The Root of Jesse will spring up, one who will arise to rule over the nations; the Gentiles will hope in him."

Matthew 1:1-2a, 5-6, 16 [1] A record of the genealogy of Jesus Christ the son of David, the son of Abraham: [2] Abraham was the father of Isaac, ... [5] ... Obed the father of Jesse, [6] and Jesse the father of King David. [16] and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

FROM THE HOUSE OF DAVID

Isaiah 16:5 In love a throne will be established; in faithfulness a man will sit on it--one from the house of David--one who in judging seeks justice and speeds the cause of righteousness.  700 B.C.

Matthew 1:1-2A, 6, 16 [1] A record of the genealogy of Jesus Christ the son of David, the son of Abraham: [2] Abraham was the father of Isaac, ... [6] and Jesse the father of King David. [16] and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

BORN IN BETHLEHEM EPHRATHAH

Micah 5:2 But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times.  700 B.C.

Matthew 2:1 After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem

Over the years there have been a number of "Bethlehems" in Israel.  At the time of Jesus' birth, Bethlehem Ephrathah, referred to in Matthew as "Bethlehem in Judea", was a village about five miles south of Jerusalem, and there also was a town named Bethlehem about seven miles northwest of Nazareth.  (Per footnote Matthew 2:1 of the Zondervan NIV Study Bible, 10th Anniversary Edition, (c) 1995)

BE FROM NAZARETH OF GALILEE

Isaiah 9:1-2 [1] Nevertheless, there will be no more gloom for those who were in distress. In the past he humbled the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the future he will honor Galilee of the Gentiles, by the way of the sea, along the Jordan -- [2] The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.  700 B.C.

Matthew 2:22-23 [22] But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning in Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. Having been warned in a dream, he withdrew to the district of Galilee, [23] and he went and lived in a town called Nazareth. So was fulfilled what was said through the prophets: "He will be called a Nazarene."

im not a believer in jesus, never saw him, but why would similar stories from other cultures refute jesus? that would only strengthen his story in my eyes. totally different cultures coming to a very similar story ?? how does that happen, if they are related in some way?  


just wondering.. you dont believe the actual person jesus christ ever lived, or you just dont believe that he was "magical" and the son of god?

Dude, you understand that these stories happened hundreds of years before the scripture in two different cultures and vary from the virgin mary bullshit being knocked up....Mankind was around hundreds of years before it and all the sudden they copycat a story about a savior....Just all falls down on people wanting to believe something in their weakness
False historians want to disprove that other religions had a messianic figure way before Judaism and Christianity. But Jesus fulfilled so many prophesies of the BibleIf the Bible is made up, how can he have fulfilled so many prophesies? What are the chances?

GOD WOULD COME TO EARTH

BE BORN AS A HUMAN MALE

Isaiah 9:6-7 [6] For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. [7] Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. ...  700 B.C.

Mark 1:1 The beginning of the gospel about Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

John 1:1-3, 14 [1] In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. [2] He was with God in the beginning. [3] Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.  [14] The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

BORN OF A VIRGIN

Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.  700 B.C.

If evolution is true:

1.You are nothing but stardust that came from a cosmic burp 18 billion years ago.
2.There is no purpose to life except to have fun and pass on your genes.
3.When you die you get recycled into a worm or a plant.
4.There is no such thing as right or wrong, there are no absolutes.
5.You are an accident and have little or no value.
6.The universe will not miss you when you are gone.
7.Your presence here is a burden on the planet since you are one of the polluters. It would be better for the world if you died.

The other option is that you were designed by an all-powerful Creator who has a purpose for each of us. When you die, you face the Creator to give an account for your life. Your duty here is to find out what the Creator wants, and do it since He is the owner of the universe and makes the rules! These two views of life are as opposite as any two views could be. At least one of them is wrong!

An important fact to keep in mind  is the approximate 300 detailed Messianic prophecies regarding the life, death, and ministry of Jesus in the Old Testament. The prophecies span approximately 450 to 1,500 years before His birth. The accusation of Christians plagiarizing the accounts of  other figures in the first century ignores the fact that concepts such as the virgin birth, the resurrection, and a Father-Son, relationship precede most Jesus like figures which only means that they were taken form the Bible or the Torah...

Forgive me, but I didn't watch the clip.  Still, I've often wondered why atheists are so concerned about religion.  Believers are commanded to spread the word of God, but atheists aren't commanded to do anything.  The majority of the world already supports them so why are they worried about religion?  They never have to participate in it and can avoid it rather easily.  This is a crude comparison, but I don't like hip hop.  Hip hop music is everywhere, but I choose not to participate in it and can avoid it completely with virtually no effort.   I know we have references to God on our money and other such symbols of our country, but do those types of things truly impact an atheists life?

I'm ignorant, educate me.

When you actually stop and think about the concept of God and how he is meant to have created the world. Esp with the clear cut science and facts we have. Then its possibly the funniest idea ever. People who believe in aliens and life from another planet or ghosts are considered whack jobs. But half the world are ok to think an old dude, with a beard, knocked up the world in 7 days. Oh and if your not sure, its all in a really fucking old fairy tale book for reference. Madness. Without religion, we would have less war, struggle and issues.....

eggh god................answe r me honestly, are you fucking retarded




see, humans have these things that are called BRAINS...............you might have heard of them ...........they weight like 8 lbs and are responsible for memory, thought, and higher motor function and reasoning



ants...............do not have the hardware...........they have brains that are like 1/1,000,000 the size of ourse.............and support the most basic of functions like motor-control and smell............and they exhibit a hive mind, where the groups shows a collective intellect



ants are incapable of going "im in a bad mood today, i feel sad"..............just like they are incapable of going "i miss my dead mother"............or "they sky is blue"...........and a matter of fact, they cannot communicate to themselves at all because they have no higher reasoning, language, or emotion centers

they are pre-programmed, and function like very simple robots would function





stop embarrassing yourself adn saying "how do you know what ants think".................you just look like a fucking idiot, like really, you sound like a child




bye the way, you double your previous ignorance saying "ants live peacefully".............ant society is more violent and then you can possibly imagine
If only you could use your so called massive brain for some clear thinking. Its unfortunate that your brain is only used for satisfying your massive ego into somehow think you are higher than other life forms, I think you would find that ants probably play a greater and more important role in the scheme of things in balancing the earths Eco structure than do humans.  Reading your post I envision an overgrown manchild jumping up and down in frustration because someone else doesn't agree with his juvenile opinions.  I think you need to learn a little more about the world around you, including ants, here are a couple of facts for you - If a man could run as fast for his size as an ant can, he could run as fast as a racehorse. Ants can lift 20 times their own body weight - pretty impressive I think.  And just because you are obviously a barely functioning illiterate, I suggest a good documentary for you to begin the education process, it is called "Ants.Natures.Secret.Powe r". Good Luck

Animals develop a balance with their natural surroundings and thrive on ingrained instincts and behavioural patterns. The more successful and resilient a species is, the more of it is found in more places. But they live for the sake of surviving long enough to reproduce, to make sure the species as a whole perpetuates. When they can't cope with the environmental conditions, they die out.

Your saying ants live "peacefully" seems to imply that they choose a higher path morally / conceptually, out of the many choices they have, which is not true. They devote all their energy to doing whatever is needed to perpetuate their population. They are just as territorial as other insects or animals, and can be just as destructive in their own ways. They are not noble nor are they capable of conceptual ways of thinking.

Humans are animals biologically, but also much more than that. Our way of surviving is by manipulating the natural resources around us to further our cause and way / standard of living. Yes, we make tons of mistakes and will keep doing so, but that doesn't negate any of our achievements, from our understanding of all that we know so far to everything we've created, be it good or bad.

Technologically, we are in the adolescent stage of development, which is why things are so unstable. That doesn't mean that we aren't capable of improving. You can't look at a snapshot of a process (that evolves over millions of years) in a very early stage and conclude that the conditions at the time of observation will remain unchanged.
I agree

My neighbour found out that her dog ( a Schnauzer) could hardly hear, so she took it to the veterinarian. The vet found that the problem was hair in the dog's ears. He cleaned both ears, and the dog could then hear fine.

The vet then proceeded to tell the lady that, if she wanted to keep this  from recurring, she should go to the chemist and get some "Nair" hair remover and rub it in the dog's ears once a month.

The lady went to the chemist and bought some "Nair" hair remover.  At the register, the pharmacist told her,

 "If you're going to use this under your arms, don't use deodorant for a few days."

The lady said, "I'm not using it under my arms."

The pharmacist said, "If you're using it on your legs, don't shave for a
couple of days."

The lady replied, "I'm not using it on my legs either.  If you must know, I'm using it on my Schnauzer."

The pharmacist says, "Well stay off your bicycle for about a week."

 Man of Steel's god talks to him through blood clots, you need to acquire a medical condition to understand, Tito.  Isn't it comforting to know that god can arbitrarily prioritize your longevity over millions of others?

Maybe I shouldn't say arbitrary, the believer is truly the one who's self importance is inflated - god really favors me over you, I am chosen and blessed. I have a purpose to live and do his work, you don't. Those are the ropes.

Another poster suggested that at some point me and family would suffer and that he'd like to see God deliver me from that suffering.  I immediately provided him a real live suffering example in which me and my family had been delivered from just weeks ago via the power of prayer and faith in God's love and grace.  Prior to that I had been repeatedly insulted without retaliation on my part and after my story the insults increased dramatically with no negative response from me.  I've challenged no one individually based on their beliefs just expressed my own beliefs a bit and spoke with a few other believers confirming a few things they said based on my own knowledge.  If someone, believer or nonbeliever, asked me a question I tried best I could to respond honestly.  Earlier in the thread I spoke about Hawking and imaginary numbers more directly and some posters didn't like that so I stopped.  I then suggested that believers need to not insult or lash out at others nonbelievers and that believers need to strengthen their knowledge base at a bit.  I've made comments about positions believers and nonbelievers take and repeated that debating God on Getbig is a pointless pursuit.  That is the gist of everything I've said, but never once have I insulted or lashed out negatively at anyone (that I can recall); yet I'm continually insulted and put down I haven't told anyone what they belief is wrong either; in fact, I haven't debated at all.  Just answered some questions I was able to answer....that's it.   Yet every post is partially or fully attacked.  Why is that?

Exactly, a believer especially should be versed in the more finite details and history of their own set of beliers in addition to the current scientific theory....that way you can understand the intersection of the two.  I've been working on that for sometime now.  Certainly the average person like myself won't master all these topics through and through, but you can't truly be informed about what you stand for unless you the understand the other side more completely.  Essentially, putting it crudely, you need to understand not only the pro position (the one your support), but the con position (the one you don't support).   Excellent suggestions.

Thanks. It's hard to make informed decisions with regards to this topic when one doesn't have, at the very least, a layman's understanding of the sciences.

You have to understand current scientific topics in order to better understand or clarify when religion and science conflict.  Certainly an average person like myself won't grasp every topic....I leave that to the experts to explain to me.

Much appreciated.  My viewpoint is pretty straight forward.  I'm a believer in Christ.....a born again Christian.  I'm not a fanatical, fire and brimstone type and I have made mistakes in my walk with Christ (just see my post history).  I've spent the last year and half working to change my ways and become more educated in my faith and in the opposing viewpoint so that I can understand how the two intersect.  I've had many questions about conflicts between science and religion and I'm trying to learn how the experts in their respective fields have or have not reconciled issues of the origin of life, intelligent design in the universe, the historocity of the bible, why God allows suffering, Darwinism, carbon dating, string theory, Hindu and Chinese gods predating Christ, etc.....

Hey now.  You made some classic posts and everyone was in on the jokes.  I don't remember you ever being mean spirited and lols were had all around.

Hope you don't feel as if you shouldn't crack jokes anymore.  Naturally there's a time & place (so maybe not this thread), but you had us rollin' at times.  I hope you feel as though you can celebrate the talents you've been given, and use them as your conscience dictates, rather than feel bad about them.

No need to respond.  Just wanted to say I don't remember you ever going over the line, MOS.
