Title: philosophical quanderings: big bang, the singularity, and gods "suicide"
Post by: tbombz on January 31, 2013, 06:47:33 PM
tracing back the history of the universe we find ourselves faced with a single point of basically "infinite" density, a point which contains all the energy, all the matter, and all the "intelligence" that is contained in all the universe.

theres no telling where this very hot, very dense, infinitely capable "being" came from, or how long it existed before it expanded out into the universe as we know it today.


what if, bare with me, that singularity was indeed "god". and im not talking in the biblical sense, although that is a possibility, but just in the general sense of an intelligent creative force which spawned the universe and all life.

if this is the case, "god" basically committed suicide in a sense, by dividing himself up into an "infinite" number of pieces, in an absolutely massive universe, where life could flourish and evolve and , maybe eventually, when it desires, come back together into one whole.. back into "god".

If he is still around in the capacity to "desire" putting himself back together, then how has he comitted suicide?

''Maybe God didnt always exist. I actually think that he created himself. which implies that there was a period of non-existence, and then god created himself... got lonely, and created existence.''

"basically" committed suicide.  key word = basically

suicide = you're either dead, or you're not.

You're saying something to the equivalent of "basically being pregnant". What does that mean?

 first off, if were going to discuss something supernatural, we can not let our worldy ideas, ideas bound by the laws of physics, get in the way of our thoughts.  obviously "god" would not be subject to the same rules as the rest of the universe. I think that's pretty clear.

however, I guess , in this idea of mine, god would still be alive in the sense that we are god, just god divided.

Yes.. we cannot allow logical or scientific thoughts to to get in the way of this. So God was a ball of matter that "basically" committed suicide thus causing him to spread throughout the universe. Dude let it go...... Being educated eventually leads to atheism if it is done correctly because everything you learn contradicts myth and lore.

First of you describe the beginning correctly as an infinitely small but dense singularity, you then in the very next sentence attribute to this singularity the term 'being' as if to say it is human like life force qualities.  You need to let go of god, calling the original singularity a being is incorrect, you don't label a rock as a 'being' and nor should you consider the singularity a 'being'. 

And why would a god kill themself, it's absurd! and life doesn't flourish in the universe, as far as we can tell, their is fuck all life except us.  In a universe as vast as this, it seems the exact opposite to flourishing life, life is the exception and not the rule.

OK.

So, let's break this down scientifically, and not let any pesky "god" stuff get in the way. After all, we are educated men of science..are we not?

So..this is science's best theory:
1) There was nothing.
2) There was something.
3) For some reason, this something exploded super big and created the universe.

Yes, that's MUCH better than pesky god stuff. I feel so scientific. I'm gonna go piss on all the religous people.

Just because we don't know the answer that doesn't mean we assume the answer. That is rather arrogant. I have found in my life that people who claim to know everything in actuality know very little. I am mainly referring to the religious who claim to know how we came to be.

If you don't know everything, then by definition, you don't know if there is NOT a god.

You are right. I also cannot disprove the tooth fairy and Santa Clause but i don't believe in them. I cannot disprove a universe of talking vacuum cleaners or a talking tea pot orbiting earth... Doesn't mean i will believe it exists though.

Of course scientists ideas sound far fetched, but they just aren't made up like the religious whack jobs!  Their is actually centuries of observable science behind it, if you learned the scientific principles of aviation, it sounds pretty far out the there, but it works and it can be reproduced over and over again.  The reason science makes fun of religion is because rather than investigating the reality of existence, they are happy to sit back and believe in something that was long ago created to control the masses and is obvious fantasy with absolute zero verifiable proof behind any of it.  To seriously think that God created everything in 7 days and that a woman was created from the rib of man goes against every thing we have learnt about the world around us, surely a mans mind must be very primitive to believe such absurdities.  And don't get me started on such stories as Noahs Ark, even a child can poke a million holes in that whopper!

And you are right, if you don't know everything, then by definition, you don't know if there is a GOD, this is why Religious people are seen as arrogant, they refuse to simply acknowledge the fact that 'THEY DON'T KNOW'.  About the only real sensible stance is too say 'I don't Know', if someone asked you how a tv was made, and you had NO knowledge about advanced electronics and such, and you just said it was made by Magic, and you actually believed this, those that knew better would think you a moron, perhaps even crazy if you continue to insist it was made by magic.  But if you answered honestly and said "I don't know" then people would consider you a reasonable honest individual.

How does God define a day? How can a day be defined if God hasn't created the universe yet? We define day as earth rotating. If God hasn't yet, created that, what does a day mean? How long is a "day" on Jupiter? Phobos? Ganymede? What if, E-Kul, God defined his days as billions of years?

Woman created from rib? What if rib was removed, dna extracted, grown in tube, and then engineered? Would that suit you better? How would biblical man 3000 yrs ago describe genetic engineering and dna?

And, if one could collect the dna of every organism on the planet, would it not fit in the ark? Or maybe even a computer disk? Think outside the box.

Admiral Adama has been all over space. He never once came across the tea pot on his journey to earth. The man saw nebulas and stars explode. He has warped all over the galaxy past many planets. Never once did he see that tea pot. Now you frakking tell me where it is with your voodoo.

Oh brother, the old a day can be as long as God wants it to be argument, you people don't actually listen to yourselves when you speak, do you.  Day and night has occurred on the EARTH well before Adam and Eve, and by your argument, those who wrote the bible may well not have included the time GOD took, because it is meaningless as it actually can't be worked out because the length of time description that was used that was understood by humanity to be roughly a 24 hour cycle is not actually the time frame they wanted to indicate.

And now you are suggesting an ancient obvious primitive people who lacked even the basic utilities modern people have today somehow managed genetic engineering from a rib of man, that somehow magically contained the DNA for a whole other gender of human being.  Oh brother!, Religious people have quite the imagination!  The will dream up any old thing to back up the last thing they dreamed up.

You're not making sense here. Furthermore, it's clear you lack knowledge on the writing of the Bible.
