After just watching the news about those crazy guys in geneva with thier hadron collider is anyone else worried? I understand particle physics to a point and what they are doing is not good. I believe that there is no God and as such have took time to understand the universe. unfortunatley for all you god botherers out there we are in fact the result of a great cosmic accident, there is no grand design, and that accident started with a couple of protons colliding at great speed!! Also if the scientists are to be believed they are looking for the higgs boson particle, the so-called 'God particle' if they find this does that then mean that religion is no longer valid, if we unlock the secrets of the universe (before we destroy it) and prove that actually everything is just an accident, then whats the point to life? I worry about such things. Also its possible that our entire universe could reside in a single atom, that is itself residing under the tonail in the hind leg of a large dog. Is it normal to think about these things?

Normal is almost a synonym of average. It's good that you have those thoughts(from my point of view at least). btw, they can't just prove God doesn't exist. millions of ppl believe in their religions and are afraid to see anything beyond that. those ppl will stay in that position till they die. they are called normal ppl.
I do believe in God, I'm not religious. I don't believe in modern, organized religion, because I don't believe God would want people to be as judgemental as they are in churches.
I honestly think people are too smart for their own good. When it comes to physics and every intelligent, scientific thought that ever popped into a person's head, how do you really know that we have even yet to begin to understand why we are here? We still have eons to go before we ever start "evolving".
I mean we are still very primitive. If you look through our history, are we really so much different from our ancestors? I'm not talking about neanderthals either. Sure we have computers and technology, we also have people who just want to choose to accept a different path, but that doesn't make you right because you can tag some scientific mumbo jumbo to every sentence in your every day conversations.
Even if there is a God and you don't believe in him, tell me what is your purpose in life then?
To use science to dispute religion is as misguided as using religion to dispute science (which is what the catholic church did disputing that the earth was not the center of the solar system, and what creationists try to do in disputing evolution).
The two areas of thought(science and religion) deal with different spheres of conciousness.
There are too many examples. This is one that I came up with recently though: God is defined as a perfect being. The idea of perfection differs between you and I. If you were to imagine the perfect mate, for example, it would probably (most likely) differ than one I conceive and even if it didn't, eventually someone will disagree with our idea of the perfect mate. In other words, perfection is subjective (meaning it changes depending on the subject) The facts of the universe however, are objective (it does NOT change depending who observes it).
[This in itself can be confusing though. For example - you may not be moving right now or you can find something that does not move, but that is only with relativity to the earth. Relative to the sun you ARE moving. So, you are & are not moving at the same time. This might seem like a contradiction, but you have to realize that they don't mean it in the same way!]
Continue...
You cannot manifest perfection because it'll have contradictions, therefore, a perfect being cannot exist (in reality anyway) "He" can exist as an idea though!
I'm a deist, I take no affiliation with any religion. But still believe in a God. I don't get too into it. Don't question my reasons either. I just do.
Anyway I think that it is a waste of 10 billion Euros. All is does is shoot protons at each other at high speeds. They explode, and create a microscopic black hole that lasts a fraction of a second.
To be honest I'm not curious about how everything works either. I figure that I'm here now. I shouldn't waste my life trying to figure out how I evolved from a micro-organism or whatever.
Personally I believe there is a Creator, since eruptions of infinite energy like the Big Bang cannot occur without some outside stimulus. If you want to say our universe came from another universe, then where did that one come from? This is the "logical" part of belief in a god or gods. What you believe about the divine apart from what you know are facts (i.e. evolution, the Big Bang) on is up to you.
Not bad from a guy taking Gr.11 chemistry, huh
Please reply I want to hear what you think of my views
