Do You Believe In God?

[Happy Face 29]

I have heard that before. Agree with HF like. What a cop-out

 

"What senses do we lack that we cannot perceive another world all around us?"

Is there a standard answer to that as well?

Questions with no answer, I realise that. I just don't agree with the implication from HF that no rational and intelligent person can believe in God. Many of the world's most foremost scientists have been believers, for example, and their religious beliefs didn't impact their discoveries.

 

I wouldn't suggest it for a second.

 

The most intelligent people comprehend the magnificence of the universe far better than the rest of us and inevitibly struggle with the questions surrounding the unknown to a far greater degree than people indoctrinated into a church unquestioningly or people that dismiss the good from all religion because the story of Noah is preposterous.

 

EDIT: What I mean is, I know nowt about the universe. There's far more intelligent people than me that know much more and still believe in god. The question of what happened in the milliseconds before the big bang and ealier are beyond a dunce like me, and I'm awestruck wondering about it.

 

What I question is why people (the ones more intelligent than me) choose to devalue that question by explaining it away with an imaginary magician that did it by waving a wand. I can't comprehend why they have to make up an answer when the question is more inspiring. Attributing the answer with human emotions and motives.

 

I believe those people actually think the same way as me, but prefer having an answer (however unreasoned) rather than a question.
