I am a 100 % sure atheist! The Bible is a fairy tale! Try to imagine an omnipotent being (God) who does not need anything or anyone, but decides one day to create a universe in which he places animals, including man, and other livings beings that need to kill other creatures for their survival. This is gross enough! But the most ridiculous part is that God needs to be adored and thanked by humans and that those who don't comply will be subjected to his eternal revenge. This imagined God would be a narcissist, and also a sadistic maniac. This story does not pass a rational examination.
But how to answer the question of where does the universe come from? Since obviously it does not come from a God, we must examine the universe to try to find an answer to this question.
The universe is a result of the transformation of energy under its various forms. We must search around the theories about atoms, electrons, positrons, neutrons,and the attractions and repulsions.
Does a God pushes a positive charge towards a negative charge? Obviously not. The positrons do not need a push. They behave as if they had a mind of their own. The universe is the result of the interactions of various forms of preexisting energy. There is no new energy that a God would have created. Nothing is lost and nothing is created. Everything is continually changing.
If we look at different kinds of living things, it is impossible not to notice that all of these, including mammals, can be considered as a left side and a right side, left eye, left arm, left leg. left foot, right eye, right arm, right leg, right foot. Birds, insects, fish and other animals have a similar arrangement, left and right, for their propulsion on land, in the water or in the sky.
The basic shape of living things is the one mentioned above. Each living thing is like another living thing for all the essential functions. Why not more variety? What a great lack of imagination is this for an omnipotent and super-intelligent creator? The truth must be that these similar shapes are caused by natural forces, always the same, that affect every living things.
All things considered, there is no need to interrogate self-proclaimed representatives and messengers of God.
The end is near! The end of deceit!
There are so many unknowns, especially the unknowns we don’t even know are unknown yet!
Entanglement for one. Particles ‘travelling’ faster than light another. Dark matter. Who knows what is going on?
We have no other alternative than continuing to explore the universe with the hope of eventually solving the mystery of life in everything that comes to life, grows, ages and dies! Thank you for your comment!
@evhemere ...and what would you do if it was discovered there was an over-arching intelligence. Would you embrace it or just disbelieve?
I am agnostic about god in the since that I if god is claimed to be unkowable then I can't know what I by definition can not know. This being said I am 100 % certian by what I do know that there is no god.
P.S. How can anyone tell me anything about an unkowable god?
