Current Events > I am not religious, but I cannot say there is no God.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I can't say with certainty that space unicorns don't exist. I'm unicorn agnostic because I'm not stubborn enough to act as if unicorns definitely don't exist.

I cannot say there is no God because "god" is an incredibly loose term with no inherently defined attributes. It'd be like trying to disprove brainwormd that I just made up and are completely undetectable and all of their attributes are completely malleable. You can always just make up new shit.

But that doesn't hold true for actually defined gods. Gods like the Christian god, Islamic god, Hindu gods, etc. These are often trivially easy to disprove

I would insist on the premise of the most profound statement mathematics has to offer: the idea of 0 to 1. It encapsulates everything including the idea of an infinitum that exists in between every number after that. Equally alluring is the idea that matter present in all living and non-living things fundamentally works much like the infinities between numbers. There are the atoms that build bridges between eachother and form other solutions and equations that will span between now and forever.

Is it called God though? I dont know. Language is just placeholder in order for us to make sense of things anyways. Remove that and you have another kind of discussion that will never be suited for tongue that warrants inspection.

The concept of God is definitely reaching for something, but that's part of what makes it interesting. Figuring out what we're even aiming for.

I feel like we see this exact topic once every few months. Maybe a bit more frequently than that, idk its hard keeping track of time especially on this site

I am a firm believer in keeping religion and science separated.

Religion was always something unexplainable for humanity at that point of time.

Things like natural elements (fire, thunder, eventually electricity), biological stuff (diseases being attributed to punishment for heretics) and so on.

Humanity is so arrogant that it thinks we're too important to be just what we are and that there's a higher cause. Everything that science can't explain right now is science fiction...until it's not. Just a coping mechanism against accepting the fact how limited we are even after so many scientfical advancements.

There only truth is that we'll never (as long as we're alive) know and then it's up to every individual to believe whatever they want.

The biggest nonsense is when people start talking about god making stuff perfect and how we wouldn't be alive if X wasn't Y.
Well yeah, we would've evolved differently and then that variation would've been perfect.

Just a pointless waste of time.
