BlogResponse: Divine Creator? |
im not religous but i think thats kinda the point. i dnt think the literal God and heaven ideas are suppose to make sense acroding to science. its a spiritual thing so its outside the realm of how we think about the world. i think. i agree thought if only religous people didnt abuse their beliefs to hurt people and take away rights. cuz there are alot of people who are helped by religon and if people would stop using it to spread their hate it would be a much better thing. a great thing really.

They'll just come up with arguments to circumvent it:
6 days could actually be millions of years to God.
Neanderthals were not pre-cursors to humans, they were just pre-Flood people.
Maybe God set evolution in motion.
That last one doesn't sound too awful in my opinion; because that reflects the beliefs of deists, and I do have respect for deists even if I don't really agree with them. Nonetheless, it doesn't even have to be deists. My mom is a Christian but believes full-well that the creation story is mythical and not meant to reflect reality and believes God set evolution in motion.
It's a hell of a lot better than hearing fundamentalists say "God put fossils on the earth to mislead us."

I think religion was created to give people questions to answers they didn't have answers to. And the thing is, especially throughout history, people strongly believed it, because religion was their only source of hope, and almost everyone didn't know any better.
Today, I honestly still feel like (certain aspects) of religion are there just to keep people from thinking for themselves. Instead they're told not to worry, and that there is a god that will take care of everything for them.
Parts of religion are good, and some religions are actually very open minded, but there are many aspects of certain religions I don't agree with.
