not evolution.
What was before god?
This argument doesn't work as no one knows what was before the big bang just as no one knows where god came from and what was before he was.
Lets continue.
Well, ofcourse if your going to have a simple perception of God, than yes, your not going to really see the "evidence" of creation.
What needs to happen, is a revision of the term God and what it actually means.
I see God as the macro consciousness of life, we souls are only individual aspects of that larger consciousness experiencing itself in this
reality.
We also need to enter in the concept of eternity, the statement that God always was, is, and will be.
You cannot create something from nothing, evolution just does not pop up out of nowhere to propagate an entire Universe most likely teeming with
life.
If you really think about life, does it makes sense to even be alive? If there is no source or Creator, than what is the point to life? Why isn't
there no life instead of all life? Why is there even a Universe, if that is the case?
Logically, if there is nothing in existence, then don't you think things would remain the same? But no, something happened, something instigated or
inspired an evolution, a growth - but where did that spark come from? Where did the energy of that spark come from, where did that IDEA come from?
There must be some form of originator and instigator as I like to call it, there must have been some kind of force - a higher intelligence, that was
able to set things in motion.
An intelligence may only create that which is less than his intellectual capability. Now look throughout the Universe, observe the intelligence in
even the most mundane things, such as the growth of a flower or the cycles of earth. Now apply that to the Universe, does it not seem that nature
itself is imbedded with some kind of intelligence and pattern?
Now, there must have been some greater intelligence that we most likely label God, that imbedded our existence/reality with the intelligence needed to
support life and evolution.
If your going to come at me with scientific arguments, just tell me this - how does something come from nothing? Does it really sound logical and
rational that we exist because of some freak accident that we don't even fully understand? We can't even see past that point in existence, and we
assume that it was an accident, a combustion of random materials that spread outwards to create the Universe we see.
I believe that the physical reality that we experience, this physical Universe, is just a product of consciousness, and not the other way around. Does
it make more sense for the Universe to stem from consciousness, or for consciousness to stem from the Universe?
If consciousness did stem from the Universe, it certainly could not have been by random/chance happening. If it indeed is the product of the Universe,
than that would suggest that the Universe itself is intelligent as something non-intelligent cannot create intelligence.
Do you understand my logic here? It is all very simple, science and religion tend to overcomplicate things or oversimplify truths.
And then the theory that we and everything in creation, are one. If we are one, a unified consciousness experiencing itself individually throughout
creation, than that would suggest true death does not exist as any true death would result in that "one" being reduced to less than what it was.
This just doesn't happen. We know energy cannot be created nor destroyed, yet science cops out and tells us that the energy is just absorbed into the
ground around us... YEAH I BUY THAT ONE
