Life’s an illusion.

Statistics. Proof there is a God/

“I’ve looked at life from both sides nowFrom win and lose and still somehowIt’s life’s illusions I recallI really don’t know life at all”

If God created everything out of nothing, then who created God? Was he created by the human mind or perhaps by an explosion?

Intelligent life is a matter of definition. As a species how intelligent we are is up for grabs as we are likely to be a very short lived species in the big picture.

The chance of advanced life developing on Earth is now 100%, since it did indeed happen. But really, you’re just the far end of a probability curve. Nothing mysterious. The universe is so large that, for one incredibly brief time or another, something like this had to happen. You only think it’s special because it produced you to think it’s special. In the blink of a cosmic scale eye, it will be gone, leaving not even a ripple in the universe. So don’t spend time worrying about stuff. When you die, you and the universe will cease to exist, but for now, your life is the only game in town. Play with it.

I love the way @exoticdoc2 et al, have skewed a comic comment about a feline furball into a theological polemic.

Puhleeze ! It’s a funny strip. Don’t try to make it a religious apology.

Life is like a Turtle… Bye the way " Are You A Turtle ?"

Give it up, Earl. The cat doesn’t care what you say.

When a cat is sitting in your spot you pick up the cat, sit down and cuddle the kitty on your lap.

In the multiverse of possibilities, we are so far out on the fringes of improbability that there’s nothing more normal than feeling weird.

In other words: Beat it, Muffin!

oh Earl sit in the matching chair

I have spent my life as a scientist/technician and have come to the conclusion that there are limits to what we can comprehend; at least at this point in our evolution. To argue for or against the existence of God is just as pointless as arguing about the beginning of the multiverse. It comes down on either side of the arguments as a matter of faith.Science and religion are actually compatible IF you stop trying to make one justify the other.

angelfiredragon said, @D W“I wouldn’t say poofed, I believe that God used evolution to create things and it took him quite some time. He had to evolve things to where he wanted them.”.This assumes we are the final goal rather than just a step along the path to the REAL goal.(It also assumes goals.)
