Will Science Rule Out the Possibility of God?

yes that is true about law of averages but at the same time we don't exactly really know how life started living, like how can you put a bunch of chemicals together and create a new life form? as far as my understanding is concerned, you really can't create life out of nothing... The biggest question is where the hell did the infinitely dense and small ball come from in the first place? (DaemonFoe has pretty much covered this) :cheers:

I think it's silly for people to believe that science will "rule out the possibility of God." Especially when overly religious people try to claim that science is of the devil, or people that choose not to "believe" in science because they fear it will take away their God. If you have faith, then you should not worry about something "taking it away."

For me, scientific discoveries only reinforce my belief. How could all of this be? The complexities of biological life are an enigma. Starting with the smallest quark up to the largest stars. It's all too much to imagine. I know some people use these things to fuel their disbelief... But it pushes me in the opposite direction. Maybe because I don't think of God as a man in the sky, or even a man at all... God is energy. God is love (not to sound corny :lol:

). God is not something tangible you can put your hand on, yet you can feel him. Maybe some day, we can use science to prove Him. But if not, then that's okay. I feel Him now, and that's all that matters.

Asking how matter formed from nothing is moot when there is a universe (even empty) around it, or multiple universes/dimensions.

Were did the universe come from in the first place? I treat all scientific theories about this the same way I treat the God answer. Where did it come from? What originally defined the laws of physics? Not in this universe, but in the realm in which universes could be formed? What is outside of that? How far out can we go? If it is infinite and has always existed it is a paradox and not a proper answer. If time and space has somehow been bent by an event to have always existed, there was still a point in some dimension which we do not yet understand where everything was defined.

Hey Daemonfoe..

In the thread i started the other day about God and what our Universe might be you made a comment.
"Thats a Paradox"..

Now i understand what you were getting at.. 8-)

Yep, Paradox. But could it be that even the notion of a Paradox is just a human concept.

String theory deals with matter looping round and in on itself. Maybe in a simular way a Paradox is possible but its our own view of time and space that doesn't allow for it.?

Im up for work early so have to go beddy byes soon. Bet i can't sleep... :lol:

It's like how in the Terminator series, John Connor is only born because he sends his father back to knock up his mom. This loop in time could not have initiated itself. There had to be a previous timeline where somehow a strange turn of events occurred and John Connor was born, thus initiating the loop

I also can't understand why some believers in God think Science is evil.

If there was a being that created everything and us then it is Gods creation that has used the tools God gave them ( their Brains ) to become scientific and practise it..

Just like DNA type science.
People say we shouldn't play God but as we might be Gods creation God has given us the tools and free will to do just that. :think:
