    Right, so you agree that some things that have not been explained may be the work of God?

    It still wouldn't explain where these physical things came from in the first place to have a big bang, why is there anything at all?

    I wasn't meaning there was a difference in scale.

    Belief/Non-belief in God is a philosophical argument.

    Therefore, you require philosophical paradigms to explore it.

    I can't say rainbows definitely exist because I've heard they do.

    I believe rainbows exist because I've seen them and there's a logical reason for them.

    There's no logical reason that the pagan rituals of a desert tribe, out of over 4,000 variations on same belief system is correct.

    It's easier to look at the physical reasons for why societies would want to believe in a God rather than disprove that he "exists".

    God or Gods is a natural way for primitive peoples to explain things they can't explain - as society has become more sophisticated, these beliefs have become less and less tangible and more theocratic.

    The Celtic Gods existed in nature.
    The Greek Gods lived on top of a mountain.
    The Norse Gods lived on a plane atop our realm of existence.
    An Abrahamic God exists on a different ethereal plane.

    As time goes on, the religions which gain in popularity are those that remove the nature of spirituality from the physical altogether as they are the easiest to co-exist in a world where things like evolution are undeniable.

    It's anthropological logic. EDIT: That's why touchy feely ****e like Buddhism and Taoism continue to become more important

    It is easy to see the logic in why it was necessary for man to create God.

    Therefore, it is far more likely that God doesn't exist with the logic for the necessity of his creation than it is that he imbibed his minions with divine knowledge.

    No, because there is no evidence for the existence of God. Why would you claim something may be the work of something of which there is no evidence of it's existence?

    You wouldn't honestly claim that the universe was created by the magic pixies, would you?

    Actually, you probably would.

    Day 1 - God created light and separated the light from the darkness, calling light "day" and darkness "night."
    Day 2 - God created an expanse to separate the waters and called it "sky."
    Day 3 - God created the dry ground and gathered the waters, calling the dry ground "land," and the gathered waters "seas." On day three, God also created vegetation (plants and trees).
    Day 4 - God created the sun, moon, and the stars to give light to the earth and to govern and separate the day and the night. These would also serve as signs to mark seasons, days, and years.
    Day 5 - God created every living creature of the seas and every winged bird, blessing them to multiply and fill the waters and the sky with life.
    Day 6 - God created the animals to fill the earth. On day six, God also created man and woman (Adam and Eve) in his own image to commune with him. He blessed them and gave them every creature and the whole earth to rule over, care for, and cultivate.
    Day 7 - God had finished his work of creation and so he rested on the seventh day, blessing it and making it holy.

    End of thread :D

    Just to let you know, I didn't read what you typed(no offence), only because I wasn't saying you said anything about scale, it was ST who said that, I was disagreeing with him.

    When I said scale, I was merely referring to the amount of work involved, ie. Loch Ness v the universe.

    Anyway, I'm ****ing off for the day. God willing, the rain will stay away as I'm gonna walk home along the Water of Leith.

    ****ity bye.

    You say that but you canlt actually prove they never had planes in those days - especially as the Vikings were quite clever.

    Sand paper, if you rub hard enough you can get a smooth finish on anything.
