Why Can God Not Have a Creator, but the Universe Has to Have One? - Comments

I'm sure there must have been a start to the universe because as it is now, it's not like, complete. It's not just a lump of random universe. It's expanding at an ever-slowing rate which suggests that it came from somewhere, from a center.

I learnt about this theory once in Philosophy classes where the universe stops expanding one day and implodes in on itself, becoming what it was before the "big bang" until something triggers that again. This would mean that we'd be living the exact same lives again and again and again...

My parrot can see the ultraviolet spectrum. I'm so damn jealous of him.

You know what really bothers me? We can never imagine a new color.
I literally think about that at least once a day, and I hurt my brain while trying to do it. Just...ugh. It's too much!

As far as the start of the universe...the only logical theory is the big bang theory, because there's actually evidence of it.
If I were going to believe in anything, I'd believe in that, because anything else is just too baffling to imagine.

A few months ago I saw a news report on discoveries that the universe might just be a computer program. Like, it was a legit theory, and apparently scientists had some sort of thing to test it. I don't know anything else about it -- maybe they tested it and it was wrong, or maybe everything actually is a computer program and people are keeping it under wraps because it's too crazy to comprehend, who knows.

Personally, my spirituality is all over the place. Have you ever watched a YouTube series called "Spirit Science"? It's really interesting! It's a really different take on how everything started and all that. And if anything, I really identify with what the series says -- well, most of it.

As far as Christianity goes, I don't really know what to make of it. Well, I do. Religion was made to control people/make them stop asking difficult questions, such as how the universe started. There’s an essay by Einstein called Science and Religion, and it pretty much explains religion spot on. He says that religion starts because of fear – fear of what I can’t remember, but most likely fear of punishment. I’ve found that most psychosocial models begin with a baseline of fear of punishment, hope for a reward phenomenon. Then it evolves to a social/moral religion, where there are rules set in place on a social level, like the Commandments, I suppose. Finally it evolves to a metaphysical sort of religion, where God has no physical being, but rather the observer feels a spiritual enlightenment. Think Buddhism. So that’s basically the explanation for religion

Sorry I went off on a tangent, but that’s what I personally think of religion. I also noticed you make a lot of blogs about religion so I thought I’d add something to think about, maybe~

you just blew my mind at twelve o'clock in the afternoon.

*tetrachromacy LOL
THAT'S SO COOL

TETRACHOMACY

Those sorts of thought provoking questions were the reason why my Catholic school teachers thought I was a little shit

I rant on about not being about to see the whole spectrum a lot and it drives my friends up the wall because then they start getting annoyed that they can't see it.

WHAT NO THATS IMPOSSIBLE SHE'D GET BRAINFUCKED EVERY TIME SHE WENT OUTSIDE

@ arthur dent
MY FRIEND HAS THIIS THING WITH HER EYES WHERE SHE CAN SEE THE ULTRAVIOLET SPECTRUM AND I JUST DIED INSIDE WHEN SHE TOLD ME THIS

YOU AND ME, WE THINK THE SAME WAY AND I ENJOY THIS
I WANT TO SEE EVERY LIGHT FUCK NORMAL

I believe that if we begin believing that God made the universe and some other being created God, we will be stuck in a never-ending loophole of creation and ultimately come up with no plausible answer that can be supported by any kind of hard evidence.

Also, how amazing would it be to be able to distinguish between infrared, UV, etc... A new perspective on everything.
