HeLLL Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 Yea it is kind off over whelming. But just slow down and don't think just accept and at the end of it you will either agree or disagree :lol: Thats what I did :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciddy Posted August 10, 2003 Author Share Posted August 10, 2003 lol ok protestant and catholics have the same belifs, only they disagree entierly with eachother (look at ireland) those two religions would rather put themselves in the other category than eachother, hense why i put them in diferent categorys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThetaOrionis01 Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 I'm an atheist. I believe that things just happen. The big bang happened because it did. The only creative force there is is quantum mechanics - randomness, probability. Things don't need a reason to happen - they can happen spontaneously. I also believe that religion is an evolutionary survival tool - in other words, mankind created gods in their own image. Our purpose in life is what we make it ourselves.

HeLLL Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 Don't you every wonder if there is a greater force <not nessacerley a god but a force> resonsbile for some of the goings on Theta? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThetaOrionis01 Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 Yes, I have thought about it - and come to the conclusion that there is no such force, much as people would like there to be one. The ultimate responsibility for our actions lies with us - and all we can do is act the best way we can, by the moral standards and codes we have set ourselves or adopted as our own.

HeLLL Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 I agree with you there Theta. We are responsible for are own actions. But then how do you explain where we came from <humans>. I beleive in evolution, but "something" must of started it going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThetaOrionis01 Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 I agree with you there Theta. We are responsible for are own actions. But then how do you explain where we came from <humans>. I beleive in evolution, but "something" must of started it going. As I see it, the origin of the universe was a quantum phenomenon. It just happened. It came out of nowhere. Analogous to quantum foam. Something can come from nothing. If you are talking about very small scales - and the origin of the universe was very small scale - quantum effects are not negligible. The more you confine the space the more pronounced they become. If you have a 0 probability of an event occuring in a very small space, then the rate of change of that probability will be non-zero. So the probability of the event occurring does not remain 0. Which means that there is a chance of the event occurring. So at one point you will have a non-zero probability that a universe comes into being out of nothing. Then from the big bang onwards on to first generation stars, supernova explosions which created the heavier elements needed to form terrestrial planets, the formation of the solar system from the debris of first generation stars, the chemical reactions forming basic organic chemicals, and so on to evolution. And here we are. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeLLL Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 Hahahahah :lol: A quantum phenomenon aye. :lol: well it seems quite plausible so I wouldn't rule out that possibility. I often wonder if the answer to the universe is so complex that our minds can not accept <or intterpit> what actually is. Like time for instance <he he mind the pun>. Will your explanantion could answer why it has taken so many <insert stupid time measurment here> to occur and get where it is today. With the possiblity of something happening in a zero probabilty instance it is a very small certantiy that something may occur and thus <as you said> lead on to bigger things. Its quite amazing to think that something so small can make something so big. <Im not really a "time" person> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
