Religion – your views

[spiraldoor]

You seem to be thinking of a mixture of Poseidon and Zeus.

A giant three-pronged fork-style weapon is called a "trident", btw.

[Xenon]

Looks like a fork, used like a fork (= is a fork). The word 'trident' has taken on yet another meaning...

[iHeckler9]

But it isn't used like a fork, now, is it? But that would be cool; electrifying your dinner.

[spiraldoor]

used like a fork

I disagree...

EDIT: Ah...beaten to it by iHeckler...

[iHeckler9]

I just said that, spiraldoor.

[spiraldoor]

I just said that you said that, iHeckler.

[Xenon]

It could be if we were talking about a garden fork

[iHeckler9]

You're edit says it all...

[spiraldoor]

You're edit says it all...

That is what it was intended to say.

[iHeckler9]

BACK ON TOPIC, PEOPLE!

This is the 27th image that comes up if you type "god" into Google Images:

Yes, that's right. God of War is in the Top 100 "god" images.

[iHeckler9]

God must exist.

spiraldoor's theorem is a good one, but how can evolution do all this?

Everything's evolving, but who could have made this all?

God, that's who.

[Tobbe]

Please shut up. Just because your mind can't comprehend something doesn't mean it isn't true.

God, that's who.

Sorry, but it's nonsense to assume that.

How evolution can do it? Simply because it can. It's too complicated to draw immediate conclusions to, but what we know is that for the most part, the universe we know it as it is now, is caused by the arrangement of particles. They all influence each other as time goes on, and that's what makes the universe what it is. The origin is another question, but what's sure is that the amount of energy that exists in the whole universe, must always have existed, whether or not in a very small particle. Energy does not come out of nowhere, nor does it vanish into nothing. It's always there. You know, what I find the most intruiging thing, is how the particles are all spread out across the universe, but when you imagine a universe without objects and energy... all that's left is just a void. But is a void a place? It's just nothing. That's maybe the hardest to imagine of all things.

[iHeckler9]

Tobbe, you are the one in four in my signature test.

[Acarr]

In biology classes, it's been repeated a few times that the world is so complex that it must have been designed over a long period of time. (...?)

[stan423321]

Noyt in our biology class, but I agree here. I have head that it seems like everything is build of something, including quarks, what quarks are built of, etc. Dom'yt know is it true, anyway - is possible. And what then?

A void isn't nothing. It still has space and time (though neither of them mean anything anymore), and it is still governed by the laws of physics. Although physics is mostly about the interaction of matter and energy, so it wouldn't be that important, either. But still: if a void exists, it isn't utter nothingness.

Also, I've heard that vacuums produce electrons or something. (!)

omg noo0ooOo, I r s0 burned!

At least try to make reasonable arguments while discussing. Not shit like "I cannot imagine how natural selection created humans, so therefore God must exist". That stuff doesn't cut it here. If you actually have something to back your arguments up with, I'd be happy to hear them.
