@godwizard @Atomsmade Because a massive portion of the Earth’s population believe this shit. No one believes in Dragons.

@Burl3782 @wisdomXplorer God is all knowing though, he should be able to tell if I was just being curious or unsure if I am actually dead.

[Phil @Phil_Lord]

@Burl3782 @wisdomXplorer 2/2 It could be also that I mistake this dream like scenerio to be just that - a dream OR I could be drugged up on the hospital bed hallucinating and not really being able to tell if this is a legit offer.

[Phil @Phil_Lord]

@CatholicReplyH @Olu_Utd14 I chose that scenario because it would take an epic public display to jump-start belief in God amongst the non-believers. There is no modern evidence that God intervenes in anyway in people's lives. Probability can account for all "miracles".

[Phil @Phil_Lord]

@CatholicReplyH @Olu_Utd14 "distant experimenter" does sound a little cold and the idea of an Architect entering his own creation is intriguing! He should do it again sometime and perform some superhero shit e.g. God sends giant meteor, Jesus stops it point blank within view of the most populated city.

[Phil @Phil_Lord]

@CatholicReplyH @Olu_Utd14 I’m open to the idea of a creator/first mover, just not the Bible version. More like a curious scientist testing different attributes in different universes and their outcomes.

[Phil @Phil_Lord]

@CatholicReplyH @Olu_Utd14 To gain a better understanding of God's creations, to understand the mind of God. Interesting! Curiosity led to the theory of evolution, which has led to many not believing in a creator (including myself). What a timeline! 😲

@Burl3782 @wisdomXplorer I’m still curious to your answer for “Why would God confuse a massive portion of the population with such strong evidence? Then sending them to hell for not believing?”.

[Phil @Phil_Lord]

@Burl3782 @wisdomXplorer The mechanics of life are to be marvelled at and explored further and I’m thankful we have modern hospitals that increase the probability of a successful birth. I found my wife in the most probable place - in Design class, where we obviously have things in common.

[Phil @Phil_Lord]

@Burl3782 @wisdomXplorer Wouldn’t it make sense to pray for the whole portion that doesn’t believe, as apposed to one person? He’s all powerful! Our loved ones live on in our memories, life means more to us because we don’t know what happens when we die.

[Phil @Phil_Lord]

@Burl3782 @wisdomXplorer Likely weak evidence, there’s also a lot of evidence there is not a God. Why would God confuse a massive portion of the population with such strong evidence? Then sending them to hell for not believing?

[Phil @Phil_Lord]

@DannySBridges @wisdomXplorer Environmental pressures.

[Phil @Phil_Lord]

@DavidBracholi @wisdomXplorer Biological ‘systems working together’ reflects iterative adaptation to environmental constraints, not top-down engineering. When the sun explodes, all life on Earth will disappear.

[Phil @Phil_Lord]

@DannySBridges @wisdomXplorer The probability that you'll survive longer through co-operation with others is likely higher than if you were to go it alone. No book/God needed.

[Phil @Phil_Lord]

@Burl3782 @wisdomXplorer Amazing for sure, but that doesn’t mean it was a creator. Why is the Universe projected to end with a “big freeze”? You could argue planned obsolescence 🤔 . There could be a multiverse with various attributes between each, some with life & some without. It’s a marvellous mystery

@DarrylJonKemp @wisdomXplorer Child cancer? Deafness, blindness, brain damage… Animals eating their own young…

[Phil @Phil_Lord]

@Burl3782 @wisdomXplorer Correct, there is no proof of intelligent life. But the ingredients are out there making the probability more than zero.

[Phil @Phil_Lord]

@Burl3782 @wisdomXplorer We don't "believe", we use probability + evidence. How many stars and how many planets in the habitable zone. Many stars have been observed to hold planets in orbit & in zone.

Asteroid Ryugu: Hayabusa2 mission found all five nucleobases (the molecular letters of DNA and RNA).

@Flex_smg1 @Lyon970 You’re kidding? The Bible is filled with all sorts of rubbish, so anything of value from that book is diluted/meaningless by association. It’s like sharing artwork made entirely with AI, it puts any past work the artist has made in jeopardy.
