I always wondered about that too. In the bible it says that God made man in the shape of himself. I do believe that is one of his forms but I believe he can take on any shape or form.Brox wrote:I believe God exists, but I question a form of his existence. Many people talk about God but in fact, no one knows anything for sure. Does he look like a man or does he have some other shape and form? Is he actually a strong vibration of energy and does he have a body like we do?
Do you question the existence of God?

For the question to be meaningful, we have to know *which* god you mean. Then, we have to know how we would even confirm or dispute the discovery of such a being. Is there an empirical test to let us know we've found god? Can we even devise a falsifiable statement to use in such an experiment?
Take the statement "Gravity propagates in a measurable wave through spacetime." Until recent times, scientists couldn't give a definite yes or no to this statement. Along came a brilliant experiment and the chance to see it in action, and we now know the answer.
Now what statement do you propose for the existence or nonexistence of God? What experiment can we perform, and what data can we gather? How do we go about interpreting such data?
This is why I'm agnostic. I don't know if God exists, sure, but my agnosticism goes a step further - I don't think you could get any group of people to agree on what "God" is long enough to devise a meaningful test, let alone answer such a question. But I also think the universe is just fine without a God - there's so much out there to found, and any one of us could make the next incredible discovery. That's spirituality for me - humans can discover bits and pieces of the universe, and ourselves in the process.

Hi, Good day. I would like to reply with your previous comments..If you are pretty much sure that there is no GOD, you also had many questions to be ask for? right? who do you think is the one who create sky, mountains, and other living things? Can we create these things?? Of course, the answer is probably not. We cannot justify these things even we use science or any other human parameters. I have many question regarding the existence of GOD; what is his real name; and why he did not perfectly create the universe, but at the end of the day, I really believed that there is one superior and almighty GOD who create everything including human. This is the question that you cannot anymore explain, even you asked million of people around the world.Science cannot correctly argued to the world that those things which cannot explain and be explained by science are now under "natural science". that is very ironic.
Hahaha lol

That's quite a view. You sound like you are definitely sure about what you believe and think.TCC Edwards wrote:Which god? The God of the Torah? Allah as he's described in the Quaran? Zeus? Ra? The Great Green Arkleseizure?

I disagree though that you can't get a group of people to agree on "God." There are groups of people that have believed in God for quite a while. It's just that those separate groups all disagree about who God is.

Yes, when you have a relationship with God, you no longer have the desire to question him. It's the same for me.bluegreenmarina wrote:I used to question and seriously doubt God's existence and then I was lucky enough to have a lot of my questions about Him answered and now most of the time I don't need to question anything because I have a relationship with Him that demonstrates his presence to me daily.

The Bible also uses figurative language which can be hard to understand if not meditated on. It does say he made man in His image. As explained to me by ones much wiser than I am. That refers to the qualities He gave us, like love for instance, the most important of all.

So now the sequel to The Big bang theory is Plasma theory.... . The evolution is on. Scientific discovery is good. It reveals our power of dominion from God to subdue the earth.
