Finlarg's God Hypothesis
Most of my videos about gods and religion examine what I regard as weaknesses in theistic arguments. In this one, I describe what I think gods are and how they ...

"at 1:46 u said to prove his existence he interacted with people. Can u
tell why he do not interact with us now and by this God Hypothesis what do
u mean is it the god we created or the god who is the reason for big bang
to happen
plz rply"
At 1:46 I was making the point that God interacted with humans *according
to the stories* in the Bible.
I don't think He interacts with us now, because I don't think He's real -
at least not in the way most Christians believe today. I think God is a
human construct which describes what they think a creator would be like.
I don't know if there even is a *reason* for the big bang to have happened,
and I know even less whether there was a god behind it!

The end of materialism - Simon Conway Morris

+rugossss Its all opinion - and most people with those opinions honestly believe that it was self created, whereas it clearly belongs to an adopted system of thought. Some people would rather be certain in their limited views than battle with the question of reality. They reside in the small patch of light that has been created for them, unaware of how deep the dark of ignorance goes.
Prof Morris' belief in Christ hinges around the resurrection, as does the
belief of all of us that are Christian. Is it really so hard to believe
that God exists? The main reason that the vast majority of people don't
topically believe in God is because he is not present in their living
rooms. This empirical approach to knowledge is adopted by just about
everyone who is retreating from things they don't want to even try to
acknowledge as a possibility. I have yet to see any defense of this
philosophical idea (empiricism) from any person that trolls these sights in
order to debunk Christianity. The real reason people reject even the
possibility of God? They don't want to admit that there are acceptable
limits to their behavior. They can't even begin to admit that they might be
held accountable for what they have done. Most of them are young and
secretly believe that they are going to live a long and full life and are
putting off the inevitable consequences of their nihilistic/ narcissistic
life style.
+rockhound570 theist Wow. The "accountable for what they have done" nonsense again?!What a load of rubbish! All of it soundly refuted countless times before, but it won't stop theists from trotting it all out again." Is it really so hard to believe that God exists?" For many who aren't already *emotionally* attached to the idea, YES."The main reason that the vast majority of people don't topically believe in God is because he is not present in their living rooms." NO; the main reason is that there is no evidence that any gods, anywhere, have ever been present, in addition to the fact that there is abundant evidence throughout history that people have invented god stories."the inevitable consequences of their nihilistic/ narcissistic life style"Simple, isn't it? If you don't believe my absurd myth, it's surely the result of your nihilistic/ narcissistic life style!How utterly despicable.
I'm a big fan of S.Morris work. He's a brilliant scientist and makes very
good arguments for the 'invisible landscape' that allows natural selection
to build creature design. I'm a bit surprised though, that he is a
christian, and in particular, seems to believe in a literal resurrection
(of Jesus). In the biblical story, whether there were so called 'eye
witnesses' to the resurrection is irrelavant. Some people today actually
believe that preachers are actually performing miracles on TV, like Benny
H. Are their testimonies reliable? Of course not.
Yep I am also big fan of S.C.Morris and mostly his convergence theory and I am also stunned to get to know that he is religious. However... it seems to me (from what I've heard) that he simply doesn't want to offend some grandma which is still walking on our dear earth. The guy is 2 smart INDEED !
