Who or What is GOD? Creation vs. Science. EPISODE 100!!!
THIS IS EPISODE 100!! Woo Hooo! Thank You Listeners in Podcast Land!!!
There is 4,200 religions recognized as of 2022, with a different GOD or GODS. THE GOD may be you, or an alien, or a man that walked the earth, or a handful of Gods over certain aspects of life. Or, many other variations. Among these various beliefs is differing opinions about what happens after death. With so many choices, how does one select the right option? Some will say you must have faith. Ok, on to the other aspects covered.
Energy never dies, it simply transforms. But with consciousness or a soul, where does that end up?
Prophecy & Prophets are in many written text. This would infer determinism, or a set path everything must play out for said prophecy to occur. In turn that discards free-will. Many people don't take this into account. But, it is a construct worth looking at.
Thoughts & personality come from your brain says science. Trillions of neurons wired together receiving electric impulses through the synapse account for everything we do and think. But there is soul or spirit in most religion. Is that the defining spark of life? What about intuition, or that voice that comes to us in meditation, prayer, or a split second decision? Could it be our spirit connecting with the higher source...GOD?
The matrix of our world is one dimension we use 5 senses to navigate. Humans operate in a very specific range with all these senses. Animals for example have wildly different forms of these senses, just not the same brain capacity as us. What if we had say infrared vision or super hearing/smelling? Would we see other beings around us, or hear sounds...maybe voices that would scare us? Possibly we were created tuned to these specific ranges so we don't have information overload & go crazy!
GOD is jealous, petty, prideful, insecure, and judgmental in many religious writings. Also he likes to be worshipped. Oh and he needs you to plant seeds of money so you can prosper. It is amazing how this turns in to mega rich churches, pastors, & gurus. This isn't in all views of GOD. The ones that use these techniques definitely should be further examined instead of followed with blind faith. This is an obvious technique many people use to brainwash followers while enriching themselves. Many people need to look into the roots of their faith. Where did it originate, translations, connections between other faiths, and is there obvious re-writings?
Where did humans come from? Evolution or creation? What time period? It's easy to get caught up in science theory or religious theory on this one. You have to be willing to look outside your current box of thinking in this area to find real answers. With so many theories (best guesses) how do we really find truth!?
Dan from "the Human Factor" podcast joins me to discuss these thought provoking questions. We both respect everyones believe system whether religious, or scientific. Of course we have some of our own beliefs. I encourage everyone not to get caught in dogma. Its a trap. A box. Once you're in you observe everyone or everything else as automatically wrong. This only starts fights & wars. We have certainly seen this throughout history. Enjoy this one, & take care!
