[QUOTE="Khaos, post: 82074, member: 2880"] That wasn't God. That was Religion. I think of a higher power and religion as two different entities. A higher power that created something from nothing. Can you explain how everything came into existence? Chemical reactions right. But what started those reactions? I get the fact that evolution allowed single celled pieces of slime billions of years ago, to mutate into multiple celled pieces of slime that continued to mutate into what we have today. Animals, plants, insects, humans. But what caused those mutations? Why did they mutate? Why are we continuing to mutate? Will it ever end? Religion on the other hand... created to keep order and control in a populace. Basic solution to a problem. Its why we have laws. Its why the NSA is breathing down our necks. To keep order and control in the populace. I don't believe a higher power would demand anything out of what it creates. I believe Religion would though. I believe someone would intertwine a God and Religion to make the religion more intimidating. Make it more believable. Thousands of years ago it was. These days however... But a God? Can you effectively rule out the existence of a God? Some omnipotent force that created something from nothing? And before you think of me as a devout religious believer, another surprise. I don't follow any particular religion. I have a belief in a higher power and that's about it. This higher power holds no influence in my life. I don't believe my higher power would make me imperfect and demand me to make me perfect. Actually my higher power didn't make me. My mom and dad did. :P [/QUOTE]
