[QUOTE="Ralan, post: 5674, member: 35"] [b]Religion[/b] A few ideas. ------------- [b]Science:[/b] Science is man's perception and understanding of everything. It is as closely bonded with him if not more than his mammalistic nature. Sentiency and science are in a sense two parts of a whole, in another a family with sentiency as parent and science as offspring. Everything in the universe, as long as we observe it and try to understand it, is a scientific subject. Even religion can be defined as a science. [b]Two Perceptions:[/b] [b]The defined universe, the universe as vector. [/b] This is the generally religious perspective. The universe's point of creation is definable, sentiency in the universe is a balanced force, with a guiding force (God) and a following force (man), and the universe's point of destruction is definable (apocalypse). [b]The open universe, the universe as scalar. [/b]This is the generally atheistic perspective. We can attempt to calculate to point at which the universe was born, but until we have complete proof that the universe was created at all (which is impossible because we would have to witness the birth by existing before the universe itself), the universe may never have been born at all, or could have been born at any time. Sentiency is a single force, striving unguided for better understanding of the universe. The universe's point of destruction can be guessed at, but can never be proven unless we witness it (which is impossible because by the time the universe is completely gone, we no longer exist to observe its non-existance). [b]Strength when faced with No God[/b] A human is not emotionally strong enough to fully face the fact that there is no God or greater force. We can admit to the complete lack of evidence for a god or any supernatural entity, and define ourselves as atheists, but we can never fully comprehend our complete aloneness an fragility. There are two reasons that this may be so: - God created man and saw no reason to give him the ability to comprehend God's non-existance, as God clearly does exist because he's doing the creating. - Evolution did not provide man with the ability to comprehend God's non-existence because it is not neccessary for his survival; evolution itself does not know that it has made man sentient and therefore in need of that ability, because evolution is not sentient itself and sentiency was an accident.
