Synthetic life 'advance' reported
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7203186.stm
It would seem that we are not too far away from creating new life in the lab.
The argument for 'science cannot explain life' ..... therfore there must be a GOD will need some tweaking now, although this advance will lend itself nicely to the ID argument . . . . back on the merry-go-round.
Having watched people die in front of my eyes, there's always that strange moment of aura when the person gasps his last breath. I have always wonder in that final moment of salvation does the person accept his religion and his creator. On a similar vein to think of all the stars in our universe is greater than all grains of sand on earth is a shattering thought as to why are we so special.
Philosophy is not my strength, but we all have to serve somebody. Everybody lives on HOPE.

Absolutely as has been said in this thread quite a few times, nobody can prove whether God exists or not.
I'm not ready to risk that God doesn't exist.
repost ...You must be in healthcare also - the first time you see someone have their last breath is truly horrendous isn't it? Then it just makes you think a lot more about life and death.
I have seen the eyes of dying men, their eyes filled with confusion. I do not think they were asking why they are dying, but why they had ever lived... - who knows where madness lies - perhaps to surrender dreams - maybe too much sanity is madness - but maddest of all - to see life as it is, and not as it should be."

If god created us in his own image.. why are we so flawed in design?
Could you be more specific about the flaws in design please?I think mind is faulty in processing information, imagination, memory, observation et cetera.
Am interested to see if the flaws can be defined.
If we observe all other nature it operates on a simple survival process.The strong, fast, camouflaged, cunning, largest and other abilities survive.
If god created us in his own image.
I think the closer truth is Man created GOD in his own image.
Nine in 10 people will have a back problem.Could you be more specific about the flaws in design please?
Yes, God with a capital g, is in our image, but that's a relatively modern idea. The pagan gods, from where Yahweh came, were a motley crew, each having various attributes. The oldest of the gods, Apsu and Tiamat - who made all the other gods, were the fresh and salt water. From these Sumarian gods the Babylonian and Assyrian gods developed and eventually developed into the Greek and Roman gods, and we know they are sort of half human and animal. Then check the Egyptian gods. Yahweh became the god of Abraham, over all the other tribes chosen gods in Canaan/Mesopotamia, for unknown reasons, but at the time he was just the god of the sky. Once Abraham made his covernant with Yahweh to honour him and foresake all the other gods, Yahweh then started to develop attributes of all the other gods. One very important aspect that Yahweh took on was the god of war. He became an extremely powerful being and would assist Abraham and later Moses to destroy all in their path. Even still, at this time, the world was pagan, but as the tribes of Israel became more powerful due to the assistance of Yahweh, He (now with a capital H) took on all the other functions of all the others gods. He became the one God! If the Iraelites, coming out of Egypt had have failed in taking Canaan after their 40 years in the Sinai, God knows what we would be worshipping now. Maybe Apollo....I think the closer truth is Man created GOD in his own image.

So, God exists, but as a myth originally created by the Sumarians in about the 13th century BC.
Rant over.
Question:
There is no dude dressed in red and white who breaks into familes houses to give them presents?
As the priest playing a round of golf in the movie "caddyshack" said-
There is no god.
He should watch Hawthorn & see the new messiah- Buddy
You can google it and find some good stuff.Actully Kennas I would really like to research more about Pegan gods.. where would one start tho?
Gettt---Outtt!!!
Kennas Yes I agree Many gods suffered the same fate,Damned if you do damned if you dont!
So I'll alter my observation to.
I think the closer truth is Man created GOD/S in his own imagination!
