Do You Prefer Fact Or Fiction?
285 Answers
After 55 years on this earth I prefer fact.
As much as it pains me, as much as it upsets me, I prefer facts over faith.
A few weeks ago I was nearly suicidal. Still prefer facts to 'faith'. If I had ended my life then, I would have been dead, end off, no atheist in foxhole here.
Just dont understand this religious preoccupation with living forever....
I honesty just dont get it?
What the hell are you going to to FOREVER?
It would be like watching a game of football that went on forever...there wouldnt be a point,

But still creates "life". If we couldn't do that, pregnancy wouldn't even exist. Single cells that can do nothing at all, can develop into independent life, with the right chemicals and environment.
It clearly "has" happened in any case- so where is the evidence that it must be God?
Are you assuming we know everything there is to know, and end up with God by a process of elimination? X

//MIBs, I'm astonished that you show no interest in the big questions.//
I'm satisfied with the answers I have found to "the big questions". Those answers such as I've attempted to share at various times don't appear to have the ring of truth to you. I appreciate your interest but our inability to co-relate to our shared reality seems so far to have resulted in an insurmountable standoff with no resolution in sight.
I'll most likely keep posting when and as the inspiration prompts me. I'm not interested in agreement for its own sake, only broadening of knowledge and improved mutual understanding.

I don't fancy my musings on the supposed 'origin' of the universe qualifies as a theory, but for starters, I don't presume anything is created. Eventually someone came up with the notion of a 'creator'. But that came much later.
I would however recommend you look further than answer boards and ancient texts for answers to 'the big questions', most of which are only recently coming to light. 'God' was never very forthcoming with 'His' means and methods. There more we learn the more apparent it becomes that 'God' was quite intent (for some reason) on leaving us in the dark for as long as possible.

//Then I presume you have some theory regarding the creation of the universe?//
I know that ^ wasnt addressed to me but then I presume that you have some evidence of God and some evidence to back up your claim that God ''did it''??
Even if you presented some evidence that God ''did it'' it doesnt show which God!
Osiris? Loki? Allah? Bramha? Zeus? Krishna? Ahura mazda?
A million other Deities?
The Genesis stories read as parables, nothing else. (And plagiarized
from earlier myths at that.....Babylonian, Sumerian etc.)
How on Earth can you take these stories (Genesis 1-3) as factual history?
The mind boggles.
Magical trees, talking snakes, enchanted gardens.....
At least C.S. Lewis acknowledged that Narnia wasn't real.
Dont go into your wardrobe. Might be in for a fright?

Let Theland win. We can teach it in schools.
The universe was created in 6 days by an omnipotent God.
No need anymore for inquiry into cosmology, paleontology, Zoology, Archaeology, Anthropology, Psychology, or any other ology.
Its all answered in the first few chapters of an ancient text with a talking snake, a man made of dirt and his missus made of a rib who took a bite of a magic fruit.
And there, ladies and gentlemen, is the cause of all our problems.
From frostbite to cancer. From a cold to Covid.
From a volcano death to an infant death.
Its all our fault......
ALL because our great, great great...etc...
Ate from a magical tree.... Yeah, lets teach this stuff in schools. Sounds like a great idea..

There's only a few things you need to know.
God is holy, and holiness is something barely understood by us.
Being holy, He hates sin, and we are sinners.
You can investigate Gods solution to our problem, through Jesus Christ, if you like. Highly recommended.
But whether you do or not, two things are certain.
First, He is real, an all consuming fire.
Second, one day you will stand before Him.
