maryhig new thread from this thread professing.proboards.com/post/1060552/quote/32318?page=11I have no reason to doubt this is your sincerely held belief. I'll start a new thread "Belief in God using Nature" ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I started to write the arguments about why nature is not proof of god, and why finding a house or a watch is also not proof of a god designer, but as these are old arguments going back hundreds of years, so I'll just post a few videos which do a better job than I can write.

I've come to this place where I don't really engage with people on this line.
I find it personally plausible that the nature of existence and the laws of physics that seem to govern the existence could indicate a higher order of intelligent power. I don't rule it out, at any rate.
What people invariably do is jump from that to a personal God that whispers sweet nothings to them, requires them to follow a few arbitrary lines from an ancient book, and seems to hate the gays.
It's a pretty wide chasm between the two, that requires a certain sort of arrogant and oblivious righteousness to merrily hop across.

I don't rule it out, at any rate. I feel the same way. There is much we don't know, and much that we think we know, that will be proven wrong in time. If one asked the top 100 people in any field from 100 years ago; What 10 things do you all agree on? Then examine their answers 100 years later; some would be unchanged, some would need modification, and some would be discarded and replaced with a different explanation. This is the how knowledge advances. So as this is how things work, I try to stay open to better and different ideas. I find it better to live in a world that is vs living is a world that I wish ought to be.

I will get to this when I've looked at everything. Thank you 😊
