What part of the 'God concept' seems reasonable?

Favorite Answer

None of it ever made much sense to me.

The only concept of god I could buy is if some hyper-dimensional alien created our universe via some kind of experiment, or that we are all part of a simulation being run by such an alien. But I've yet to meet a god advocated by any religion that makes sense to me....Show more

To "Q & A MAN": Your argument isn't very valid. When a woman has conceived a child, the baby, of course, isn't immediately fully grown. It starts off as a fetus without all of the bodily systems that you would see in a human. Also, even when the child is born, it continues to grow. The child even ends up with more bones than it once had; certain functions of an infant's brain get weaker as they get older too because they end up being obsolete. As we grow, our cells continuously multiply causing us to get greater in size, so the theory that we all started from a single celled organism isn't too far fetched. Not to mention, a lot of microorganisms that cause illness evolve as our medicine gets more advanced. It's all about the organism adapting so that it can be ahead of the game and insure the continuation of the species. EDIT: Another thing that I forgot to mention is that our "design" isn't even flawless. We're susceptible to mutations and illnesses. Also some parts of the body aren't really necessary; there are some things that our bodies can't naturally recover from as well.

Now to the question: The only part of the 'God concept' that seems reasonable is the "let there be light" thing. Maybe this was possibly the big bang. Maybe this universe was created accidentally by some intelligent beings or some natural occurring phenomenon. Perhaps it'll happen again. The idea of an omnipotent being has simply evolved with mankind over time to explain what couldn't be explained. Even now when we can't explain something we associate it with things that we are already familiar with....Show more

One part of the concept that seems reasonable is the frailty of human beings . People can conceive of a need to have a God because of their limitations . The picture of God forming humans on earth as a concept tends to error on the notion God made up people , wound them up and put them on earth . The real concept there is far too esoteric for human beings to instantaneously ' get ' . God is capable of creating beings who chose to be how they are !...Show more

Hmm, well, all of it. All the evidence suggests a completely natural formation and adding a god of any type does not provide a a better explanation or solve any problems. Simply, saying a god was involved with how the universe formed is rather like saying that the stars have any appreciable effect on our daily lives....Show more

God's concept is all reasonable- he is a spirit therefore everything he does is spiritual he is not limited to the limitations of man's thinking, in our minds God is silly- but in our spirit- if you let God in it makes says as the bible says: New International Version (©2011)
The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit....Show more
