Do you find it interesting that both scientific and religious theories are dead ends?

What I mean is that science believes that the origins of the universe derive from the Big Bang. Which is the theory that the universe started from nothing which than exploded. Since one of the principles of science is that nothing can come from nothing that leads to a dead end. Religion preaches that God created the universe but God is a being that you and I have never seen nor is there any proof that he exists or doesn't. Another dead end.

Thoughts?

    I think you should check your claims about the Big Bang. That is definitely not what it proclaims. It is the belief is that a small, extremely dense mass existed, and this high pressure object exploded (do to the highly concentrated mass). There was no introduction/loss of energy in this instance, so I wish theists would stop trying to use that as an argument. The mass was an extremely high energy ball, so the laws of conservation applied. This theory is supported by the fact that the universe is expanding.

    Thoughts? Firstly before anybody whines about "just a theory" people better start realizing that theory in science is DIFFERENT than theory in layman terms... The United States National Academy of Sciences defines scientific theories as follows: The formal scientific definition of theory is quite different from the everyday meaning of the word. It refers to a comprehensive explanation of some aspect of nature that is supported by a vast body of evidence.

    NOW.... Science has already obliderated all creation myths through proof and evidence. Religious people can not use their inability to grasp science or unwillingness to have an advanced education as an argument against science.

    It is NOT "something made of nothing" - If your going to make claims about how the universe was made then you need to research it a hell of a lot more. The big bang is not just "one big mass that went ka-boom." Science, unlike religion, is constantly advancing it's knowledge and research - Something religion can not do with the restrictions their writings and philosophies put on their people.

    My thought is that you should actually learn about what you are talking about before spouting any more ignorant notions about why it's wrong.

    Because "started from nothing, which then exploded" bears virtually no resemblance to the actual theory of the Big Bang.

    This is not actually the theory that all scientists hold. They would tell you that the universe was already here, and that the Big Bang was just an event in its history and not the beginning.

    It is and it is not at the same time.

    At least scientific discoveries do not encourage people to hate gay and non-science believers. They offer fair challenges without condemnation.

    Nature has its sizes and we might not discover things that are beyond our perceivable senses, too large and too small.

    Love how you misstate the Big Bang Theory. Great straw man.

    "Religion preaches that God created the universe but God i"

    No it doesn't. There are zillions of religions that countless of cultures have invented and they are all different from one another. None of them are based on actual observations. They are primitive man's invention to explain a world he did not understand.

    You speak of science as if, like theism, there is one idea that must be kept to like dogma... Never altering according to new evidence...

    That just shows an utter lack of understanding of the scientific method and your statement regarding the Scientific Theory of the Big Bang shows that all you know about it comes from church, not a proper education.

    Only theists say "the universe started from nothing which than exploded" (it should be "THEN" exploded, BTW) and that statement alone shows that you have no desire to become educated on anything...

    Second, regardless of which diety you venerate, if you are stating that it is capable of creating the multiverse yet is incapable of proving its existence to humanity, then why call it god?

    A GOD doesn't have to rely upon the most mentally ill people on earth to "Prove his/her/their existence" by seeing a face in a salt stain in a Chicago Underpass or interpret a screw impression in a goldfish cracker to be evidence of "Jesus".

    YES, This Science you speak about, has claimed that Energy CANNOT be created NOR destroyed. SO, my take on that would then be, that Energy has ALWAYS been, since it cannot be created.

    Science also says, that ALL things are a form of energy. My take on that is that all Energy was once pure energy, and then changed to become what is currently present.

    Since ALL things are Energy, then a Human is also energy, in another form. And a human has a Spirit, and a human is living, and a human is intelligent. So, this then means, that there is a spirit that is Energy, is Living, and is intelligent. Once a human dies, this spirit continues ON, being that it is Living Energy and has Intelligence.

    So then, MY take on this is that Spiritual Energy has life, and intelligence, and God, being spiritual, and is living, is also Intelligent.

    And God, being of pure intelligent Energy, and since Energy cannot be destroyed, nor has a time of creation being that it cannot be created, then God must be also eternal.

    we as spirits are part of God, and so we too are eternal.

    --------------------

    God being pure energy, used His thoughts, which are also energy ( Science agrees), and this energy of Thought, then changed the pure Energy into Mass, and then Matter, and BANG, the big boomo.

    Thus NO DEAD END.

    ---------------------

    There would be no mention of Eternal Life, if it wasn't possible. I see that souls and the spirits attached to these souls, are eternal beings also, but God can make it so that those spirits and souls that choose to be with Satan, can do so. They will never perish, being that they are spirits and souls, but they will not spend their eternal life with God, of their own choosing.

    Of course, I think God will allow anyone who repents, to be with Him.

    If at the day of Judgment, these souls and spirits, choose to NOT be with God, then God will simply allow this. And these souls would then spend eternity with that which THEY chose. Satan.

    God is not sending these souls there, these souls CHOOSE to be there, just as the Angels who went with Satan, chose to be with Satan.

    so people need to stop saying God will condemn them, when in truth, is these spirits and souls, that condemn themselves.

    I do find it interesting that you have no idea what the Big Bang is, but you think you do.
