Some Scientists Believe They Have Proof Of God
In reply to deanjones
thanks for that...I have always found the contemporaneous rise of religion in such wide geographic locations interesting.
Now, I believe in God but I don't really believe in its willful acts in my destiny. I also do not believe too much in personification of God. I do think God is a life force...or the entire universe itself...
Ponder this...
There are trillions of micoro-organisms living in our body right now..I don't know their conciousness level..I do know a huge portion of them die when I die..."some will survive" and move on....but stay with the analogy...
To these micro-organism, by body is their cosmos and I am their God.
extrapolate that analogy to you and this universe we occupy...

Far too often the layman confuses the concept of creation by a greater being with religion.
Religion is a man made device that is culturally specific but there is no coincidence that the concept of God exists in all civilizations.
In reply to DAVE400
Agreed. For all we know we are the building block of something much greater.

Perfect EXCEPT at the end: concept of God.
"Religion is a man made device that is culturally specific but there is no coincidence that the concept of the supernatural exists in all civilizations. "
Many civilizations have had plural gods or worship the sun as god or have no god figure at all... but.... MOST importantly the Crusades made religion into what you call "universal". Before that, check how the Aztec worshiped. It did not resemble anything like a singular "God".
your use of the word civilizations really is "modern civilizations"
Historical/long removed civilizations had completely unique interpretations on spirituality.
Civilization is moving into the POST supernatural era.

Define "God".
In reply to nick2020
impossible. only want you to acknowledge that "god", "gods" and "God" differ by your christian prism of "God the singular" as creator.
Very few civilizations had this concept ok. If anything, it is the plural that was more common in civilizations.
Had you said "gods" (plural in lowercase) you would have an airtight case. Using "God" is playing from a stacked deck, and reveals bias.

Forget about the singular or plural concept of God. The article is saying there is something there bigger than us.
In reply to deanjones
And it went bang.
My chat with Nick is to show that most civilizations had no concept of a singular god, only Christian civilizations.
A point that will not distance itself from the fact that any scientific material of a singular "god" is well... unscientific and patently biased

After reading the article 10 times, it is clear they are still in the theoretical aspect of discovery.

God = creating force.
Cultures put a face on God that makes it identifiable. Personal. We created God in our image.
But if one believes the entire universe was empty and everything came from a big bang then that big bang is God. See there is no argument that we were "brought into existence" i.e. created. The problem is once you use the C word people start to think religion.
