About God

I love God, at least the concept of God. Something that can judge us, and perhaps save us from evil. A wonderful concept. Father Joe at my Catholic church defined God as something we can not possibly understand. This is the definition I'll use for God if you need one.

I don't believe a God as defined in the bibles exist. These bibles where written by people. Even though I don't believe it, I wish it were true, for reasons stated in the previous paragraph.

I see people debating frequently if God exists. What I notice of interest in this debate is something different than what you might see. What I see is that people with fear tend to believe in God, and people without fear tend not to believe in God. This fear I believe is mostly inherited from your parents genes. Also the more fear you have the more you believe in God and the more familiar you are with the bible.

People with fear for the most part are intelligent. They have to ask themselves why do I fear? One answer they can come up with is God. They feel God and therefore God exists. In case you haven't noticed, people with fear are generally more successful then people that don't. They study, they learn, they work, they prepare, because they fear. Fear is a powerful motivator. People without fear tend to take a nap. (ha ha)

My personal perspective for evidence of God:
  1. Science can not explain existence. Something has to come from something and science can not explain how the first thing came into existence. No credible theories for spontaneous creation. Any theory would violate the law of conservation of matter and energy.
Non evidence for God's existence:
  1. The successful survival instinct we call fear. We justify our paranoia by telling ourselves we feel God.
  2. The, or a, bible. Created by men who fear.

Unlike God, science is based on testable and measurable evidence. Not all science is this way, but for the most part it is. Because it is based on fundamental truths that we can measure, test, and other strongest of evidence, we should prioritize science over religion. Prioritize evolution over what the bible says literally. Science does not teach us morals and religion does. For that we need religion or follow the golden rule.

Max Planck's evidence of God lies in Quantum Theory, which he received the the Nobel Peace Prize for Physics. “All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force... We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent Mind. This Mind is the matrix of all matter.” Max Planck stated is as proof of God in his acceptance speech for the Nobel Prize.
