There's a great 'Proof of God' thread going over at Aximsite.com. The site is actually about PDAs (specifically the Dell Axim), but the Water Fountain area is sort of a free-for-all. There's some compelling stuff there. Just in case you don't want to read the whole thing, here's my post:
"Does anyone else find it interesting that every discovery we make in the universe seems to further point out the insignificance of man? As you know, Earth was thought to be the center of the universe at one time. Now, we know that we are a rather small planet in a solar system that may turn out to be rather ordinary.
I believe that, one day, we may discover that our notion of God changes from that of "being" to "force"; that is, a creation force that exists like gravity or a nuclear force. Just a thought."
I've already received a response or two, but the thread is pretty hot. Threads like this (on a techie website) make me realize that people of all stripes struggle with thoughts about God, theology and religion. At least I'm not alone.
In other news, General Wesley Clark has made a cool, hip, blog part of his campaign site. There's even spelling and grammatical errors included. Note to Clark: we know you're full of crap. Anyone impressed enough by the blog to vote for you deserves you in office. Sheesh.
Sad that,with some,it is a struggle. Perhaps that's why true faith brings peace. To question is not necessarily a sign of intelligence or choice but a form of rebellon. The God of creation is above our pety inquiries. This is not a shot at our insignificance but a exaltaltation of His omnipotence. For me faith is the only thing the continues or goes beyond mortal existance.
