I believe that a higher being does exist and that he wasn't the one who wrote the bible or the Koran. I don't follow anything of the religions but there is a higher being. I talk with a lot of physicists and such. The universe was created. Not in the way the religious people believe. But it was created for life. Whether you want to believe that or not. I see everywhere around me life. You know those storms, planets have. That is life to me. It's not dead. There is action going on. Whether there are complex beings or single cell organisms, i wouldn't know.
Back on topic. I agree with Jack Bensen. |
I think a person would have to be a fool (or VERY egocentric) to not believe that "higher powers" exist.
Afterall, our own world is filled with examples of heirarchy in various modalities, so it would make sense the universe would be too.
People do get confused though very easily; suddenly we go from a "higher power", which could be any number of anythings that haven't even necessarily played a role in building parts of the universe, to some weird almighty "God" figure, which has no evidence pointing to it whatsoever, but could improbably be a possibility.
Take humans for example; we directly build highways, which change nature. And we indirectly pollute the water with chemicals, which cause mutations in lifeforms. So an insect on land might assume we are Godlike because we've laid down some cement, but an insect in a pond wouldn't have any clue why he was just eaten by a two-headed one-eyed fish. And neither would we.
There are a lot of unanswered questions we're presented, just by being alive. Something our fundamentalist friends have forgotten or never known: it's important to keep a level head and keep SANE.
