I hate to tell you this, but, Earth is worshipped in quite a few religions. I.E., Paganism.

Been watching one of those Startreck movies again, eh? I do believe if God did make life outside the Earth, he would have mentioned it in the Bible. Say, Gen. 1:18 "Then God created the Aliens without likeness of man, and placed them in other planets where darkness was. He breathed life to it, making it alive." v19 "He did not want Adam & Eve to know so he kept it a secret to thousand of thousands of generations."

At times I really start to question the human race & the concept of intelligence. Not to accept that there are possibilities outside one's inherent beliefs makes your mind closed therefore ignorant.\n\nPeople aren't meant to know everything. We aren't animals acting on instinct. If you believe anything at all you are closing your mind to possiblities in a world of uncertainties.

Amongst the zillions of other answers you'll get for this, I'll say that the problem is ALL humans. Yes, 6.5 billion people making the wrong choices the wrong way at the wrong time. Some very few actually listen to God and then do what He says and--wow--it works. But then they don't get any ego-stroking for it, so others don't repeat their demonstrated experiments. Instead, we see 6.5 billion humans, all screwing up the planet and the lives of others living on it.

as an atheist (former catholic) i think. and my thoughts lead me to the conclusion that they are all misled children who choose to believe in some sky-king instead of empirical evidence. their ignorance facilitates all of the social injustices you have listed and many others. their religions are just tools of social control. they are blinded by their righteous vanity and ignorance. people of sense and intelligence need to appeal to the children of these misled people in hopes of breaking this cycle of ignorance.

Understand that the Universe is not what you think it is.  Humans do not have the ability to understand the Universe.  Anything that you have been told about the Universe by another human is not Real.  You can believe whatever you wish to believe, but that does not make it Real.  Others may ridicule your beliefs but they do so out of their own ignorance.  If Divinity loves you, what does any of this matter?  Enjoy the mystery of life.  Let others wallow in their ignorance, you can not understand or change them.

Human nature. Also, atheists might enjoy talking about religion more, even if they don't beleive in any.

No, I know its hard for the ignorant people to believe because they are blinded by religious indoctrination, If there is any proof of an after life no one has seen it unless they were tripping out on acid or some other hallucinogen. People need to realize that there is nothing beyond our lives and we must do our best to better the human race instead of fighting wars in the name of "god". Because after this we only rot.

I agree and this is one of the most difficult issues that I have been struggling with lately.  Our ancestors of 2000 years ago did not have the science nor the technology to explain everyday events.  "Oh my gosh!  That glowing ball is back!  It must be a god!"  So, they named him Helios.  I'm just so confused as to why the Bible is still the end all, be all authority.  We've obviously made leaps and bounds in our understanding of the earth, our solar system, our galaxy and our universe.  Ugh!  I'm just so confused and find it VERY hard to follow with blind faith.

Wow:  Thanks for the info about the DNA.  For those readers that wondered how the world comes into being without God creating what He alone is able and willing, such info as the DNA, let alone the rest of the whole complex of Created mass and masterpieces, it rests on this issue.  You see, you think, and you understand.  OR you see, and refuse to see, you think and you refuse to think, and you refuse to understand.  Part of that matter of Free choice.  The simple fact is, what you choose to believe is also part of the gift you were given in Creation.  You believe or not, and amazing, it gives you a part in the rest of the community.  There are adequate numbers of unbelievers, that will all affirm your faithlessness, just as there are adequate numbers of believers who will affirm your believe in pagan cult, just as there are adequate numbers of believers in Islam, or Christianity or any other form religion.  Numbers however, doesnt affirm factuallity.  Flat world theorists believe it.  Round world hanging in space believe it.  Sun circling the earth believers affirm it, as do earth circling the sun believers affirm their bit of observation.  \n   Did Noach go searching for the animals?  No, the Text says, according to Moses, affirming that GOd instructed him to write, that God caused the animals to come to the ark.  Noachs job was to build it and stock it with grain and grass, as all the animals would eat vegetarian while aboard, including Noach and family.  Is that possible?  Depends on how you view and believe.  Impossible for those who refuse to believe that GOD was involved.  Possible for those that choose to believe in such miracle process or natural process.   It is all amazing, no matter what you believe.  If you believe God created, thats amazing.  From my point of view thats acceptable.  What would be more amazing is to try to figure out how all this world in all its complexity came into being without a Creator God, since it is obviously more complex than any human can contrive.  Heck,,,we cant even create a blade of grass from nothing, let alone a human eye..or the rest of a human being.\n   The story of the group of scientists who were all working on a grand assignment, to duplicate life...and one day they all agreed, they had done it.  Accomplished the grand impossible,  they had developed a life form in a petri dish.   Eureka they shouted...we did it.  We dont need GOD any more.   THEN GOD SAID :  Now, try it without anything:  No dirt, no fire, no water, no air and no petri dish.

I know there is a God. I didn't arrive at this conclusion by my intellect, for human intelligence is limited. Give up on trying to figure everything out, for common sense itself should tell you that you can't know or understand everything. This is not a matter of the head, but of the heart. Ask yourself this: "If God is the truth, do I really want to know the truth?" Our sinfulness makes us afraid of a holy and righteous God who we feel must demand an accounting of us His creatures. Atheists say they don't believe in God, but I don't believe in atheists. If they don't believe in God, then who are they so mad at? They claim wisdom and knowledge and call believers simple, but I see atheists as being extremely smallminded and limited. Did atoms and microbes not exist until some human came along who was smart enough to detect them? How small these people's reality must be! How futile and pointless their existence! I commend you for at least being openminded enough to ask? How foolish it is to think that one's ignorance is evidence! Thanks for not being that way, wisdom is not beyond the grasp of one such as yourself. There is a God; He is beyond human comprehension; He is absolutely holy, righteous, and frightfuly just. His awesome majesty and power is terrifying and he is completely unapproachable by vile, prideful humans. Remember I said that it is our innate sense of this reality that drives some to deny His existense out of fear of the truth. They can't face themselves and their guilt, and they can't face a righteously angry, holy, and just God whom they rightly think will demand retribution of them. What they don't understand is that this same God is also infinitely loving, kind, gracious and merciful, and that He paid the penalty for their sins and removed their guilt which was keeping them from Him. How? He gave us His only begotten Son Jesus Christ who took our sins and guilt upon his holy and innocent self and was put to death so that we may go free. Believe this, make claim to it as a FREE GIFT from God, confess it to Him and to others, then walk in peace from now on with Him, always trusting Jesus' sacrifice as your justification in God's eyes, not your own merit. Then keep on learning more of Him and growing spiritually.><>Sir Brian

It boils down to 2 things for me, how does one reconcile omnipotence, omnibenevolence and omniscience with this world and the life on it. And, why are there so many billions of people living in entire, huge countries whose culture has nothing remotely like the xian god and jesus. Here is a post I did before on the topic:\n\nBecause I look at what life was like for human beings for the past 40,000 years (maybe 6,000 for you). People lived for an average of 30-40 years. More than 50% of children died before age one (until about 100 years ago!). I look at thousands of children permanently blinded by parasites they get from playing in creeks in underdeveloped countries.\n\nThen I look at children of modern developed countries, of any religion. I see that they live until their EIGHTIES!! Have all their teeth for a very long time. Have excellent health, etc... And I see that this has nothing to do with religion or god. It is medicine and science. So was it god's plan that hundreds of generations of people would suffer and die in their 40's and suddenly in the 19th and 20th century, everything would get better?\n\nThat's nothing other than sadistic.\n\nI also look at all the different gods and interpretations of these gods for the past 4,000-5,000 years. I see how silly it is to point to one religion in the roman era and say "Ah, THIS is the correct one!"\n\nI also posted this in answer to that question:\n* The bible has many contradictions\n* The bible shows the OT god to be violent and bloodthirsty. He also kills thousands of children.\n* For thousands of years, man has had a lifespan of 30-40 years. 100 years ago in the US, 50% of children died before age 1. Modern medicine has greatly reduced this. During eras in western history when the catholic church was in charge and belief in god and church attendance was required, this did not change. So prayer seems not to have been the answer.\n* The history of religions and gods seems to show that man has no consistent image or view of what god is or does.\n* The bible is open enough to interpretation that if you walked into a church and asked 3 people questions about the bible or god's will, you would get probably 8 different answers.\n* People kill each other in god's name every day and he apparently does nothing to stop it.\n* 50% of conceptions do not result in birth\n* 1 in 8 pregnancies result in twins and one twin is eventually reabsorbed.\n* Children are born with no brains, with no limbs, retarded, blind.\n* Children go blind from parasites every day, children suffer asthma, and other diseases\n\nNotice I focus on CHILDREN, not adults so please don't tell me that millions of children are dying b/c god wants us to have free will. These children barely have free will yet and toddlers don't have it at all.

Dont you know religious people killed the huminds since they didnt wanna worship there pagan gods. I agree Science is the only solution for rational minds. However you cant change the minds of irrational people.

I find it hard to comment on this, because it is clever, well scripted and I suspect the questioner at some point had a belief in the Christian faith. I would agree with all your assertions, taking hombrage with the claim that you created earth. God is in all of us and are all of us. Ambiguous messages from organised religion are the bane of humanity.

I had a bus driver that laughed at the fact humans are animals. Biblically, she said that humans are superior and can not be classified as animals, I believe that is ridiculous, since there not much that is different in us from animals. Of course we are more intelligent, but that is only because we define what intelligence is. Jelly fish or lions probably think that they are superior, so that is also relative. Another point that people may consider is that we have "souls," but that is only based on certain religions. In Hinduism, every living entity has a soul, therefore according to Hinduism both humans and animals have souls. The term human can be used just as a classification of the type of organism in the animal kingdom.

Well in my opinion... If people don't understand something then it must be supernatural.  Believeing in God is easier than researching the evidence for natural causes.  Think about it 2000 years ago people were mystified to see the sun rise everyday, 1000 years ago solar eclipses were perplexing; are you really surprised that today people still can't comprehend our existance.  Where ever science can't 100% explain you'll have God.

Life and all its constituents have not been explored despite researches on the subject. God, consciousness and the creation are other subjects not yet fully explained since there is no sufficient research on these subject matters.
