It was once believed that a dragon god was trying to swallow the sun. What was actually happening was a eclipse. Those people did not understand something, so they explained it with God. All due respet, but the highlighted is doing the exact same thing. You can't come up with an explanation, because we simply don't have the capability or the knowledge to understand the beginnings of the universe. If we could understand it, the explanation would be natural, it would not be supernatural. Because every phenomenon in the history of man that was attributed to a God turned out to be a natural occurrence.
Imagine if you were observing a basketball game for the first time, but your field of vision was so small that all you could see was a little portion of the rim. You don't know anything about basketball. Every once in a while, a ball would suddenly appear. Wow, it must be God doing that. How else would this magic ball suddenly appear out of nowhere and then vanish again.
Our scientific knowledge is that view of the universe. It takes years of scientific research to expand that view even a little. It may take hundreds of thousands of years before we finally see the men on the court. God should not fill those gaps. Belief in that entity removes our curiosity. We stop asking questions, because God is the answer. Sorry, but God has never been the answer, and I have no reason to believe that God will ever be.
Jesus H. Christ, Concart.
When I say, "I see no reason to suspect that gods cannot exist…that the existence of a GOD or gods is impossible"...I am acknowledging that a GOD or gods...MAY EXIST.
Of course it is a possibility that at least one god exists.
I am simply acknowledging that I can see no reason to assert, "It is impossible for a god to exist."
When I say, "I see no reason to suspect that at least one GOD must exist...that the existence of at least one GOD is needed to explain existence"...I am acknowledging that no gods may exist.
Of course it is a possibility that no gods exist.
I am simply acknowledging that I see no reason to assert, "At least one god is necessary to explain existence."
What is your problem with understanding that?
