No ...

Sure, water came up with all the information necessary to make a living organism. Then it coded that information into a DNA sequence. Simultaneously it fashioned a molecular machine to read the code and understand its instructions. Water also made absolutely sure that DNA would have a molecular machine to regularly be inspecting it, be aware of any mistakes and repair them, Water also assembled other molecular machines to carry out the DNA instructions delivered to them by the RNA molecular machine. Wow! Water sure is smart!

Because the Gods were not invisible in the Garden of Eden or when they hang out in heaven just above the clouds (you could even visit by building a tall tower or so I heard). Invisibility was more like a power that such deities could turn on/off when needed (perhaps there was a divine rule that whenever visiting the mortals they always had to turn on their invisibility?).

Back in the late 50's, as a child, I was given nitrous oxide by a dentist and became "high" on it. While my head was spinning, I looked up at the light and saw my reflection on the light and felt exactly like I was looking down onto myself. I have experienced the exact same effect on subsequent dental surgery when I received nitrous oxide. I have also noticed the same thing when being semi-conscious during other operations. I am highly convinced that many others who were semi conscious and immobilized but very curious about what was happening to their body, looked right up at a reflective surface overhead and saw what appeared to be themselves looking down. Many times, the light is near the reflective stainless steel surface, hence the experience of seeing a "light". That is what they see in a semi-conscious state and I believe that explains many of these stories.

Any belief re the cause of this universe is a religion and you've tagged yourself an "atheist" because you believe atheist ideas re the cause of this universe (nature: time/space/matter/energy. You also believe that evolution is the "controlling power" over life, instead of God. THAT is religion. Either you have a RATIONAL POSSIBLE world view or you don't. To be an atheist and have no factual basis for your cult, is to be content to be even more lost and clueless than yesterday. Why do you cling so desperately to an asinine atheist cult that's INFAMOUS the world over for having ZERO ANSWERS? Could you be more lost and clueless?

Religions in general, have a common character, which is that: to establish a correspondence between man and the invisible beings called Gods, Angels, Genii, &., or in other words, between beings, of man's own creation, in order to explain the phenomena of Nature. The object of this correspondence is, to interest these various beings in his fate, and to obtain assistance from them in his wants.

Try to shut me down. I dare you. God created Adam. Adam was righteous and God walked w/ him in the Garden. But then Adam sinned and sin = death and sin separates us from God. So God cursed Adam & all that he ruled over (creation) and that's why EVERYTHING started to decay (entropy) toward heat death. In order to save humanity, God sent his son to die for the sin of the world. Jesus did sacrifice himself and paid that sin debt, as he gave his life for humanity. So all we have to do to receive that gift is to give our life to him. All that means is to ask him to forgive us of our sin and make him Lord of our life. We simply put him first in our life. It doesn't mean we spend 24 hrs in prayer, fasting and in reading the Bible. It simply means to honor him and follow his teaching in the Bible. We go to church to learn about God and worship him in song, tithes & offerings. We spend some time with Jesus each day in prayer, even if it's only 15 minutes. We read the Bible. If you want to know more, ask me.

@@lenroddis5933 There is no proof of God for those that have a God bias. Jesus could appear at the foot of your bed tonight and you'll wake up the next day and tell yourself that it was a Vegas act or some bad pizza. You have to sincerely seek God to come to know & understand God and his ways. You can't sit on the couch with your beer and demand that God appear to you in your living room. It just doesn't happen that way. Let's face the facts, shall we? You're just another lost & clueless fool that thinks humanity came from star dust or something else equally ridiculous. But you have a 2nd chance. We already read the last page and it says "God wins." I don't know about you, but I'm going to fight and be an overcomer of Satan, the world and with God's help, the flesh. I'm not just going to barely cross the finish line; I'm going to cross the finish line doing warp 13 w/ my hair on fire. NOTHING is going to stop me from going to heaven. STOP wallowing in your lost & cluelessness. Get w/ the program. START TODAY NEW!! I would say that you fail to understand exactly who God is. He wants to be sought after. Why? Because he's worthy of our pursuit. His awesome greatness is beyond your comprehension. You're breathing air that doesn't belong to you. Taking up space that doesn't belong to you. Given a life that doesn't belong to you. He brought you from nothing and you're nothing, YET you feel totally justified to raise your tiny stupid fist at him. THAT is what you are; never mind him. That said, Jesus loves you dearly & has shown you this love by bringing you from non-existence & giving you “the gift of life.” And did you say “thank you?” No. He also removed your doom via the sin of Adam by the suffering on the cross for you. And did you say “thank you?” No. He’s also “prepared a place for you in Heaven” if you’ll only return his love that’s already given you. And did you say “thank you?” No. Again, it’s the “love” of Jesus for people is what attracts them to Christianity. Your move, Chief.

In Genesis it was Cain that begun to build a city. How did Cain know how to build a city? Did God invent the wheel for A&E and their descendants? It seems no technology was given to mankind from this God. God watches invisibly and that's all this God seems to be doing in the minds of the Theists.

The sin-sacrifice-resurrection story implies a superstitious God who values blood-sacrifice. Obviously the superstitious early folks, who valued blood sacrifice, created the God of the Bible in their own superstitious image.

[@diogeneslamp8004]

Yes! Blood sacrifice is atavistic behavior. Society has long since progressed beyond _lex talionis_ so we no longer need to exact like-for-like punishments. Depending on the transgression, you either lose a privilege or pay a fine. We also don’t visit the sins of the fathers on their sons. Everyone starts with a clean slate and succeeds or fails on their own merits. Blood sacrifice is a savage practice that has no place in a modern society.

How do we know that the people are actually dead when they had the experience. The expererince likely happens while a person is still alive. The fact that they are able to recount that experience leads me to think that they were not actually dead at the time. I also had a friend that had a scary near death experience. It actually changed his life. He said it was so scary that he assessed his propites and changed his life away from striving for money to what he realized what was really important, which was relationships and family. It seems that even though he had a negative experience it led to a positive result. It was quite a striking change.

It can affect your procioception at extreme levels, resulting in the sensation that your head/consciousness is located about 10 feet higher than it actually is (movement is not impaired, you just feel very tall and OBO-like). This state is orders of magnitude beyond typical however, and is literally unreachable for a regular user (most of whom have seriously never been to that level even if they have a crazy too-stoned story, it's really a very different thing before it even gets close to that. You have to pass a state that feels like you just started dreaming, or the kappa onset of Salvia, and then several more after).
