"Science is not only the only way to Truth - it's not the way to the most interesting Truths of all - and that which are concerned with meaning and significance of human beings. And yet we're told that Science is the only way to Truth, which is a very odd statement - because that statement 'Science is the only way to Truth' is not a statement of science.

You can be a person of deep personal Faith but not what anyone would call 'religious'. I have followed the Guidelines of Problacism for many years and consequently I have been given everything I could possibly ever need or want. I also don't suffer from any anxieties, fears or depression. Problacism does not require any prayer, churches, iconoclasm or worship. All it requires is that you lose all your ego and indiscriminately help everyone who is 'sent' to you without any expectation of recognition or reward. Trust in the Universe and be Relentless.

When the Catholic priest Georges Lemaître created the Big Bang theory, it followed that the Big Bang theory would be enmeshed with the idea that the universe was created by a god, as Stephen Hawking learned when he visited the pope. ... "In 1985, I attended a conference on cosmology at the Vatican in Rome. The gathering of scientists had an audience with Pope John Paul II. He told us that it was okay to study the workings of the universe, but we should not ask questions about its origin, for that was the work of God." Stephen Hawking

Can you explain why people tend to believe in atheism instead of God? Are you saying their reasoning is faulty? Absolutely but why do they still reject God, in the face of "logically, organized hypotheses" about evidence of God and His meaning? Are they "unintelligent?" So, Jesus was right on the cross, "They know not what they do!" So, if they know not what they do, how can a God, in the end times, judge us for not knowing what we do? Can you explain the logic of God's judgment on us? I don't understand this logic. To me, God will come to "love the living and the dead," not to judge us. This, I believe, with all my heart. So if I believe this, how much more would God believe this and do it? This is my logic.

MOREOVER technology arose in many previous civilizations but failed to become science because of belief that the universe and/or God was incomprehensible. Rational thought is predicated on the natural revelation that the purpose we perceive is real.

[@majmage]

Rational thought is about matching our beliefs to the evidence. So on the topic of god our lack of evidence means we should have no belief.

[@garymoffatt8292]

The objective of rational thoughts not to match beliefs but values. If you sit down in your office chair you are matching your belief to the evidence. If the chair collapses you are not going to stop believing in chairs, you need the chair, and mostly they work, so you just get another chair. Both the physical universe and biology could not exist without an initial state of information that had to come from outside time and space. A message requires a sender and a sender from outside time and space defines God. This is incontrovertible evidence. On the negative side, absence of God there is only the power ethic, and if you believe in that your whole existence is just waiting for something to come along and eat you. Even if you are a rabbit you need to believe you have value or you could not go on living.

[@majmage]

@@garymoffatt8292 You don't seem to understand matching beliefs to evidence. _All history isn't magically erased when the chair collapses._ Meaning that person still has evidence chairs work most of the time, justifying a belief they're reliable (at least unless he somehow got enough evidence of chairs breaking to outweigh the historic evidence). Are you saying you have to redefine god to believe in it? So everything at scale (asteroids, moons, planets, etc) happened due to a non-intelligent natural process, which means it's possible and maybe even likely our own universe was caused by a similar non-intelligent process (from outside our universe), _and you would call that non-intelligent process a "god"?_ (Seriously?) Or maybe Bob from Accounting simulates a universe on a computer and it happens to be ours, and you'd say _he's_ a god? (He's just a human. Yeah he's not composed of the time or matter of our universe, but so what?) Your last point suggests you don't value truth (more than you value hope). For example _when Gary tells you leprechauns exist and hide pots of gold, that's hopeful!_ You might find one. To stop believing in leprechauns is to lose that hope. So to you is that an argument to believe in leprechauns? That's _ridiculous._ Truth is what matters, not whether the idea is hopeful. (Because any idea, even falsehoods, can be designed to be hopeful. And if people get suckered into hopeful ideas regularly, then dishonest people will exploit that weakness in others -- as religion appears to do!)

EXPANDING UNIVERSE.MENTIONED IN HOLY QUR'AN 1500 YEARS AGO ALMIGHTY ALLAH THE MASTER CREATOR Who can claim 1350 years ago that the universe is expending? والسماء بنينها بايد و انا لموسعون o " And the heaven We built it with power, and indeed, We are the expander " (And We it is Who make the vast extent, thereof ) (Qur'an, 51:47) Until 1931, physicist Albert Einstein believed that the universe was static. An urban legend attributes this change of perspective to when American astronomer Edwin Hubble showed Einstein his observations of redshift in the light emitted by far away nebulae - today known as galaxies. After Hubble discovered that the universe was expanding, Einstein called the cosmological constant his "greatest blunder." At around the same time, larger telescopes were being built that were able to accurately measure the spectra, or the intensity of light as a function of wavelength, of faint objects. Almighty Allah is the Creator of the whole universe.He says: Should He not know what He created? And He is the Subtile, the Aware. The knowledge of scientists is very limited and insufficient to understand the universe! ! Recently NASA launched JWST. This telescope will see the beginning of the universe and how it evolved.
