How Can there Not Be a Higher Power?
Q. I dont want to be told how stupid i am for stating my beliefs but i see that it is kind of impossible for there not to be a higher power. How do you explain before the bing bang and where time/space started. You cant just say it just happened someone or something had to start it thus a higher power. I'm a opened minded person looking for other peoples views so agree or disagree and what are your reasons?

A. Well to say there isn't a higher power is ridiculous. There's obviously something in this earth that creates life (be that amazing ones like breakdancers, pointless ones like duck billed platypus, or evil ones like cancer) and it's clearly working. Life happens, death happens. That's a force, a mindless one, but a force nonetheless. Whereas god is a man with a beard that creates earths before working out they'll need a sun

What is the proof that a higher power is god?
Q. The Christian God did not create evolution. He made animals separate from humans and never connected them. Evolution is true; otherwise we would not have bones of dinosaurs. The way the world is and how perfect it works must mean that we have a higher power that helps us work it, right? Than where is the proof that this 'higher power' must be a 'god?'

Asked by soon - Tue Oct 7 18:09:35 2008 - Religion & Spirituality - 11 Answers - Comments

A. I am a spiritual person, and I do not believe in gods. I believe spirituality comes from a deep connection to nature and to other people. Your life is not automatically spiritual and enriched if you believe in God (I should know, I was a Christian for many years). However, if you've ever been in love, been struck speechless by the beauty of natural scenery, formed a deep friendship, or participated in charity work...you'll know exactly what I mean. These feelings are beyond the normal everyday emotions.

Many people need the comfort and security of a belief in invisible space duds. We courageous realists do not need superstitious nonsense to keep us safe and warm at night. ~ Why can't Christians be honest? Why can t they just say: "I know my beliefs are illogical, but I've been brainwashed into believing these things my entire life." OR "I am too weak to live in this world, without the hope that there is someone watching over me, and I need to believe in an afterlife". OR "I am too scared to even consider the possibility that there is no God, for fear of being punished by him". OR &q [cont.]

A. I would recommend getting a Childrens Bible or Children's Bible story book. When kids are young they don't really understand the spirituality aspect of religion. I think the Children's Bible's or Bible story books mainly introduce the main Bible stories to children and concentrate more on teaching morals and what's right and wrong. My mother always read Bible story books to us and some of the stories actually weren't biblical stories...they were more like real life situations that a kid was in and they had to make a good or bad choice. I loved them because when I was really young it was a story so I listened. What I didn't know was that I was learning life lessons from the stories.

Those of you who don't accept the existence of a higher power, would you be okay with a mediocre power?
Q. Okay good, Leviticus 14 might interest you. What? Yes the whole chapter. Among other things this power, calling himself God, told the people to sprinkle bird blood seven times around the house. The purpose being to rid the house of a pernicious plague, that had resisted other methods of eviction. Then read the rest of the chapter. So my question is this, if you don't accept the existence of a higher power, would a mediocre power interest you perhaps? .

A. A Harvard Law professor, Dr. Simon Greenleaf, set out to prove that the resurrection of God's Son Jesus Christ is a myth. He carefully examined the historical evidence and reached the opposite conclusion! He found that, in the jurisdiction of legal evidence, Jesus's resurrection is the best supported event in history and then accepted Jesus as his Savior! Jesus's resurrection is the most wonderful blessing ever. What does this resurrection mean for you? The fact that He died and rose again means that if you accept Him as your Savior, you will be forgiven for all your sins and have eternal life in heaven.
