Do you believe in god, if not do you believe in something else?

I personally find the Summerian one the one that I don't like the least. There's no, If this then good if this then bad. It's all, you will be damned no matter what happens, live with it, sort of deal.

And yes, I've never considered myself an atheist, but neither have I ever considered myself anything close to religious either. I'm willing to accept what happens, if it happens, and I only believe what can be proven with our limited tools. Currently all our tools point to anything being able to affect our universe in any way, and to the fact humans are just collections of cells that symbiotically "evolved" together for better survival, no sould no nothing else.

Given this and the fact that I'm from a former soviet country and absolutely despise manipulation and blind faith, and you can see why I'm not so fond of religion at all as it stands. But we disagree on the blind faith in religion part so let's not start that up again. This thread turned a lot more philosophical than I thought it would have a day ago.

I don't know.  I'd argue that vacuum fluctuations point to our universe being effected by other dimensions or something we can't perceive... etc...

To me it seems more likely that things that things don't "pop up" out of nowhere so much as they cross a plane in which we can't see.

Much how 3D actions would be perceived by a 2D man.

 

To answer your question, Have you ever read Flatland or Sphereland? Absolutely great novels, in terms of sci-fi concepts. I read them back when I was a kid and I'm sure they had an impact on me and what I believe in.
