Then where did the idea of God come from in the first place?


I answered that in the following post. It has been spawned by the ignorance of humans when the brain is constructed to work with a cause and effect structure of learning.

Yet you believe no one would believe in god if left on their own and no one was told of god.

That's uh, quite contradictory to say the least.

To be fair, his claim is that today the natural inclination would be to not assume a supernatural explanation, whereas an individual in a more primitive society would be much more inclined to create some higher being(s) in his mind to explain the many, many phenomena so far beyond his understanding.

(Not that all people of modern societies necessarily actually truly understand that much, but the worldly explanations are available.)


This is something i disagree about. Partly because people greatly underestimate the intellegence of past societies. Some had science in some fields that are equal to, or were possibly better then what we have today.

Partly because there are still no similar scientific answers for why things exist still today.

The best answer we have for the creation of the Universe is the Big Bang. Why did the Big Bang happen? It just did.

Well presumibly it hapened after a "big crunch" after the universe expanded as far as it could then contracted on itself. However, what caused that... another big bang... followed by another big crunch.

It's a bit of an endless cycle that doesn't exlain how things came to be in a cycle to begin with and instead proports that things have been like this for Infinity. Though not Infinity as we know it since time is realitve but "True Infinity" of "True Time" in which we arn't even able to properly appreciate since we don't live outside of the universe.

Not that a human being can even properly appreciate Infinity anwyay. The time existing forever after now is the easy part. The hard part is that time existed infinitly before this moment. In other words their is an infinite amount of time before this point in the Big Bang/Big Crunch theory.

Which makes you wonder how we ever got here if there was Infinite Time before here. Unless time isn't linear but only appears linier, but this is a whole nother discussion. Which ironically is one that can be used to explain how someone would know the future and how his actions would effect it the minute he did such.

Most people, nearly everyone seems to hate the non linear time theory.  I can see why.  It's tough to believe that when i'm typing this workd.  I am also tying this word.  But that's because people are well... people, and not super genius better then everbody knows more then everbody... well gods.

In other words. The more you think about what lies just out of the edge the more you realize people don't know anything. I think most people would still assume a god at play even if your theory was that belief in God was some primiative belief from the past.

As we still are primitative. Extremely primative, and there are some things that truely are likely beyond are comprehension and always will be.

Heck, even science doesn't work like we expect half the time. We think Physics are an absolute, but then we find out that at some level even the laws of physics break down.
