Do you believe in God?

Quantum mechanics and hawking radiation are still both considered theories, are they not? Not being sarcastic, seriously asking.

Yes, but a scientific theory is different than the colloquial use of the word theory:

What Is a Theory? A Scientific Definition | AMNH

In everyday use, it may mean a hunch, or a guess. Scientists understand the term quite differently.

Gravity is considered a theory, and will never be considered otherwise.

As @Joey D has pointed out, a scientific theory is not a 'guess', which is the way you were attempting to use it. Rather it's the combined knowledge, including all facts around a particularly subject.

As @Danoff has also said, gravity is a theory, but I'm assuming you wouldn't jump out of an aeroplane without a parachute.

God is not really "causing" anything though, it's simply just exploring itself.

"The universe is the mechanism for the one infinite creator to know and experience itself", if you had actually watched some of the Law of One videos, you would know that this is one of the first things that is mentioned.

"I know everything but must explore myself anyway, and I know what's gonna happen but I'm still gonna punish the ones who I know were gonna do it anyway instead of, idk, being helpful."

No.

Absolutely ****ing gone.

Science gives us theories. Over time those theories become more and more solid (or are completely quashed) and some theories are more solid than others - it is relatively safe to argue that evolution is on a stronger footing than gravity for example.

If you are looking for proofs then you need to pop over to mathematics as that's just about the only place they will be found.

That maybe depends on with whom you argue it.

So about God, he is almighty and he raised people from the dead. But strange how he could walk on water unless he used some kind of magic.

Was Jesus a eunuch?

I think he just tucked 'em in behind for less aerodynamic and hydrodynamic drag.

Yeah, strange that, it's almost like the entire schtick is made up BS.

Walking on water, is it?



Although, the "Chinese" sifu in this movie has aged pretty poorly these days...

Wasn't Chiun supposed to be Korean? I loved Joel Grey in that role.

Nothing can be worse than John Wayne as Genghis Khan.

Holy cow, you're right. All these years I thought he was supposed to be Chinese... Admittedly, I haven't seen the movie again in ages, so my memories are a bit fuzzy on this one.

"Chinese? The Korean is the most perfect creature ever to sanctify the earth with the imprint of his foot."

I need to watch it again.

Well we learned about it in school and church so the facts had to come from somewhere.

This is by no means to say that that which is learned in school or church is false, rather that that which is learned in school or church is not true because it was taught in school or church.

 

[Chris30]

Well maybe you have a point and who's to say that our parents and teachers taught us false information about God or anything.

 

[TexRex]

Well maybe you have a point and who's to say that our parents and teachers taught us false information about God or anything.

Who's to say what they taught you of God or anything is true?

If I'm to consider fantastical stories, I require considerable evidence. The more fantastical a story, the more evidence I require.

You may believe God to be infallible, but are people? Should what people say of God be unimpeachable because it's God of which/whom they're saying it?

 

[Ghost Lap]

Some food for thought.

Alternatively...

If that's what you're feeding your thoughts it's a wonder your brain doesn't die from malnourishment.

But really we don't know everything about God, but this fact will always be true, he is almighty and powerful!

That's not actually a fact, it's the belief you base your faith on, but that is quite different from a fact.

 

[Chris30]

Well thanks, didn't really see it from that point of view but everyone has their own belief and religion.
