Not really .. faith is always open to all.

It is if you "put your head in it", and ignore anything else. :)

That is not the only evidence .. we have evidence from Judaism and Christianity also. ..and that is only to start with.. :)

That is not an answer as to "why" .. it is a non-answer.

..but it's not a "common sense conclusion". It is not based on evidence .. it's no more than an assumption. There are plenty of other explanations, so I have no reason to believe it.

Governments often try to cover up their inadequacies. There could be many reasons for that, and not the result of one politically motivated conspiracy theory. "Without evidence, some people have claimed the virus is a bioweapon accidentally or deliberately leaked from a laboratory, a population...

In August 2024 the Lancet Microbe published an editorial saying it is "simply wrong" to assert that SARS-CoV-2 is of unnatural origin, and ascribed continued interest in the unnatural origin idea to irresponsible journalism and political motivation. The editorial expressed concern that the...

Mmmm .. and Trump told us that drinking bleach would cure it, a few years ago. 😑 Naturally, he later claimed that he was being sarcastic. Almighty God knows best exactly what happened .. one shouldn't jump to conclusions. I do believe that China holds responsibility for the pandemic, but other...

..and that needs interpretation. It is dependent on measurement .. and I know that it has to be a theoretical measurement.. ..because nobody has a "tape-measure" long enough to measure that. :D

Yes .. the "stuff" of the universe.. Our disagreement is about the properties of that "stuff". You assume it is entirely physical, which conflicts with major schools of Hindu philosophy.

Yes, I used a simile .. natural law, if you will.

In Hinduism, Brahman (Sanskrit: ब्रह्मन्; IAST: Brahman) connotes the highest universal principle, the Ultimate Reality of the universe. ... In major schools of Hindu philosophy, it is the non-physical, efficient, formal and final cause of all that exists. It is the pervasive, infinite, eternal...

Mmm .. I'm not keen on this sort of thing, either. Similarly, I'm not keen on genetically modified farming. 😐

I don't think that most "Eastern religions" hold this view. Please observe the particular forum boundaries, in general. :) You are welcome to your assumptions .. but most people with spiritual awareness do not share them.

What has that got to do with "Eastern religion" ? ..nothing, that I can see..

Would I be "playing God" if I moved this out of the Christianity forums? ;) ..just so other members could discuss it without fear of penalty.

I'm sure you can come up with numerous other physical manifestations. :) ..but they are not the issue here .. the issue is of "non-physical", physically unobservable ones. Sure, you can assume there is none but physical material .. but you cannot verify that. Neither, in my opinion, is it...

Right .. we are in a discussion forum. ..but some people don't discuss, and have nothing to add except criticism. ;)

It's your loss .. that which is responsible for existence is not in need of your acceptance.

I wouldn't say so.. Our sins do not affect G-d, yet they have consequences for us. ..just like if you jump off a tall building, there are consequences. In other words, it is a bit like a loving parent, who watches their child do silly things. An unforgivable sin, is unforgiveable due to its...
