The only God worth searching for, is the creator of the universe and life. Could your supreme soul create the universe and life?Wouldn't what some consider to be God be the same as your Supreme Soul?

I have to disagree with you. On the Western Left Hand Path, there is no external god, no creator of the universe (objective universe), science is proving this day by day. What is misunderstood as GOD is the mythos of a Supreme Being/Absolute/All but in reality this is each of our Greater Self/GodSelf/Psyche/Soul. Not One God but Many.The only God worth searching for, is the creator of the universe and life. Could your supreme soul create the universe and life?
The objective universe is being unfolded daily by science, life is the result of evolution by way of natural selection, and in our case (mankind) the guidance from our Greater Self.Could your supreme soul create the universe and life?"
That's right next door to saying the plurality of us here on this forum are not intelligent.As things stand, I consider that to be true.
They may want to count their possessions or even the number of beads on their necklace.How much math beyond counting by fingers does this person "need" (your words)?
The whole population might not die without electricity etc, but some would.Agreed...but none of that is *required* for survival, and even those conveniences such as sewer have alternates.
What makes you think they share your values?They may want to count their possessions or even the number of beads on their necklace.
They'd be better off in San Fran...they just poo on the sidewalk there.They poo in the bush, lol
It wouldn't work in London
The weak, probably. Not really any different than any other animal...and humans are "just another" animal, right?The whole population might not die without electricity etc, but some would.
Yeah, these folks were doing fine till they abandoned their wandering ways and started living in villages under leaders to ward of attackers who would steal their livestock or disposs them of their land holdings. It was a gradual process from a village with no defenses to village with defenses to cities with forts. So, they had to have armies, armies had to have armaments, supply logistics, traders, and so on. That is the story of what we term as civilization.Seems to me these folks (and all the others) are doing just fine without mathematics beyond the point of basic (fingers) counting. None of these folks NEED math to survive and thrive.
Sure, they were the rules of human society with some variations 'circumscision is necessary' or 'keep a tuft of hair at the back of your head' and not from this or that God. They could not have pronounced any other rule like 'covet your neighbors wife', 'steal or rob what your friend has', 'murder'. They did that, but kept it off from their books to appear holy.Yeppir...and somehow repeated messengers with remarkably similar messages keep popping up for tens of thousands of years....but it is all a mass delusion, everybody else is completely mad...or unintelligent.
Right. Are they not?.. and humans are "just another" animal, right?
I do not have any soul, super or ordinary. When I die, everything about me vanishes except my body which will perhaps go to cremation.Wouldn't what some consider to be God be the same as your Supreme Soul?
I don't think believing in things without evidence is intelligent.That's right next door to saying the plurality of us here on this forum are not intelligent.
I'm glad I moved away from London into the countryside, where I can to breathe.Maybe London is incompatible with human survival...
How did you come up with that..?Maybe London is incompatible with human survival...
If the universe and life came into existence purely by natural causes, where is the hard and testafiable evidence to back this up?I don't think believing in things without evidence is intelligent.
1. In modern metabolism, protein-based enzymes called reverse transcriptases can copy RNA to produce molecules of complementary DNA. Other enzymes can promote the production of DNA nucleotides (the building blocks of DNA molecules) from RNA nucleotides via challenging chemical reactions.If the universe and life came into existence purely by natural causes, where is the hard and testafiable evidence to back this up? (1)
Where is the evidence, to show how the matter and energy came into existence, to set off the Big Bang? (2)
It's not about values necessarily. It could be practical. It could be as simple as knowing how many you need if you would like to repair it. Or to make another one as a present for somebody.What makes you think they share your values?
The physically weak and ill and old. Many infants. Our population can thrive beyond bare survival with amenities. Some physically weak people can do wonders. Stephen Hawking would be an example as an extreme in both directions.The weak, probably. Not really any different than any other animal...and humans are "just another" animal, right?
Let's pick this apart. The belief is not intelligent or the person is not intelligent?I don't think believing in things without evidence is intelligent.
You are inserting your values on these peoples.Yeah, these folks were doing fine till they abandoned their wandering ways and started living in villages under leaders to ward of attackers who would steal their livestock or disposs (sic) them of their land holdings. It was a gradual process from a village with no defenses to village with defenses to cities with forts. So, they had to have armies, armies had to have armaments, supply logistics, traders, and so on. That is the story of what we term as civilization.
Your children are just animals to me.Right. Are they not?
