Replying to God you say? This thread is worth a look.

I think most of you are missing the real question here. God is mentioned-and the first thing you think about is a christian god, or a buddhist or islamic god or whatever. This is a distraction.

Forgetting religion and perceived notions about "god", the real question is

why do we exist? why does the universe exist? why is there something instead of nothing?

i mean shit, ask yourself this and tell me what you come up with. The very fact that we exist and the universe exists shows that there is an explanation for existence. the best explanation humans can come up with is god, or something approximating god. There must have been sentience that created everything. because without a sentience creating it all, there is no reason for the universe to exist. big bang: how can rocks come into existence by themselves? how can anything exist at all without a sentience behind it? without a sentience there would just as soon be nothing. why the hell is there something instead of nothing?

your first question to this might be, "well then who created god?" I would say that you're thinking too inside the box about the nature of its existence. This sentience is most likely not bound by time and lies behind the universe. However i think no human can begin to comprehend what it’s really like. Also this question does nothing to nullify the only plausible explanation of existence (if you know another plausible explanation post it up).

sidenote: I just thought of another explanation for existence, lol hear me out: we humans and all life (and maybe all matter) are all part of this greater sentience, of god and we (our "life force?" our "souls?") willed the universe into existence. However this seems a bit too simple. And there must be a scientific explanation for souls.

If you look at the grand timescale of things, sentient human beings have very very very recently evolved from animals. Therefore we still retain many animalistic characteristics. Examples of our animalistic characteristics are things such as the crusades, sexual relations especially, and a lot of the shit on mtv. Humans come from primates whose intelligence was completely social based- knowing who had what power, who was the alpha male, when to form allies or to defeat enemies so that you were in the best social standing to fuck the most or best females. Its always been about sex. If you look at the mtv show ‘rivals’ and ‘real life’ ( I think that’s what its called) or go to any high school party it’s the same shit that our monkey ancestors did millions of years ago. If you know what to look for you’ll be surprised how totally animalistic it is. Our animal traits have been a good thing, a very good thing, because they’re what continued evolution and made sure the best genes got passed on. Now however evolution is stagnant because every human can easily survive and we have populated the world over.

Our close nature to animals shows that we are also still very stupid. There is so much opportunity for our intelligence to improve. This is why with our current knowledge any attempt to explain god is pointless. Every single religion out there fails to factually explain the nature of god’s existence. They’re not even facing the shooting range. However I also do believe that religion does a very good job of explaining his existence spiritually- that there is something out there and you can believe in it. The details of each religion are what make them more profound and enjoyable.

Now I am going to get progressive extremist here so be warned:

Because there is so much room for humans to improve I think the next step in our existence is to leave the animalistic traits behind and take evolution into our own hands. I am talking about genetic engineering and conscious breeding. By conscious breeding I mean that we should start pairing up the reproductive juices of exceptional humans to make even more exceptional humans. Of course this should be done very selectively and everyone else should go about love as usual because as time has shown the regular method of courtship is very effective. Genetic engineering is self explanatory: manipulate genes so that humans are smarter and more adaptable to more situations and environments.

A side effect of this that is forseeable in the future is the splitting off of humans into a “high” race and a “low” race (smarter and dumber). The low race will most likely fuss about being getting less of the pie, but straight up that’s just evolution in progress. The same exact thing happened to the Neanderthals many years ago- they were ousted by a better species.

Anyway this would all be very good for us in the end because smarter humans will be able to understand the universe much much better and will most likely not fight among each othe and will greatly increase the chances of continued human survival- like populating other planets and shit.

Lolol I just went from why god exists to how humans will be able to continue to survive.

Anyway to connect it back up smarter and smarter humans will be closer to explaining why we exist and how everything came into existence and what god is. This is the most important thing that we can do.

TL:DR: it would be impossible to sum that shit up in one sentence so just read it buddy
