       I was an agnostic till two weeks ago. I have never become an atheist because i have a very skeptic nature. I thought atheism as a belief. Because you can´t decide about anything you don´t have proof. You can only say i don´t have any proof.I have always believed if there is a god this god must be different from what holly books tell. Because when i read holly books i realized the God they tell is like a human. I couldn´t accept such a god. But when i read sufis´ works i saw they tell same God very differently. I thought they were comforting themselves. I always liked sufis but i never believed them.

 

     I was having a great joy when i was reading atheist authors books. Everything they say was absolutely true for me. All of my favorite authors were atheist or agnostic. Nietzsche, Sartre, Camus, Sade, Cioran, Caraco and the others. I liked them because they were criticizing human God who is told in the holly books. But i kept reading books about God. Two weeks ago i read a book which tells prophet´s lives. The author´s approach to god was very different. He was telling all the holy books have a heavy symbolism and God is not like a human. I found new books about this matter. And one of these books convinced me fully. And i started to read holly books from a different perspective. And this time they seemed me very meaningful.

 

     As you see i was an agnostic like some of you. But my skeptic nature always forced me to learn more. I have still this nature. And i keep learning new things. I advice you the same. Don´t be prejudiced, be open to new and different ideas. Always read the two side´s books about a matter and then decide.

Quoting Daydreamer

Gokum, you obviously didn´t understand my point and just repeated your earlier post. I´ll try to break it down for you..

You´re saying:

If something cannot be explained by science, it proves that god exists

I´m saying:

If something cannot be explained by science, it means we don´t have enough knowledge YET. It may be explained in 20 years

 

Alameda

The concept of deity seems more amusing and childish than your dislike for science. You want to hold it against it that it makes mistakes. Aren´t mistakes inevitable part of learning? Once again, we´re a young species and we´re learning fast. We make mistakes along the way but that´s normal. A child´s view of the world differs from an adult´s one. Things that used to be magical are magical no more - that´s because we learn, think and experience. It´s the same with science. One breakthrough enables other ones.

What you call a sense, a human need to have god is nothing but a need to feel safe. And feeling safe is easier when you explain things you don´t understand. Primitive tribesmen called thunders gods. Today we know that it´s not like this. Still, many phenomena are left unexplained, so, people go for the easy "god" explanation.

And, of course, there´s this sociological aspect of religion, unity with a group, family tradition etc

 

 I am saying if you need a creator factor to explain a scientific event it means god is proved. This is very different from what you say. Because in my situation science would say that some phenomenons can be explained by a creator factor so these phenomenons are not incomprehensible from now on. It would say we can understand these phenomenons if we include creator factor into our calculations. So when a creator factor makes some phenomenon understandable for us, we can say god is proved. As you know there are a priori principles in science.  Scientists accept these a priori principle without proving them. Because these a priori principles are needed to make some calculations. Science need a logical base to form its theories. For example science accept universe has always existed. This is a logical inference. But science can not prove it with solid evidence. Maybe it is right maybe wrong but science needs this a priori principle. Some day maybe god´s existence will be an a priori principle for science. You can´t know this. You have to wait and see.

Quoting IZMIR060406

Mum,

Please help.

Could you please talk to Recep when he comes to see you in November.

I am not happy being married to him anymore and really need you to speak to him

He is not a good husband.  He is very selfish.  He doesn´t help at all with our baby too.  This is my last try at saving our marriage because I don´t think I can live with him anymore.

I wish I could speak to you myself but I had to get this message translated.

Please don´t say anything to him now.  All I ask is for you or Dad to speak to him when he comes in November.

 

Love you very much

 

 

 Anne

Lütfen yardım et.

Seni Kasım´da görmeye geldiğinde lütfen Recep´le konuşur musun?

Artık onunla evli olmaktan mutlu değilim ve senin onunla konuşmana ihtiyacım var.

O iyi bir koca değil. Çok bencil. Bebeğimizle ilgili de hiç yardımcı olmuyor. Bu benim evliliğimizi kurtarmak için son denemem çünkü artık onunla birlikte yaşayabileceğimi sanmıyorum.

Keşke seninle kendi başıma konuşabilsem ama bu mesajı tercüme ettirmek zorundaydım.

Lütfen ona şimdilik bir şey söyleme. Tek istediğim senin veya babanın Kasım´da geldiğinde onunla konuşması.

 

Sizi çok seviyorum.

 I read many books of Ibn Arabi and other sufis. You say there is a contradiction. But there is not. You don´t need to find or show god to prove it. If you need a creator factor when you want to explain some scientific events it means you proved there is a god. I said there is nothing except god. Whole universe is a part of god. But god is more than that. We can´t understand it fully because our brains function according to time and space concepts. God is above time and space.Nobody can define fully what is god. But this doesn´t mean you can´t prove it´s existence.And i believe science will prove it.

Quoting Daydreamer

 

How can you not see that it´s illogical to assume so? For this theory to be true, we´d have to come to the point where science does not further develop, where everything have been learnt and everything have been discovered. Only then would it be possible to say that solely creationism can explain the universe. And this is impossible. Science will never reach the level where no further research will be possible. If today´s sicentists cannot prove something, it doesn´t mean they won´t be able to do it in 20, 50, 100 years´ time.

Do you realise how long people believed that the Earth is flat? Ha! There still is a group that believes it!

It might be hard for you to imagine that our existence in this world is nothing in terms of time, we´re a new species, still crawling and learning about this planet. It´s naive to assume we´ve got nothing more to learn.

 Until that day, we will grow old...... and many millennia later (if earth exists that long and we have not destroyed it) the same questions will still be asked.  So until then........ {#emotions_dlg.whistle}

 

 Don´t be so pessimist.Trust science.

God can be proved when some scientific researches need a creator to explain some scientific events. No human mind can understand god or find it in universe in a space or time. Because i believe there is nothing except god. We are parts of it but we are not it. This is hard for us to understand fully.
