Title: does God exist???
Post by: MadeInAfrica on 12/07/2006 11:43:13

among other things, it believed that God created everything(including time and space). further more, it is believed that God is out there in space maybe. my problem with all this is that "how can he/she exist within his/her creation. the point then is that "at least by definition, God is non-existent. what's anything before the beginning of time. for God to exist it must be outside of space and before the beginning of time. im not sure if there's anyone who knows the dimensions of space - in which case i would give it a benefit of a doubt. therefore, God doesnt exist.

There's another thread entitled something like "does God exist"... I think it's under "That can't be true!"
Perhaps for consistency we could keep discussion on that thread otherwise it's all going to get a bit out of hand...

why would you be surprised? people across the globe talk about these things day in day out. and im sure that if this for was for God, you wouldnt be surprised at all, knowing that the view has been expressed else where. the important thing is "what do u think about it". im sure ur are unique in some way.

I think what Rosy was trying to gently say was that many people have already expressed opinions on the matter in other threads, and may find it tedious to repeat themselves again.

I am sure many people are more than willing to discuss the issue further if there is a new slant on it, but that depends upon knowing what went before.

All, I think Rosy was suggesting is that you read what is already there on the matter, and by all means, if then you believe there is a new insight beyond all of that that you might offer, we would be most pleased to discuss it.

Hi rosy, the new forum software allows us to merge topics so it should help with this.
