Well to take eternity, it means for ever, so matter was here a million years ago, a million trillion years ago and will be here the same in the future.

But everything comes from somewhere so where did matter come from?

Chelsea, cost us a then record £37.1m. Like many transfers of ours in recent years, he's not been worth it.

I do not consider myself religious. Was brought up in the Catholic Church but have a variety of views completely at odds with the church.

I do believe in a higher power but not as described in religious text.

Basically I believe we were created by higher life forms (like the Engineers from Prometheus) and are in a scientific experiment.

They will return at some point to exterminate us.

Where did the singularity come from? Everything comes from somewhere. Thats the human stance and in line with our science. Anything that exists without an origin is basically magical, not scientific.

If you accept that matter can just exist and you don't need a reason then why not apply the same rationale to God? and believers don't need a reason too. They don't need to prove his existence just like you don't need to demonstrate the origin of matter. If one thing (matter) can just exist then anything else conceivable can also just exist, no?

No, religion doesn't make the world a better place. Religion is just a tool for weak minded people to feel they have a meaning or belong to something.

Living in the states I have seen just how pathetic religion is and the evangelical brigade are by far the most pathetic collective you can imagine and even more ridiculous, they actually have a lot of power politically.

Seriously, how can fantasies and fairy tales be a basis for running a country

I don't believe in any form of God, because it's an complete and utter fvcking nonsense, but lets not pretend is doesn't bring some good to the world because it really, really does in numerous ways that are not documented.

Here we go where did the sigularity come from. I knew that was the next question..
Humans didnt exist before our conception but we didnt come from nothing ie egg and sperm.. its the same with everything.. atoms make matter planets suns and so on..
The sigularity was the beginning of the universe. Its began it doesnt mean it began from nothing.there was a sigularity.
There is no absolute beginning its just a change in state from one form to another..
Thats why i say there is no absolute nothing. otherwise there would be nothing

Thats where they live, not where they came from. What is their origin? Or did they just exist like matter and we don't need a reason for their existence? If you can beleive that higher life forms exist, then you may as well believe there's a God. Ultimately, there's no difference between these two beliefs.

It's like the morris dancing, reality TV or the monarchy to me, an irrelevance I don't get involved in.

That's not to say I don't appreciate the enormous impact it has on societies worldwide, and that can be an interesting subject, but on a personal level, meh

Many people need something to believe in, but if that's some all seeing end of level boss based on no evidence whatsover I'll pass.

Has for people believing in god. there is an answer to that..you just need to go back through the records of different beliefs and seee how they evolved over time from one to another.. these gods have a set of identities. which then the follower takes on board.. its just mental programming.

You sound like you're talking about God there. I mean "he who was, is and always will be".

You accept that concept when talking about matter but not when talking about a higher life form called God.

If matter can just exist without having an origin then why not a God?

Are these gods sort of pan dimensional beings with a basis in as yet undiscovered science, like something Iain M Banks would write about?

Now I'm interested.

Utter crap i never in the slightest mentioned a god again its YOU..you cant get away from the facts there is no ultimate to the existence of life and everything in it..There needs to be so it gives you a warm fuzzy feeling that all this is for some reason.

When in reality, there is no ultimate reason. from a"greater being".

I'll catch flack for this, but I think Religion is the one of the oldest cons man ever invented. Without the promise of "Paradise or Heaven" people would not obey laws, and there would be no order - only chaos. Religion is the only thing that can control the masses, but sadly- it's responsible for more violence than anything else. I'm not certain that we'd be better off without religion, because there might be general chaos and anarchy, but I find it incredible how intelligent people become so very gullible after they've read a bit of verse. I think it's just a bunch of horsecrap. It's sad not to have a belief, but if someone could prove the existence of "God" - I'd be all in.
