[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] [i]Why does God (the creator of the universe) have to be a being, though? You mean being like something that is aware of itself and what it is doing (sentient)?[/i] Gut instinct on this one. I suppose it's POSSIBLE that we're not, but it seems far more likely that we're dealing with an intelligent being. [i]Morality most certainly is relative. Why is it okay to kill someone under one set of circumstances but not another?[/i] Because it's murder, which is wrong, under certain circumstances, but not under others. [i]How about, before inventing stories, we postulate that maybe the laws of physics on which you're basing your theory simply aren't complete.[/i] OK, so you're proposing that there are circumstances under which the amount of entropy in the universe can decrease, or under which matter can be created is mass quantities? OK, fair enough. Perhaps I should have said that physics AS WE UNDERSTAND IT requires a god. [i]After all, Newton's "laws" regarding gravity caused a few contradictions.[/i] Contradiction with observation, not contradiction with other universal law. [i]Perhaps part of the Universe we know, or perhaps, a Universe we DON'T know, that happens to have different physical laws, just spawns entropy-laden universes like ours as cosmic burps.[/i] Proposing existence outside our universe doesn't solve the problem. Where'd THAT universe come from? [i]I do not 'hate' any Creative Being.[/i] I stand corrected. Sorry for the confusion. [/QB][/QUOTE]
