What Will Be The Difference In Our Lives If We Dont Believe In God?

[Quint]

what will be the effect on a believer if there really is no God? it would be life-shattering

what will be the effect on a non-believer if there really is no God? wala

What will be the effect on a believer if there was a God?

What will the effect on a non-believer if there really is a God?

^^ one of my reasons kung bakit wala akong religion.

nilalagay ka sa box. lumiliit ang pananaw.

Well, as I have said, go beyond religion, and find out the truth for yourself sincerely. Don't just go with the flow...

that's biological. we're evolved to mate. if we werent evolved to mate our species would have died out long ago

feelings are chemicals in our bodies

love? oxytocin

So, is it randomness or design?

[Quint]

we're evolved to mate with our own species

there probably were species who mated with other species but they're no longer around today coz they didnt produce any offspring

Isn't it called bestiality? I think we know that there are some folks with crooked minds who experiment on this, and we still haven't seen a cross-breed come out of it, do we?

If the random theory is true, then it should be true for all things. But if it does not happen, then that busts the random theory, right? And if we the random theory is does not hold true, then we can safely conclude that the design theory holds it water unequivocally, right?

If its just pure oxytocin, then how do we explain long-term relationships?

Surely, if we use another theory i.e. the size of the scrotum, some scientist said that the bigger the scrotum, the more likely that species will have multiple partners (unfaithful). But among these species, man stands out as an seeming "aberration" able to commit to one partner for life even though he / she has the capacity to copulate with multiple partners. In conclusion, its not science, its more than that.

Its commitment. Its faithfulness.

Now, is there a scientific explanation for commitment and faithfulness that contradicts the claims of the "size of scrotum" theory?

Just ask the women on this forum what's a dealbreaker in a relationship, and most probably the top answer would be cheating. Is that random, or is that by design?

[Quint]

yep

unless we're able to continuously adapt

polar ice melt, sea level rise, ocean temperature rise, weather patterns change, climate change

too dry, too wet, low crop yield

7 billion humans + X number of livestock to feed

competition

war

survival of the fittest

But with the advent of technology, surely we will survive. We all know that there are people who are already living in extreme conditions. I think that only an end-time scenario of cosmic or nuclear proportions, or fire and brim stone can eliminate our species. But even then, I believe that it will be at an appointed time.

If things were so random, don't you think that there will be more asteroids hitting the earth? You ever wonder why they don't happen as often when the moon's surface is so littered with it?

[Quint]

It also means that if you believe God created "man", it means "man" is created in his current form we see today and has not and will not change through time.

Am I correct in how you would view it?

I am unsure what you mean by change. Is it physical change? Well, if this is what you're referring to, there is strong evidence against that. But his ways have been the same for as long as he has existed. The intelligence has improved, but it remains that the patterns of behavior nor character has changed much. There will always be good and bad people.

According to the Book of Genesis in the Bible:

GOD MADE ANIMALS BEFORE HE MADE MAN:

Genesis 1:25-27
And God made every Animal to their kind, and the Livestock to their kind and all the Creatures that move along the ground... And God said, Let us make man ... So God created man in his own image.

OR.........

GOD MADE ANIMALS AFTER HE MADE MAN

Genesis 2:18-19
And the Lord God said it is not good that man should be Alone; I will make a helper for him. And out of the ground the Lord God formed every Animal, and every fowl of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them.

ANO BA TALAGA???

IF Science was this confused, then we are in TROUBLE.

Here's the sequence...

He created the heavens and the earth
He created vegetation
He created animals
He created man (to be the steward of the earth)

When he created man, he saw that man needed a helper. So he created woman. He put Adam to sleep, and took a rib from him, and then created her, woman---flesh of his flesh, bone of his bone.

Hope this helps. If it does not answer your question, can you kindly specify the source of confusion please?

True, there are a huge number of Errors and Contradictions in the Bible.

Like a woman originating from a man's Rib, for instance, which contradicts Science.

100% Proof that you are BLIND and in DENIAL.

You actually believe that Woman came from a man's rib. DELUSIONAL.
