what do you believe

[turkster]

also that thing about the universe crushing itself or it freeze is interesting, i reckon humanity and all other races in the universe...i mean there has to be someoe else dont there? i reckon they will find a way to stop it i mean they will probably think of something more powerful than the big bang surely?

Well we may have the technology to get off this planet in 500 years time but will we all want too? Taking all the the earths population away from mearth would probably be a major and time consuming operation unless it was 100% necessary.

I dont know if humans will find a way to stop the universe dying. They would have to evolve into something so much more powerful than we are now to have any control over something so massive asthe universe. There is of course the possibility that we might evolve into a "supernatural" exisance just mind not matter. As Galant says the "supernatural" and God probably exists independant of matter so the detructioon of the universe may not have any adverse effects on "supernatural" beings.

We'll evolve into a world of McDonald's gorging, Busted-worshipping, George Bush like warmongers who care more about the next edition of Heat magazine than the end of the Universe.

We'll also invent a new, more trust worthy form of sexual intercourse. I mean, thanks to the internet, millions of sperm are, as we speak, wasted. Drooling over some...ahem...pictures...semen is being rocketed into places that are impossible to impregnate.

Just to get the thread a bit more on topic...

When you talk of physical and spirtual "realms" so to speak the Bible does talk about it in a way. This place earth, time, space, galaxy universe etc. will pass away and heaven will be what is left.

Assuming this "realm" and heaven exist independantly and at the moment they both exist at the same time (although time is a constriant of this particular "realm"). If (or as I believe - when) this "realm" ceases to exist there will only be heaven which is outside of the physical and time constraints we know and adhere to. Not saying you have to believe it but just adding a Biblical side to the mix.

Could really give yourself a headache thinking about it all becuase it really is the ultimate in "thinking outside the box"!

Thats what I think HK is. A dense testbed of mutants and aliens.

imho religion is for the weak. the notion that there is a "god" is totally unfathomable to me.

[TeePee]

Several people have said 'religion is for the weak' or similar. Would you agree therefore that people who take holy orders, Monks (Buddhist, franciscan or whatever), or the equivalent with other religions, are weak people?

While I can see religion is irrelevant to most people's lives, including mine, and people who use religion to prop up their lives could be considered weak, I don't think these groups can be dismissed so easily, not because of what they believe, but because of their dedication. It doesn't make me believe, but they deserve respect.

And lo, the universe was made one Sunday out of Lego and plastercine
And verily it was good
And then the slippered foot of the lord our Dad came down
And there was darkness
And all that was good was in calimity
And we did pray to the Lord God for Ice Cream to make it all better
And we did pray for Tonka cars which the foot of the lord our Dad could not touch
And it was so
And verily it was good

I would have played Devil's advocate to Galant, but as there are so many, I won't.

I believe it happened as the Bible states.
