Religious convictions

IainKendrick said:Is there a universal intelligence?

Probably not. No evidence but cannot be ruled out

Is there a 'God' as per any human faith?

Don't be f'ing silly.



That's about it really.

If you look at the world around you, there is no way science can explain it all, or even get close.

That was the one question I hoped no one would ask.
Now this isn’t an exact way of explaining my belief in why God exists but if you think about it carefully then by George it adds new light to the way you may think (or not).
If you look at the simple relationship between a mother and child I’m sure you would describe that as the truest form of love (you’re a to**er if you try and make a funny joke). Now I’m a big believer in science, however, there is no way that science can explain this e.g. chemical release blah, blah, blah.
There has to be something bigger out there that allows us to feel as humans, whether that be with our kids, parents, siblings, friend and partners (I say partners because I’m sure some of you can’t come under the woman category). If you believe science can explain why you love your Mum or child or wife so much then kudos to you but I personally believe that it can’t.
I know the next question will be “how does that prove God exists”, but to be honest I’m not a theologian, the most religious person in the world, that intelligent or that well read. All I know is that I find solace in my belief in God and regardless of whether or not my prayers are answered or good or bad things happen to me, I’m no worse off by believing.

evolution is more mental then physical. so if one pushes at ones limitations throughout their life then surely their offspring will be more intelligent? same goes for physical strength, etc... intelligence separates us from animals, not specifically physical capabilities.
