[Justin26870]

Let’s entertain the notion that God isn’t merely a manmade symbol we use to replace answers we aren’t yet evolved enough to fully comprehend, and say that the universe, and specifically, life, came about as a higher power’s creation. At the beginning of recorded history, man could hardly grasp agriculture, and the size and shape of the planet we inhabit was an issue open for debate. Half a century ago we learned how to actually turn lead into gold and transmogrify one form of matter into another, which formerly was one of God’s better tricks. Now we have developed a computer processor capable of rewiring itself on a molecular level, allowing it to learn (that is learn, NOT in quotes) how to do things. One only need to explore science fiction to see what astonishing but hardly unachievable accomplishments lie in man’s future: terraforming, time travel, etc. It’s not really a question of ‘if,’ but ‘when’ mankind will match and surpass ‘God’s’ achievements. When that time comes, what would ‘God’s’ signifigance be? I hope there is a God, so that when we finally roust him out from whatever hiding place he’s been keeping himself in, we can pat him on the head, thank him for all the help he’s been over the millenia, and make him shine our shoes. I think the most offensive part of the Bible is the part where God punishes man for eating from the ‘tree of knowlege.’ If there is evidence of God’s existence in the Bible, that’s it, because it exactly fits the m.o. of an oppressor, much like human dictators keep their subjects subserviant by forbidding the freedom of press or teaching of written language, and much like oppressors in the West use the Christian tenet of ‘turn the other cheek’ to get their subjects to mistake being led to slaughter for righteousness. Eve and Adam took that first subversive step for mankind, and we should be eternally grateful that they gave us the gift of sin (not that I believe in that crap).
