I have a little saying, (call it Mary's conundrum): There is as much proof that disproves a supreme being's existence as there is to prove it.
That being said, isnÂ’t this debate a waste of time? IF there is a god, that is one thing. Then what religion is the true religion? And how could you tell the false ones from the true ones? Or, on the other hand, there isnÂ’t a God and we are just wasting our time Â…
With all the pain and suffering in the world, either god is a real jerk or life is just random happenstance. With all the evidence given, who can tell the difference?
I've seen no evidence to disprove a spiritual being's existence. Every time I have requested it, I've been told you can't prove a negative. There also seems to be no question on part of those who accept spiritual evidence, that spiritual nature does exist, and the evidence is overwhelming. Those who do not accept spiritual evidence have successfully made the point, a physical realization of spiritual things is not happening.
This debate is indeed a colossal waste of time for those who do not accept spiritual evidence, and I can't rationalize why so many of them would waste so much time, attempting to answer it. Well, actually, I can rationalize why... they are anti-religious people, who have a somewhat personal vendetta against religion and religious believers. This is why your conundrum suddenly evolves into a question of religious philosophy, instead of remaining focused on human spirituality.
Spiritual nature created the physical universe and all life in it,
[because I say so- ed]. This is an intelligent force,
[because I say so- ed], which designed and created the physical universe,
[because I say so- ed]. including all the physical science and physics that accompany it.
[because I say so- ed]. Humans have the capacity to acknowledge this force,
[because I say so- ed]. and to connect with it,
[because I say so- ed]. and this attribute has always been a part of who and what we are as humans.
[because I say so- ed]. Religions are byproducts of this spiritual connection,
[because I say so- ed]. along with the fears of mortality and questions of immortality.
[because I say so- ed]. They are creations of man,
[because I say so- ed]. in order to explain this very real spiritual connection humans are able to make with spiritual nature.
