My computer proves God’s existence!

[blueinindiana]

My computer is too complex for me to understand therefore it must have been the work of God.

[PassingFair]

1. Ahhhh!

The old "Blind I.T. Guy" Theory!

[The Straight Story]

2. Did it evolve by itself? I am not sure I grasp it all!

:rofl:

[blueinindiana]

3. Sort of...

I had an Atari 600 Xl, then Commmodore 64, then Compaq, then Dell now I am Mac only :)

[jgraz]

10. I worked on Mac OS X, does that make me God?

If so, y'all need to pray louder -- I can't hear you.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

4. But if it runs Windows, it cannot be.

Because intelligent design is clearly wrong in that case.

6. Dang! Ya beat me to it! nt

5. The new science: "Then a miracle occurs..."

[kiahzero]

8. I've gotten credit for writing that on exams.

I worked forward from the givens to where I couldn't figure out where to go, then worked backwards from where I was headed until I couldn't figure out where to go, then wrote "A Miracle Happens" as the intermediary step.

I think I got 8/10 on that problem.

7. And on the seventh day, god re-booted. n/t

9. I thought that the screen saver was launched on the 7th day. n/t

11. But the key is

somebody did create the computer.

[opiate69]

12. OK.. then, supposing "God" created the universe, who created Him?

[varkam]

14. Don't you know that God is eternal?

God needs no beginning and no end. But the universe does. Because I said so.

15. D'oh!

16. I'll be the first to admit that I do not understand eternity;

however, I do somewhat understand love. Despite all the horrible things people do in the name of God and Jesus, I still see the power of absolute love God has for the world. I know my faith in God reaches into the depths of my very being and yet it is based on reason (starting with the thesis, God is love and love never fails). We, as human beings, can prove nothing about how we got here. Even the best science is based on assumptions. And, science can never fill the need for love found deep within the human heart.

By the way, since our time is a function of the motion of the earth around the sun, there is no time in the universe--out there could well be eternity.

18. I don't see how love has anything to do with

the issue of infinite regress. But you mention god's love, and all the horrible things that people do. For you, perhaps, that simply strengthens your faith. For me, it's one of the reasons I have a hard time swallowing it. Some people get strength from believing in the absurd simply because it is absurd. I was never really one of those people.

You also mention that even the best science is based on assumptions. For the sake of argument, I'll give you that. Then answer me this - what is religion based on?

Lastly, there is no such thing as "our" time. There is only time, but there are many ways of calculating it. Stars outside of our galaxy still move and, thus, time is still present.

[believerinchrist]

19. I don't let what other people do keep me from finding the answers to my questions.

And, there is nothing absurd about my faith. I have been in some hard circumstances where the only "thing" I had was my faith. I could not rely on other people at all--all I had was God. Believe me, I found both the strength and the understanding in my walk with God to deal with those circumstances and to maintain my love for the human race. No one can take that away from me.

Yes, religion is based on assumption--I'm sorry I didn't make that clear. Isn't it funny that we have two competing belief systems--religion and science--based on assumptions that cannot be proved? There is no way to know for sure how the world has become what it is.

What we call time is still just a measurement of the movement of our earth around the sun and moon. If the earth stopped that movement, there would be no time. Any measurement that we make outside our earth's orbit is strictly measured by our earth's rotation and orbit. Even if other stars outside our galaxy are moving, our concept of time concerning them is still based on the simple movement of our earth. I think our universe and any other universes out there are in eternity.

20. Either you are intentionally equivocating

Or you do not understand both science and time.

I have been through hard circumstances as well, but that fact does not make anything that I believed about a metaphysical realm any more or less true. For example, the hard circumstances that I have been through have been completely without any belief in any sort of a god - so does that mean god doesn't exist? It's just the flip side of that argument.

Science is not based on assumptions that cannot be proven. For example, science has shown that internal combustion engines can propel vehicles. Science has shown that SSRI medications work to increases the levels of serotonin in one's nervous system and thereby make them feel less depressed. Science has shown that black holes are a reality. These are things that are demonstrably true. Science has proven, despite your claims, many many many useful things and, moreover, has many many many more things left to prove. If you would, please, name just one thing that religion has proven.

Time is not dependent on the motion of the Earth. Time is simply dependent on motion, as it is a dimension of motion or, more specifically, one aspect of it's measurement. We measure our years and months by that motion, but that is not to say that time does not exist elsewhere. It's as if you're saying that the law of gravity applies only here on Earth and no where else.

13. And because it's so perfect!

I mean it has an ergonomic mouse, keys big enough for you to type fast on, and a screen that's big enough to see things well! Of course God made it!!!11!

[Zebedeo]

17. The computer is the work of God

God created the matter of which a computer is composed, the energy on which it operates, and the brains of the human beings who designed it. All of the glory be to God!

[Evoman]

22. The nuclear bomb is the work of god.

God created the matter of which a nuclear bomb is composed, the energy on which it operates, and the brains of the human beings who designed all. All the the curses be to God!


Sorry Zeb..couldn't help myself.

[varkam]

23. I wish God would of made mine faster.

Thanks a lot, God.
