God has no personality and is not an entity. Its the self organizing force behind the constant changes in the universe.
John, I surprisingly agree with you, to an extent. However, evolution is an observable fact and it is intellectually dishonest to find gaps in science and claim that it is God’s doing that we can’t understand. It stifles scientific progress and rational thought. There is no reason they can’t both simultaneously exist.
I believe Einstein said it best.
“The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It should transcend personal God and avoid dogma and theology. Covering both the natural and the spiritual, it should be based on a religious sense arising from the experience of all things natural and spiritual as a meaningful unity”
I personally don’t think humans, at this juncture in history even with all our creativity have been able to articulate the devine especially with our limited linguistic capabilities and IMO, organized religions are just early versions of political control with some elements of wisdom and truth intertwined within them.

Presuming to know is a disease.

September 9, 2008 at 8:03 PM #268344ocrenterParticipanthere’s the Einstein quote in its entirety,
“The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It should transcend personal God and avoid dogma and theology. Covering both the natural and the spiritual, it should be based on a religious sense arising from the experience of all things natural and spiritual as a meaningful unity. Buddhism answers this description. If there is any religion that could cope with modern scientific needs it would be Buddhism.”

September 10, 2008 at 1:58 AM #268479AnonymousGuestI anticipated this and back in 05, I began the process for Canadian residency. I went this May to Vancouver and landed….now I am a Canadian resident.
If this douchebag gets into office, I’m outta here for sure.
How can this country INCREASE spending on the military is beyond me. People in America are truly high on killing people.
