Q's for atheists and maybe hardcore agnostics

If you want to understand the logic of the belief in God, you can use math as a metaphor. That's all I'm saying.
If God = all potential; then He = 0. Zero contains all the potential for all numbers, yet is not a number. God is not a number. Get it??

Again, the error in God logic is that He IS SOMETHING. He's not anything. He's not a person or a tree or a dog or a monster. If God is all potential then He must be able to be any thing. It is impossible to be somewhere and everywhere at the same time.

Maybe you can link us to the original source.

seems so contradictory to me

I am still waiting for the part of quantum mechanics that supports his assertion. Some labratory tested theories.

The material world exists due to observation. It is the OBSERVER that determines where and when energy exists. According to quantum theory, an atom can be at two places at the same time. All possibilities (infinite possibilities exist.)

Where is God? His he somewhere? A place? Or does he exist as ALL POTENTIAL?? All possibilities?

Get it?

I guess if you think of zero as nothing....but it is something.

Hell, I don't know how to wrap my head around it.

or he doesn't exist since we cannot "observe" him.

You just found God, congrats. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

You cannot even think of God. No human brain can think of all possibilities. As soon as you lock into one possibility, you're polarized. God is not polarized, he's 100% neutral.

Point: give up on God and just live your God **** life already. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I have never head an atom, but the componets of an atom, mainly the electron has been studied. Are you suggesting the influece of the observer determines the location. I do not believe that to be correct. The observer may define the location, but he doesn't determine it. He may calculate the probability wave...still, if we continue to use the anology, God has to exist somewhere...correct?

i'm trying to, but you keep confusing me with this mess of "logic"

WHEN you observe, YOU bring God into reality. YOU ARE GOD! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Don't tell the Pope this:crying:

Some ofthe more hardcore physicist wrestle with this idea often. Mainly concerning the moon. Does it exist when we do not look at it?

This leads me to wonder if other people do not exist when I do not "observe" them...and then my head begins to hurt.

but are we talking about observation as in physical observation or merely a mental recognition of what we believe to exits?

Physical observation...
