| "Suddenly existed"
"Happened to exist"
"Came out of nothing"
Religious folk need to get this idea out of there heads. To most people they see it as either "God exists and created the world" or "god doesn't exist and life sprang out of nothing".
It's just so asinine to think like this. The universe and reality IS god. Instead of personalizing and personifying it, we look at is what it is - a system of nature. Nothing sprang out of nothingness. There are countless forces that exist that guide the functions of reality to produce the life we see today.
A thinking, seeing, god with emotions is not a necessary or real part of this. It's a projection of our own egos onto the forces of the universe. |
