Anonymous Coward User ID: 45139713 United States 02/16/2016 05:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Shouldn't children be pure and innocent, since they are fresh from consciousness? If you say it's because of their parents or society, how did they become that way, since everyone supposedly originated as a droplet of pure innocent consciousness? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 45139713 Everybody starts out pure and innocent but eventually falls (after many births) into a degraded place due to sin. Sin is simply any effect left on the soul following an action, good or bad. This is what religious souls don’t understand; good actions that leave an effect on you are also a sin. You have added something unauthentic to your being. That’s why Jesus taught Christ/Buddha conciseness, simply our original pure and innocent consciousness that has no understanding of good and bad so the effects of actions are minimal. Seems odd that an enlightened being of pure consciousness could end up in such a sorry state as humanity finds itself in today. I don't get it. |

Our ideas have been public for 2 millenia, so you can find answers to your questions easily online. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 45139713 But this concept of "consciousness" is much newer (at least in the "public domain"), so I would like to talk to an adherent (you) directly to understand it better. You say individuated consciousness begins before life in this material world. So that means the inherent evil we see in children arises before they are conceived on this plane? Where and how does this evil originate? I was raised attenting a Catholic church until my early teens - I am familiarized with the ideology for the most part... From your Roman Catholic orientation - do you percive that 'God' is omnipresent? If Yes, this would mean that 'God' is found everywhere and in everything, yes? So there could be no where that you could point to and say that 'God' is not present... If No, then this suggests that 'God' has a finite presence, and end and a beginning, and is located in some 'places' and not others... Which would raise other questions.. The other question I would propose is what do you feel that you are made of? What is the substance of your existence? What gives rise to your consciousness/awareness/energy/soul? Can we concede that 'God' did not create you out of nothing (no substance)? So this begs the question - what are you made up of and what does your answer say about your relationship to your perceived origin? |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 71316722 Belgium 02/16/2016 06:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Abiogenesis is chemical reactions. There is no way to tell what exactly happened when abiogenesis happened billions of years ago. Even if they created it in the lab they would not know if thats what exactly happened billions of years ago. Endosymbiosis is how single celled organisms became multicelled, they know a lot about it, you must not have researched for very long. Plants did not evolve into animals. Early synapsids evolved into mammals, there were synapsids who had some traits of mammals as well as traits of reptiles, who gradually evolved into what we classify as mammals. Mammals are still classified as synapsids. Quoting: Mystic Gohan [link to evolution.berkeley.edu] It's like you do not actually research for yourself other than reading answersingenesis Abiognesis - Yes, it is studied. That's about it. It has never been observed or replicated. It is pure speculation. Scientists can't create life out of inanimate matter today, nor do they know how it supposedly happened billions of years ago. Endosymbiosis - Again, just study. Full of speculation because scientists have no idea how it actually happens. Just hypotheses. And ZERO observations of it ever happening. Plants did not evolve into animals Ok, then where did animals come from? Has anyone ever observed a non-animal with animal offspring? Early synapsids evolved into mammals How? Has anyone ever actually seen this happen? Thats why its an hypothesis not a scientific theory. Theres evidence that implies it happened but they don't know exactly how. No, it is obvious it happened as mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own genome. Obviously lots of other evidences as well. We share a common ancestor with plants. A loooooooong time ago. Thats not how evolution works. Yes..... through the fossil record. So the evolustist's "answers" are: "Evidence implies it happened but they don't know exactly how." "It is obvious." "Lots of other evidences." "That's not how evolution works." "The fossil record." Well I guess that settles it ladies and gentlemen! That's evotardism for ya. Based on a mechanism of 'randomness' + 'lots of time'. Naturalistic materialism is a human concept, there's no such thing as evolution, science has proven this. I'd rather have an evotard blaming nature for evolution, than saying, well god created evotardism. That is not how it works. See above. That's possible aswell , micro evolution Forsure But We have never seen an animal change into another monkey man style so until proven .. I call BS Exactly. Adaptation is nothing more than the usage of pre-existing information in the coded genes. Therefore, one could say, micro evolution is a fact. Although it would be more appropriate to simply calling it micro adaptation. Since science has never shown any new information ever being added to any gene. Which facts?

So you accuse me of a "logical fallacy" of "ignoring possibilities" - but you can't name a single specific possibility I'm ignoring? LOL! Available science suggests that option 1 ("TOE") is not a logical induction because it is contrary to our observations of how living organisms reproduce. Current science suggests that the odds of a living cell forming out of nothing are astronomically low - science has no explanation at all for how life came to be in the first place. So we are both resorting to "faith" - you have faith that science will one day (next decade? century? millenium?) show that inanimate matter can somehow rearrange itself into a living cell all on its own, and I have my faith (based on the science and common sense that inanimate matter turning into life all on its own is impossible) that some outside force caused it. You can debate what that specific outside force might be, but current science suggests it isn't aliens, given the impossibility of travelling any meaningful distance through space in any reasonable amount of time. So that does indeed leave us with the supernatural. You call it magic. I don't think magic explains anything. God explains everything. Literally. He even wrote it all down for us in the Bible. |

For your first question, the best answer I found is one of the comments here: [link to forums.catholic.com] "It should also be noted that classically the creation-relation has not been understood as reflexive. Creatures bear relation to God (as created by him), but God does not bear a real relation to creatures. So God is present to creatures (ie. time, imperfection, space), but creatures are not therefore present to God. Creatures are everywhere in the presence of God, but God is not in the presence of time and imperfection himself." This also looks like a good answer on the second: [link to www.christendom-awake.org] |
