God Options

i really see no reason to believe in him. there are so many arguments to his non existence. come on, you religious fanatics. bring it on.

I was never good in science, please clear this up for me just a bit: physics use math? If math is absolute, then shouldn't physics be the same?

Or, is it how math is applied that matters?

All sciences use mathematics, but they are not the same. Mathematics in physics is used to model the "real" world as best fit as possible so we can have a better understanding of the universe and what goes on around us. However, this model is never perfect and it is the physicists' job to improve on this. Stephen Hawking claims that someone in the near future will be able to find and prove this "perfect model" of the universe. Once that is done, then we might be able to scientifically prove the existence or non-existence of God.

There was a topic about ghosts - do they exist or not? There's experimental evidence that parallel universes may be interacting with each other (electron diffraction expoeriment), but that is just an intelligent assumption made so that the observed phenomena can be explained (i.e. it is a mathematical model trying to "match" the real world). Whether this has anything to do with ghosts, no one knows yet.

What I mean is: could God be confused with science back then?

There's enough things we don't know about this universe today to still believe that God may be responsible for things that happen around us. Not just complicated things such as quantum physics, but we don't understand seemingly simple things like emotions - such as love or hatred. How would science as we know it today explain love? Somethings might be better off not explained at all. It is up to each individual person to believe what he/she wants, but I don't think people that don't believe in God have any grounds to criticise people that do.
