I sometimes wish I had this just to shut up the voice in my head.

Any church is just a cult. People don’t need religion to tell them how to be a good person

Orange as a colour did not used to exist for us English. Tribes have been found to see different colours than the outside world, due to the language they use and how they identify colours.

It's all relative. 🤷‍♂️😁

I remember aged about 5 asking in scripture class, "Pease Miss, who was God's mummy and daddy?"

Once upon a time, I had all the answers. They were somebody else's answers that they got from somebody else, that they got from somebody else... somebody else ... and/or was their interpretation of answers from ancient books. Actually, sometimes those somebody elses had differing answers, so I struggled to determine whose were the most right, even while continuing to consider that I had all the answers. My fellow answer-holders and I felt bad for those who had some different answers, completely different answers, or 😱 no answers at all! Then one day, upon closer inspection, I realised that the very foundations of my answers didn't align with the evidence of history, truth, or reality. Now, I have no definite answers. I have guesses and hunches, intuition with a dose of "I could be wrong". Overall, I'm free to explore the MMRPG of life and find out stuff without trying to make it fit my answers. And that's way better.

"In the Beginning, there was Nothing, which exploded."

SuperGod made God.

These are valid queries whether you believe in a god, or not.

In Judaism, God exists outside the laws of nature, as God created the laws of Nature and Universe, therefor humans do not have the purview to truly understand the nature of God. That God is eternal, always was and always will be, and we cannot understand such a concept because God did not create our world with the ability to understand this. BTW this was written down in a Jewish writing about 60BCE, and is the accepted understanding of God in Judaism since then.

Graduating from religion is a beautiful thing. Not everyone can achieve it.

Santas claus has as much reality

What came before the "Big Bang" ? 🤔🤔🤔

The pig is taught by sermons and epistles To think the God of Swine has snout and bristles.

We are finite beings. We and everything around us has a beginning and an end. The inability to comprehend infinity in both directions is likely a result of this.

I used to lie awake thinking about the end/ edge of the universe, when I was 10 or so

I'm a science lover as I grew up with Alot bull$hit and needed something I could rely on.......whenever I encounter a god/religion "peacher"...I react with "God bless science! As he must have used it to create our world.....brahahaha. ;-)

It's a small world until you try to paint it

Cursory non-fiction look at you religion goes a long way

Yeah this is something that still gets to me, if I think about it any longer I'll spiral into paranoia I think.

When considering these questions, we do well to consider the logical answer. If someone made God, then who made that person? And so on. Logic suggests that eventually you arrive at someone who has always existed. And that therefore for an infinite period stretching into the past, the universe and its inhabitants did not exist. Time as we know and understand it - a linear measurement of the passing of events with only proceeds in one direction - is logically therefore different for God. Does this mean that we can grasp the concept of One who has always existed? No. No more than we can grasp concepts such as limitless time or space in all directions; or comprehend the size of the known universe, or the number of connections in the human brain, or the temperature of the surface of the sun. Nonetheless, if the answer is logical, the fact that we can’t fully grasp it should not cause us to reject it.

In the beginning there were six stones....

God is fungi, we are star fungi, everything is fungi

Quantumfoam. The universe created itself because it created itself. This is a hard thing to process but trust me, I work here

It's all times fault. Things were going fine until the anomaly of time came to be.

These sre called singularities, and dont have an actual answer.

It is a very hard concept for humans to grasp but God has always been here. Us humans always has known everything has a beginning.

Ditto. As I got older, I was surprised on a number of occasions to learn people/places in the bible were real, as a kid, I'd assumed it was all fictional.

Cucumbers are also berries. Cucumberries!

no magic, just a LOT of sugar

But what language did we think in?

52!

My infinity is bigger than your infinity!

Psychedelic d***s do not cause schizophrenia, but they can be a trigger for people who are already predisposed to the disease, and it's not something that can "happen at any time" it presents sometime between mid 20's to mid 30's, with anything below 18 being classified as "early onset" and being extremely rare. Schizophrenia runs in families, there is a genetic component there, though it's not a single gene, it's some combination of genes that we've yet to identify. If you have zero family history of the disease, it's very, very unlikely that you're going to suddenly come down with it because you smoked a joint or dropped some acid.

that concept f****d up my chemistry grade. nobody could explain to me why it's "nothing" and not vacuum or sth. unknown. I was so hung up on it I couldn't concentrate on anything else...that was when I decided it was not nothing but cola..just so that topic was solved for my brain. Just imagine a world where every nook is filled with soda pop

We have just a vague idea about our own galaxy, which is between the smaller ones in the list of galaxies known to us so far.

Platypus have venom spurs. And lay eggs, but produce milk. But don't have nipples, just secretors. The last remaining, with echidnas, of the simplest mammals.

I think that’s as much a failure of language as understanding. No human language has the right grammar to describe quantum superposition in a non-paradoxical manner. Human language is based on our macro-scale perceptions, and is full of assumptions about how things work that are true only above quantum scale. Even the math can’t really tell you what it is, only how it works, because the meaning of the mathematical symbols and expressions is understood through the same filter of macroscale experience. If you can manage to think about it without trying to label things, you *might* be able to come close to a fuller understanding, but thought free of language in a mind that has language is a difficult skill to master.

Duh, that's why we need warp drives
