I’m a scientist by education and a project manager by career. Every single decision I make is based on data. Yet I can’t shake the feeling of how our reality could be designed by a greater being.

The way atoms and molecules work is astounding. The fact that there is a whole other field of studying things even smaller than protons and neutrons is mind boggling. These small particles aren’t a random phenomenon to be observed. They’re the basis of our entire universe.

For nearly anything in life you can figure out how something works. Why are metals hard? Why does plastic bend? Etc. as go smaller and smaller, we can no longer answer those questions and the world gets more and more confusing. Thinking about subatomic particles makes me feel like a caveman staring at the stars and being convinced there is a higher being out there. I guess it’s just easy to resort to god as an explanation for things where human knowledge is no where near great enough to explain.

If the thought of god can help so many people out then he's real in a sense. He doesn't need to be physically real. Don't know how people don't get this.

i mean ive pretty much lost faith over the years but i was born into a muslim family and everytime i would ask this question nobody had an answer the quran says he was created before the creation of creation and it’s what originally started having me question the whole religion as a whole so no luck there.

I’m personally not religious, but come from a super Christian family. I see it as a good morale compass for some that need guidance. They argue that he walked the earth (Jesus). So I came to ask the question of actually physical evidence.

Theoretically, if these gods did exist, they would be considered part of the spiritual realm and not the physical one, no? Why would there be physical evidence of a spiritual concept?

So you’re saying that there is no “god” there is the thought or belief in a sentient being? Many religious diehards will argue that Jesus walked the earth.

I'm saying I don't think we will ever have the knowledge nor the capabilities to know for sure.

I believe in my Gods because it makes my life happier, makes it easier to get up in the morning. If there really is some sort of spiritual realm all these great Gods reside in, we have yet to gain any sort of access to it that would provide us any proof, or at least not while we're alive. If Jesus really did walk the earth, it would have been far too early in time to have any remnant of it now.

My point is that we'll never know for sure. All we can do is choose to believe what makes life worth living for us as individuals.

It’s not a question of whether Jesus walked the earth since there is proof outside the Bible that he existed. The debate is whether he was actually his own son or if he was a carpenter who was like “maybe let’s stop being assholes” and it blew everyone’s minds

There isn’t any. Do you realize how big of a deal it would be if mankind actually found any evidence of god? It wouldn’t be something that you would have to ask about.

For the faithful, the fact that everything around them exists at all is the physical proof.

I learned that Math is the best proof of God. No matter who what when where how or why, 2+2 always equals 4.
