I have no idea. I cannot remember this topic ever coming up at the Catholic church or in any conversation I have had before.

2. Through quantum physics, there's been massive support that particles can form out of nothing, somewhat showing that the universe could be uncaused. What do you think about this? YES. The universe will be destroyed one day and not just because I read it in revelations. Scientists prove this fact everyday.

3. Do you believe that a higher entity indeed created us entirely or rather that an entity planted the seeds for our growth and we simply evolved over time? Or is it that your religion is simply a spiritual quest and does not conform to the views of a Christian God? God created science therefore he created the actions of the physical world to cause human life. Big Bang YES.

4. God is often depicted in a human form, explained by people's needs to make God relatable to them. Do you think this is right or is the idea of 'god' simply a force outwith our comprehension? It is taught that human's were formed in God's image. I do not think we were formed in his physical image. He made us in a more intangible image. He made us different in a way than the other animals in our mind. He gave us logic. I have NEVER viewed god in the image of a human. He is a force.


Coming from a non-religious background, I'm interested in gaining some perspective that's not simply a teacher talking as you could understand. This thread isn't to denounce either religion or science, but rather to observe each other's views, remember.

I absolutly hate it when ppl feel they need to only be on one side of the fence. You can believe in God and Science. Any christian that still denies evolution is just ignorant. God used these tools of creation. These tools of science that we also use. Believing otherwise as a christian is pretty much believing that God is an idiot.

Nice thread. Very thought provoking questions
