[Rob Instigator]

1) Does God Make Sense? NO. The idea of a supernatural being who created the cosmos as we see it and understand it, does not make sense. What makes even less sense is the idea of a personal god deity that actually oversees every single event that can possibly ever happen, especially as it pertains to indiviudual human lives. Having said that, much of the cosmos does not avail itself to human common sense. Human common sense is strictly a by-product of the collected experiences and evolution of our species. It tells us many things tat are actually wrong.

2) How Vast is the Cosmos? The cosmos is by all intents and purposes, infinite. If there is just one universe, and we are in one of the trillion or so galaxies in that universe, the scale for comparison is moot, and we may as well call it infiite. This is speaking in terms of scope.

3) Why is Consciousness So Mysterious? It is mysterious only because it canot be studied properly. water cannot get wet. fire cannot burn itself. consciousness cannot understand itself, not fully. it seems supernatural, but it is just a result of the limits inherent in self-analysis. Just because there is a mystery does not mean that the answer to that mystery is magic or supernatural, or god. The bestoption for humans is to study the underlying basis for consciousness, or our mechanistic brains. this will never fully answer the question of consciousness. a bycicle chain cannot, just by studying itself, understand that it is moving a hot babe along on top of a larger mechanical device.

4)Why the Cosmos? - pointless question. the question "why" is a human failing, a question that seeks to impose meaning and pattern, something our human minds are expert at (even if there is no pattern or meaning). It only applies to the end result of actions undertaken by conscious life. you cannot hope to answer why the colorado river carved th Grand Canyon. You can just answer How. This is the central dillema of all religions, for they choose to provide a pat answer to this pointless question.

5) Are Science and Religion at war? No, but they should be. This is personal opinio of course, but religion is codified supersition, and as such, can be very easily subverted to control populations, individuals, societies as a whole, to denigrate and exclude any non-believers. science does not do that. humans can use science's information to do evil, sure, but science itself can correct those evils and prove their stupidities wrong. religions just contradict each other in a never ending war., and it is all bullshit. BILLIONS if not trillions of human have been killed tortured, maimed, enslaved, genocided, captured, ridiculed, and deeemd lower beings due to mere religious disagreements. It is the history of our species. Science has slowly, and with hopefully ever expanding scope, shown the interconnectedness of all life, PROVEN IT beyond a shadow of doubt, shown the frailty of our existance, and the true brotherhood of all living matter in the world. This will hopefully one day extinguish the bullshit that man calls religion.


6) Why the Cosmos? see answer to question 4

7) Arguments For/Against the Existence of God - pointless. may as well spend one's life arguing whether or not purple leprechauns control the lava flows on Mt Vesuvius. There is no proof either way for the very idea is bullshit.

8) Is God Outside of Time? - this is a cop-out used by religious believers to endow their "god" with the magical ability to be eerywhere see everyhing know everything, like fucking santa claus. BULLSHIT.

9) Fallacies in Proving God's Existence? - all of them

10) Is God Necessary? - it is if you want to control whole masses of blind ignorant people. It is neccesary if you want to enslave the free thinking minds of humanity to some sort of all-powerful overlord whom only you can speak to, or for whom only you can speak for or understand, or decipher their "godly" writings. "god" is the greatest lie ever told to man.

11) Arguing God From the Moral Law.. - there is no moral law, or natural law, orany other such dictum describing how people shoudl treat each other. Anything that claims this, is just a lie made up by HUMANS to control other humans.

12) Arguments for Atheism.. - Might as well ask for arguments against the existance of Chuthulu, or the keebler elves.

13) Is Consciousness Entirely Material? - no one knows. conscciousness may be entirely immaterial, but it could result from material things, like our brain's neurons. a magnetic field is immaterial, but it results from a very material substance, such as a magnet. this does not mean that a magnetic field can exist independent of the magnet, or that consciousness can exist independently of the brain.

14) Can the Brain Explain the Mind? - brain/mind are just words used to designate certain aspects of our consciousness. brain is the hardware and the mind is the end result of the hardware.

15) What Things Really Exist? "things?" all things exist. god, satan, appollo, yahweh, beelzebub, crom, chuthulu, are all ideas, not things.
