I'm not complaining about your grammar, just about the mile-long block of text! It's hard to read.

Okay, now back to read what you're saying. \:\)

Is there room in your belief system for the possibility that a supernatural intelligent force could have possibly had anything to do with creation? Or in your opinion would the only possible explanation have to come through natural causes?
My belief is that the supernatural intelligent force is more a part of creation. At a certain point the universe took on a life of its own.

That's just my feeling, though, not the kind of thing I shout about.

When I say that Darwin is 100% right, that doesn't mean I believe he answers every question. It's just that what he's describing actually happens with 100% certainty. It's very hard to fathom how anyone could question that seriously.

Why do we as humans have to label the beauty of the universe as "SUPER NATURAL?" WTF is super natural, something that's naturaly super?? Isn't looking at the photos of deep space, the formation of planets, star clusters, super novas, black holes, all that amazing stuff happening all around us, why not call that super natural also?

No, what it is is our tiny minds trying to grasp the nature of our lives in a way we can understand, hense the idea of a creator, and he happens to be a male..."kind of makes you wonder huh?"

The nature of the universe you might as well call "super natural". Life is hugh, beyond our ability to grasp. Like the ice burg anaology, what we percieve is what's visable above the water, what we can't see is what's below.

The idea of a god who has a plan for your life and is taking care of you "in his mysterious way", is an attempt of some to find an awnser to this mystery. To me and many others it looks foolish, even childish.

But, I respect and understand the need to find an awnser, to find that connection to where you come from, it's deep, and as much of a desire as any other.

I'm curious as to why you feel the need to make that distinction.

Which distinction, dorkus? Between a creator standing outside everything making it all happen and a force or series of forces that are an integral part of everything and aren't pulling the strings?

If so, I don't feel a need at all, that's just how I believe it is. And I was really just answering the question.

But the distinction is probably one of the things that separates me from people who are religious.

If there was any true intelligence in the Universe, this thread would end!
