  1. But with everything seems to happen something...in other words every physical entity seems to be impacted by time i.e. with everything happening something and no second can be infinite i.e it could be exactly the same. What can be absolute static? Space? Does space moves? Does it have any velocity? Or it is absolutely static? Thanks for the interesting reflections. I will try to answer as soon as I can! It will take a bit more time because I have classes. By then every thought is welcome of course
  2. Be gentle when you explain. Like you would do it for your granny. How time can be curved when one second is coming after another and there is no second can be infinite? Can any observer of or participant in Nature be absolute static?
  3. Culture will differ in every individual. As global, humanity gets, through language, knowledge, technology, cultural mixture provided by easier travel as common our social and cultural patterns gets. We learn and culture serves as our common consciousness. Our best understanding and its expressions. I think science impacted by culture. The questions we raise based on our understanding. Or maybe science impact culture? At the end of the they human cognition raises from a very simple stage.
  4. Thank you for your response Beecee, It is a nice complying of evolution and the development of human cognition and by that science. The bounderies of human recognition is reached far thanks to science and I understand that humans tend to fill the gaps of the unknown with the concept of God. So if I understand your comment right you say that anything can be recognized as God based on the personal understandings (a bit like what Strange said) I agree with you. Everyone has his/her own individual understanding and so the concept varies almost limitless and yes the problem is most likely the lack of objective references.
  5. Can the title God just be possessed by the first creating force or process of Nature (if there can be such)? Could any biological or physical (naturally existing or advanced AI supported) immortal entity with metaphysical values and absolute knowledge about Nature be called God?
  6. The question here what is religion and my understanding is that religions are simply believe systems about the individuals existence what science can not described. You mean atheist DO not BELIEVE that there is NO God, they know it? What proves this? Your statement is claiming that atheists do not have to think to come to the conclusion that they do not believe in God.
  7. Culture is a common philosophy to act upon. It will differ in every individual, as the cultural philosophies trigger individual perception and action, based on the person's other past experiences.
  8. This can not be true. 90+ % of humanity has religious thoughts ( note that atheism and agnostics is a form of religion) There are ca 10 000 religions and 84% of humanity affiliated at some level to the 5 largest religions (wiki). If you recognize this pattern including the past, over 100 billion humans have existed with spiritual thoughts in mind. Check the creation of all of them (tools, houses, art, family, culture...) and try to see how insignificant war and the negative impact of spiritualism (often misleaded by human factors ) is in comparison to that. I think when we try to determine is it good or bad to have religions we should evaluate it on the right scale without our subjective personal belief.
  9. How? You have to recognize the state of the simple minds tens of thousands of years ago when religions the first times through shamans arise. It is easy to judge relegions from todays ivory towers but without the past wonderings and questions, seeking understanding and reason for our own existence (motivated by different believe systems), art and science would not achive what we have today. Without questions there are no answers. Religion gave food for thought for the simple minds in primitive circumstances and still does that actually in a significant part of the world where education, internet access, or even electricity and running water is an issue. For them religion is the only path finding purpose in their life even the religion they believe in might be controversial for some.
  10. No. It is part of Humanities cognitive evolution. Religions (and humanity) would be better off without closed minded, manipulative religious leaders.
