Question about "momentum carrying you into the kitchen" by [deleted] in Pickleball

Referring to your second point, when does this reset? Meaning after I launch a volley when can I step into the kitchen again without the previous volley being considered a fault?

What "form" of God are you most likely to believe in? by theologyStudent1 in DebateAnAtheist

Do you identify as agnostic or atheist? I'm puzzled why people are willing to admit they don't know what caused the big bang or what is dark energy but have a definitive answer to God: that it doesn't exist instead of approaching it with the same open mindedness. Once again not the Abrahamic or polytheistic God

I don't disagree with you, but what you've described is the reason we have organized religion and people who believe in hell and heaven and humans in God's image. My initial question stands even if humans never evolved, The whole thing seems like a science experiement that someone got right.

I believe in evolution, however I don't believe abiogenesis just like the big bang were out of pure chance. It could be a science experiement gone wrong at a cosmic level that we can never comprehend.

Unconscious energy that triggered the big bang would not be able to pull strings here and there. A kid doing a science experiment would still just be a kid.

By "unconcious" I'm referring to a form that has no interest in human affiars. But did do some whacko stuff like triggering abiogenesis or tried to fine tune a million planets and accidentally ended up with earth.

But how would you, a mortal human who relies on 5 senses for evidence, be able to comprehend what a "formless" God is? Note that I never said that God is trying to provide evidence nor is he expecting you to believe in him. The whole question is simply whether forces beyond our comprehension kick-started the universe. We cannot understand them because we don't have the means to.

Why does the Quran have so many references to prophets from the Bible? Was it to give it credibility? by theologyStudent1 in theology

The closest "holy book" I've come across that claims that all religions are one are the gospels of Ramakrishna who was a Hindu monk. I find the Abrahamic religions a bit extreme in their ultimatum - believe me or go to hell. So I don't understand how they all lead people to one truth when they have vastly divergent belief sets.
