Amazing Facts

A personal story in the experience: I Am Amazed At the Universe
O ur world rotates on it's axis at a rate of 1,000 miles per hour, yet as we stand upon it we feel that we are standing still.

Our world also travels around our sun at about 67,000 miles per hour, every minute of every day, 365 days a year, yet we do not have 67,000 mile per hour winds.

What's a windy day, 30 to 40 mile per hour winds ?

I honestly have not found a god that I can bring myself to believe in.

Whoever created the universe is one heck of an architect. But then it might have been a group of " architects ".

I invite your comments.

Religions, God, god, nature. These things are so very different and seperate to me. Religion, that is organized, well, it is the opiate of the masses. God, the jury is still out on that. But nature, now that is a wonderous power. Awe inspiring and thought provoking. Guess what I'm trying to say is some people can't seperate "nature" and "god". I like to think I can.

I believe that an individual, or group of individuals are responsible for creating the universe, I just don't have any idea who.
There is too much order around us. The way things all sort of dovetail together. It can't be by chance.

So I take it you don't believe in the "chaos theory"?

chaos theory? if we subscribed to that in this case then everything would really be going wrong wouldn't it? given the complexity as to how the whole universe thing works. (please orchid, don't run circles around me on this on!)

Persoanlly, i subscribe to the 'Great Maker' - call him/her/it whatever you like....

Orchid,
I do not believe in random creation of this universe.
I am not very well versed on the chaos theory, but from what I've read about it, I do not believe there is any way that those sort of dynamics could have created such order.
I also believe that the big bang is nonsense.
Big explosion and here we are so many eons or whatever, later. No, I can't believe that.
There is just to much order to this place.
I believe that this place was meticulously designed by a being or a group of beings.
If this were true, they would have to be infinitely more powerful and intelligent than humans.
Should they be called gods ? I don't think so.
Not by the definitions I've seen.
I like the word architect, which means "master builder".
How about a "supreme architect"or group of "supreme architects" ?
By the way, I haven't found a religion that I would trust to lead me through life. I'm just trying to be as logical as I can given what I perceive.

I like your perspective, I personally believe in god, like in the christian sense but I don't call myself a christian because I don't believe in organized religion. But I like your take on things. :)

Wonderful story. I am particularly intrigued by that idea of non-god architects. I have been wondering "why" a bit less lately, but there are so many possibilities.
