Preferably something by a physicist on the topic (NOT 'Dr. Quantum'). To be frank, your views on QM make me think you learned about it from "What The Bleep Do We Know?!" or some new age author which is why I asked the question.Originally Posted by NikolaiI
I'm tired right now so any 'view' I try to give will be rather clumsily worded. I'll get back to this thread soon and explain the problems I saw there and maybe see if I can dig up some books to recommend on the topic.
"Other Worlds: Space, Superspace, and the Quantum Universe" by Paul Davies.
Because it is a mythologically created idea, not the truth.
“Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature””
“If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose, becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation.
It would make things much less interesting.

There will not be fundamentalists.

Nor fundamentals.
Really we would have lived in a world less violent, with less atrocious people and all to be cooperative and coordinating with one another.
In fact what we call God is a projection of our imaginative faculty and nothing else. Think for a while and you will realize it.

Then the atheists would be right.
Ha ha ha
Despite the snow,
Despite the falling snow.
I find it very hard to believe that without religion, the world would be less violent, and everybody would get along. I think that's a little bit of a fairytale, to be honest.
Hell is other people.

I just realized that if there wasn't any God, then I wouldn't have had anything to write my term paper about that interested me. (Hm!)
Indeed. By the way, nice sig.

In fact god is something we gave a name to a source of energy. Is not the energy itself the very source of everything we have. Is there any other sources than this?
Is God something different than this universe, this wholeness with which we often feel at one with?
