SimonPeterSo it would seem that science is moving to creationism by an Alien . Has that not been the message of the Bible all of this time ? God is not a terrestrial being .

GargIndiaI asked you about Van Neumann probe. Has any such probe been built yet?
TearmanNot on earth.
GargIndiaTheoretically such a probe is not possible. Only intelligent entities are soul and God which can manipulate matter.
Soul cannot be put in a machine by humans.
TearmanI don't believe that for even one second. Not only do I believe machines will be just as much cognisant as humans, but I beliebe they will have the potential to far exceed human abilities.
They will never have the ability to reproduce on their own.
They have no God/soul aspect (what is the soul comprised of).
They cannot program themselves into being.
Where does the machines sustainable 'lifeforce' come from? a plug in an outlet?
I am of the thought that circuitry can attain a dim awareness, that being said (just a thought here; recent malfunctions of Jetliner autopilots (randomly turning off), cars deciding to accelerate on their own. Its not beyond me to think technology could have some future problems, the better it becomes the likehood of creating a dim-witted Frankenstein that will backfire. Does Big Blue have scentience yet (or been tested for cognition). The only way this theory works is if one thinks we live in a digital universal aspect, describing not only the human as a byproduct; but more obviously the machine as well since we are its creators; and now back to a theory: is God Aspect digital to begin with; and if so we its progeny are recreating machines that could be examples of a rudimentary form expressing God without even knowing it.edit on 19-1-2014 by vethumanbeing because: (no reason given)

TearmanWhere's all this god stuff coming from? I thought the religious forums have been shut down. Obviously, there's no point shouting god at me, since I don't believe there is any such thing. So moving along then?
[iGargIndiaWhat is information? What is thought?
The information is either visual (pictures) or sound (voice, music etc.). The thoughts are formed in a mind and then converted into pictures or sounds so that other person can make sense of what you trying to communicate.
Your body is an amazingly complex machine. Humans have built complex machines but God/nature is way ahead.
GargIndiaThe Vedic teacher says that humans are egotistical and try to play God without having any of the powers God possesses.
GargIndiaGod created so many living species. Has a human ever created a bacteria (a single cell creature) from elements? Humans can grow bacteria from cultures, and interbreed bacteria by mixing different cultures. But has any human created a single bacteria from its chemical elements???
GargIndia An "alien origin of life" does not solve any problem. The basic problem still remains - how life started, anywhere? And if life could begin on some other planet, it could begin on this planet as well. Earth has all the ingredients of supporting life.
GargIndiaThe idea of "competing species" and "survival of the fittest" misses the basic point. While species die out (specially complex ones) due to external interference or environmental changes, the idea does not answer the basic question.
GargIndia I take the idea of transportation of living creatures from one planet to the other seriously. This process may have contributed to the richness of life on Earth. However this is a sideshow, and must be recognized as such.

The only problem I see with A bible I have 7 versions is that its metaphorical references are taken to be truisms.

returnofTheSonOfNothingThis is an important point. It all comes down to interpretation, and Joe Blow's interpretation may differ from Jack Sprat's..
People already are picking and choosing what they want to pay attention to and what to ignore (for example, do you eat shellfish?). And if each individual is putting their own spin on this text (on this retranslated, copied, edited, abridged and retranslated again x100 text), it becomes this nebulous, wishy washy thing which can be interpreted a million different ways.
VethumanbeingIt did happen; and no one from the upper realms is telling (why); because this planet is one of learning. If you knew from the outset there would be no progression of the individual soul. We are not telepathic anymore; so cannot access our creators (for the reason stated above). In the higher realms less dense; creation is a given, you think it it manifests. Not here; other rules are in place.
GargIndiaThe Vedic teacher tells us that life was 'created' on many planets, including the one where we live today.Yes God created a human that lived 100 years, could remember perfectly what he/she learned through faculties of eyes/ears, and did not fall ill. The humans of today have lost a lot of original qualities. So it should be called evolution in reverse.
GargIndiaAny human can develop 'telepathy' with effort.

the problem with the notion :
" life on earth could not have developed by naturalistic process - ergo : ALIENS "
immediately begs the question - origins of thie aliens ?

Atheist care not how it all began or how life began . They only want to believe that the final judgment day does not exist therefore God does not exist ..
