I wrote this a few weeks ago on another message board, and it seems that it explains my thoughts better than I can currently, so enjoy...
Anybody who can claim that a supreme being CANNOT exist is a closed-minded fucktard. Likewise, anybody who claims that a supreme being HAS to exist is a closed-minded fucktard.
Whether you're religious or not, you cannot say with 100% certainty that you're right. You can believe that you're right. You can insist that you're right. However, you cannot tell me that a god cannot exist. Have you left our physical world to see that no supreme being exist? Again, likewise, can a Christian or Muslim tell me that there is a higher power after they've died? No.
Sure, you can say that it makes no sense that a god exists. The whole "pink unicorn" and "flying spaghetti monster" argument. That's all and well, but matter just existing (Big Bang was caused by matter being tightly packed and thus exploding... the matter apparently just existed) is just as much of a stretch as a god always existing. Who knows, unicorns could, in fact, exist. Nobody can be 100% certain.
Now, I'm not saying religious nuts or atheists are closed-minded for believing one way or the other, but they're wrong to claim absolute knowledge on the issue.
Now, for my personal believe, I believe that a supreme being set everything we see in motion. I'm not sure that it's the Christian god, Islamic god, or even the Greek gods of ancient times. However, what I do feel to be true is that whatever being exists, it is a personal being(s). I've had too many "coincidental" things happen that really can't be explained any other way, in my opinion. There's, also, too many stories of people feeling the presence of something helping them when they were too weak to survive. Something of that sort, anyway.
Either way, if a supreme being does exist, then just because people can explain existence it with science doesn't mean that it wasn't put in place by a supreme being. A supreme being could intervene in life, too, without breaking any scientific laws. For instance, if the being wanted to kill someone through electric shock, the being could make a rat chew through a wire that causes a short and shocks the person. Nothing out of the ordinary. Nothing that would defy scientific laws. Just made it so that the rat existed in a specific place in a specific time that acted just as a rat would and killed the person. That's an extreme example, but it gets my point across, I think.
whoa.
