For sure as it is a Necessary Condition.
—either Something or Nothing can self-create or self start spontaneously. The world did not suddenly explode or evolve into Existing or Being.
—Someone has to put resting mass, resting motion, and resting energy in place.-That would be Omnipotent and Creator God.
—There had to be a God that created and started the movement of the resting states. The resting states has to have a Cause.. Evolution is an Effect as it can not Self-start. A First Cause and Creator God moved resting objects into active objects.

What you've written here makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

[Guy13]

@Snsl153 okay. By all the likes and SuperBot I think most get it. It’s obvious and common sense…what’s nonsensical is something like evolution as a first cause OR a sudden Big Bang spontaneously into Being-Human existence, world, intelligent design etc
Slow down and study it.

[Snsl153]

No one (and I really do mean absolutely no one) has ever made the claim that evolution, a purely biological process, is, or could ever be, a first cause. When speculation about the origins of reality are entertained, it helps to keep in mind the principle known as Occam's (or Ockham's) that encourages you to consider first and foremost the kind of explanation that has the fewest number of unjustified assumptions underlying it. "God", whilst emotionally satisfying, isn't a scientific hypothesis, but a philosophical one, and as such it is beyond the scope of the scientific method to shine any light on. That being the case it isn't a testable hypothesis, and thus is unfalsifiable, and therefore not exactly helpful when it comes to trying to determine how or why there is anything at all to begin with.
I believe in God not because "the science says so", or because we need an atemporal, efficient cause to explain reality, but because the idea is self-evidently obvious and true.

I did of course mean Ockham's Razor. Why can't we correct mistakes on this site?

I'm a very scientific person, and I haven't seen anything compelling against it. As a matter of fact, if you dig deep enough into the science of DNA, you'll find some big roadblocks to the idea that it formed spontaneously into anything resembling a life form. There are five basic substances to DNA. One of them (sugar phosphate) can only be formed by biological processes. Another (guanine) is 0% water soluble. So nobody can explain how these chemicals came together in some sort of abiotic primordial sludge to form anything, much less a functioning cell. The simplest self-replicating organism on earth has 525 genes, using over 800,000 base pairs to form them. Being as the average word contains 4.7 letters, that would be like a 170,212 word instruction manual writing itself randomly... without the existence of paper.

Yes - Cause a lot of times God makes me do the right thing when I do not know what the right thing is. Like I only kept in touch with one friend from my early years and later I learned a stalker was trying to locate me through my old friends.

I have no way of knowing, however I do not believe in any religion.

[omnivert]

Haha its funny because its a fact we are some natural organism in views of science,
But in names of God, we are created and I also want to say before some ages, supernatural powers were existed and that did something terribly wise to hide those powers in ourselves.

Which we can gain by yoga and meditation.

[Ray1980]

I believe that the natural state of the universe is chaos & something imposes order over that chaos. I also believe the uni/multiverse is sentient & what we are experiencing is an attempt to explain why it exists.

I'd like to believe that 1) I will see my loved ones again without sadness, anger, or illness 2) I would like to believe all the rat bastards who rape, kill, abuse, betray find their due rewards they truly deserve in the end.

[KrisPW]

I have trouble believing that all of these systems that make up a living being are just happy unique accidents.

[jshm2]

Just say God, kiddo. The problem with using terms like "omnipotent" is that they do not mean what you think they do in theology.

[dustybiker]

To find out we were some “higher powers” third grade half-arsed science experiment would suck.

[captain_voidwalker]

Yes I do. Someone had to program the simulation we all live in.

you know who else is an omnipotent being that created all life... MY MOM
