Why I believe in god. Just look up in the sky (Long)
I believe in god because it just makes logical sense. New people are on the earth all the time, and people die, but really we are all made of the same shit that the people of the earth were made of thousands of years ago. These organic molecules aren't destroyed when we die; they just go through the next step in the process. Dust to dust so to speak, we are created from living matter that was consumed by our mothers, and then we die, decompose, and back to the soil and the circle of life. So the people of the future are going to be made of the same carbon, nitrogen, oxygen etc that we were, and the people of the past were. Not just people, plants, animals the waters and the soil.
I believe we came from this planet, this living spaceship, this terrarium we live on. Everything about is it alive, the geological actions, the water is alive, the soil is alive and the plants are alive. We are all part of this collective thing called life. The planet has had billions of years to develop this consciousness, an extension of itself. Our soul I will call it for lack of a better word, maybe you could call it our perception, our reality, whatever it is that is us, our self-awareness, is an extension of this collective entity, call it god if you will. I believe our minds are attached to our bodies, but not only a product of our bodies. More like our bodies anchor our minds to this plane of existence. I don’t believe every time someone is born, a new consciousness or soul is born, or when someone dies, one is destroyed. Like I stated above, they are just recycled through the cycle of life, not in the same form, but in the way our bodies are recycled.
And take a step back and look at things from the bigger picture. From what I understand from my rudimentary knowledge of cosmic workings, the big bang started from a singularity, a point of infinite mass and density. To create something like that, you would need either some big guy in the sky to snap his fingers and poof, or as I like to think of our creator, a black hole. The universe was made of pure energy at this point, as it was too hot to form chemical bonds. As this cooling matter drifted through space and formed hydrogen, stars were born from a release of energy in these clouds of hydrogen gas. At the heart of these stars, god again you could call it forged all of these new elements, by fusing elements of hydrogen and helium together.
As these stars began to gain mass, their gravity increased. Through this gravity, matter began to orbit them, eventually forming planets from the rotating dust clouds. Those close to the star’s radiance a molten core of rock and metal, but the further ones, masses of ice and gas. Some of these planets were alive then, before single celled organism. It wasn’t life, as we know it, but life in the geological sense. And the active living planet made life, as we know it possible through such things as liquid water, suitable temperatures, and a methane rich atmosphere to culture the early anaerobic forms of life, in the methane rich oceans. I am not saying life cannot exist outside these parameters, but it seems that is what fostered the life on this planet. With life being an ever-changing evolving thing, it wouldn’t surprise me at all to think life could exist in conditions we deem sterile.
When you look at the stars in the sky, all of those just being ones you can see with the human eye, how could there not be other life out there. The Milky Way galaxy rotates around a center point, our solar system on one tendril of this galaxy full of many similar to ours. At the center of this galaxy must be an enormous source of gravity. There is not an enormous star, so the only other thing I can think of would be a black hole. So on a cosmic circle of life, everything will pass over the event horizon and be sucked into this black hole. And at the center of this black hole lies a singularity: the beginning, our origin, and the future.
In conclusion, if the above is true, and you want to call our creator god, it is safe to assume we are an extension of god, life is god, our planet is god, our star is god, the black hole is god, and this cycle is god. Or maybe some guy snapped his fingers and poof, you decide.
