Just to reiterate that if what you say as speed is based off of mans interpretation of time itself.

(quote not shown) So then are we to assume there is no creator or even so that the creator is beyond our comprehension. I can believe that a god or creator is beyond human understanding. Now if I were to take your argument as many christians I know would take it to heart I would say that God did com...

(quote not shown) There is no way you can have physical contact with a spiritual creator if there is one. Say that our creator is nothing more than a physical being in and of itself.

This is why I believe it is better stay away from religion and adhere to your own beliefs that you have come to find through your own investigations of the world around you.

Joshua McHenry wrote:Yes reasonable yet completely dogmatic. One of the Mayan God's, Quetzalcoatl ,did not require sacrifice are you going to put him on the pedestal with your God? Or are you going to put him in a different category because his people are dead?
Do you really find this gods structure to be so self centred because as I remember the Christian god is quite selfish so do not be so quick to deal out judgment upon another god.

(quote not shown) You must understand that we have no knowledge of time before us. We only have guess work.
