Do you belive in god/ a god

The bizarre thing is that anyone thinks they are qualified to actually be able to say yes or no to the question that is there a god, one day we all will find out…..😁
 
Science can't explain EVERYTHING.
Yet.
Over the years anything that couldn't be explained always fell back to the rationale of 'god created it that way'.
We continue to explore and explain the beginings of our time / evolution, and the various religions reconfigure their beliefs to align themselves with the science. Thus diluting their Bible as time goes on.
Eventually we will have all the answers. Just because we don't yet know what was before the big bang, doesn't necessarily mean it was all down to a 'God'. That's a lazy prosumption. It's the people that challenge religion that find the answers about humanity and our origins. The dead end belief that God created everything or at least everything we can't explain are the people that stifle humans natural inquisitiveness to get to the bottom of what is FACT - and not a BELEIF.
 
I have watched "A Glitch In The Matrix" late last year and I thought it was poor in terms of defining relationships between a "Matrix" and reality. It was mainly made up of a few 'avatars' of people with experiences that in many cases are barely related to, provide any evidence of, or indeed add substance to such a thing.

Your statement BigAl conflates religion and god. Science will never explain everything either. There will always be room for a god. In 400 BC the greek Democitus coined the phrase atom meaning uncuttable and postulated that all matter in the universe was constructed of atoms. It was 2,300 years later when Thompson discovered that atoms contained, at least electrons.

Thats a long time that science considered the atom as the smallest paticle in nature. We are still a long way from even explaining gravity as a quantum effect. We only just recently came up with a theory for how mass works, and even more recently discovered the particle we believe is responsible for mass.

The big bang theory was superceded by big inflation for a couple of reasons. The main one being that there probably was never a big bang because there was probably never a time when evrything the universe would ever need was contained in an infinitisimally small space.

The big bang was a theory based on reversing time, from inflation to contraction, however that has a, possibly flawed, notion that the universe is expanding and is not infinite. If it is infinite then it was never smaller than it is today, despite the expansion. If it is infinite, it has existed for ever, or was created as we see it today, infinite.

The science argument for there being no god isn't a very good one, it assumes we can know everything, and that suggests there is finite knowledge. Science will never explain how the universe came to be. Right there is where god will continue to exist, at least for some.

I don't believe in god, about 90% atheist, probably.
 
I remember playing the sims as a kid and one day thinking what if I'm a sim?

It does sort of make sense that as we create greater and greater levels of virtual worlds then what are the chances of us being the original one?

Maybe we can somehow will out virtual overlords (who are almost certainly sims themselves) to grant us a victory over Chelsea today.
