¿DID GOD CREATE THE MIND OR DOES THE MIND CREATE GOD?



Perhaps the biggest issue next to the question of God itself, is did we create him or is he our creator? Materialists, people who believe in Darwin's Natural Selection and deny God, believe God is an illusion that humans have evolved to believe in to help cope with death and the fear of living. Spiritual and Religious people, on the other hand, believe God is superior to all and is hard to understand only because he exists in another realm, a "mystical" realm. Richard Dawkins, premier materialist and Darwin advocate, claims that humans over time evolved spiritual thoughts and a belief of God on their brains to ease the overwhelming emotions of life and to help understand death. That any spiritual thoughts or "visions" are mere abnormalities in the physical brain. But this theory also denies the possibility of life beyond death. If there is no spiritual realm, like he states, then we are but mere biological brainiacs that have evolved to believe in one. That we created God. Yet there are also many large cultures who deeply believe, even feel, that there is a spiritual or other-worldly realm beyond ours. Their evidence is lacking but they claim that what they sense on these spiritual trips is more real than life itself. Very devout faiths like Catholicism, Buddhism, or Hinduism preach that if you follow a spiritual life it is much more fulfilling. Why is that? Is it because we become closer to god? That god created us, and gave us the choice to either believe or ignore him? The human mind has been and remains THE ULTIMATE BLACK BOX in medicine and engineering. And this is NO surprise, since the most complex, modern supercomputer, which can only now be understood barely on a system-level by an individual, remains a "toy" compared to the human brain let alone, say, the brain of a cockroach. In fact, understanding all aspects of the human brain may simply be beyond human understanding. However, despite all of the "miraculous" progress of the 20th century, there are and always will be fundamental limitations. I'm curious as to what other people have to think of this, so please leave me your opinions or related life experiences on this topic.

  2. If there is anything beyond the material realm, one thing is for certain... it is not contained in the various holy books of the ancient superstitions we call religion.

  3. Thought provoking topic, to be sure. And I've been struggling with this very question for years now. I waver back and forth.

  4. interesting, to say the least, but I've experienced too much and have seen much more to even think that God wasn't real. I believe the materialists, or whatever they call themselves, suffer from the lack of faith and trust. You need to see things to believe them and you base things on fact. In order to experience the power of God (capitol G), you must experience, see, or feel it. If you mind is closed at the possibility, then you're not gonna experience, see or feel anything. God only works and is evident when you believe by faith, which in a way is the "On" button. If you never push the button, you'll never see the realness of God!

    That's my take on things. No offense to anyone... and I apologize if I did offend...

  5. As a Religious Scientist, I believe that we all are God expressing Himself as each individual person. Thus, every perspective is necessary for our evolution, even the materialist.

    I do believe in God, I believe we are all products of Intelligent Design, however, sometimes its necessary to disbelieve to seek and find higher truth...

    I LOVED this post!

  7. I don't understand all that Mr Darwin or Dawkins are talking about. All I know today is that God is real. But I didn't always understand or believe it. I used to ask myself that if God existed, where exactly does he live & how come we never see him. And how do we even know that HE's there. But all that changed for me in 2003.

    And I don't think the change happened because I had suddenly developed a fear of living. Life was great, I was excited. I had just been accepted to a postgraduate degree I had always wanted. But things started to change when my mind started becoming blank. I couldn't read & understand course material & I could no longer understand what the lecturer was on about. I couldn't understand what was going on & it was scary. There was a blackness I could 'see' in my mind & it was blocking out everything. I knew I was in trouble. But I didn't have psychological problems or a fear of living.

    A thought came to me that I needed to go to a particular church. I was not a church person, having stayed out God & church's way for 10 years. No one at home attended this church & I remember they not understanding how I landed in this church.

    And I went through changes. My diet changed. I could no longer eat meat/spices/sugar/salt. The food made me sick. I lived on vegetables for a while. I startes being controlled by the spirit. I would cry in church, for no particular reason that I could see I would fall & my body would become rigid. A whole lot things were happening.

    And I started to have visions. I didn't know if the things I saw were real or just meaningless dreams. But then things I saw would come true. Like the deaths of my uncle & dad. I saw my uncle's deaths two years before he passed away & also two weeks before his actual death. With my dad, I had a vision of death a year before he died. I see so many things that happen in real life. I don't know if Mr Darwin would still call that abnormalities in my brain. Or would that be mere coincidences? And yes, I have had a vision of God. Twice. I have seen the devil many times. I travel to place & do things & when I wake up I'm tired.

    For me, that's evidence of a spiritual world. If anyone wants evidence in the sense that they want to see with their naked eye & touch with their hands, I don't know about that. A physical world is different from a spiritual world. The words 'physical' & 'spiritual' attest to the nature of the worlds we are talking about.

    That's all I know babes. As to whether I have abnormalities in my brain (despite the fact that things I see come true) or have developed some fear of living - I'll leave that to the experts.
