Stephen Hawkin&#8217;s &#8216;hot&#8217; new debate"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>No, actually He does not. Neither does She. Neither does any religion push the existence of an individual as God. Buddha denied the existence of God except as the idea of &#8216;nothingness&#8217;. Christ was the Son (and therefore born of) God that is Eternal and the Light. The Prophet Mohammad was the Prophet through whom God the Almighty and Omnipresent spoke. The fundamentals of Hinduism are based on the idea&#8217;s of an eternity that encompasses all existence as described by Krishna (or at least revealed to) Arjun in the Bhagvad Geeta.  Each religion has attempted to expand the concept of God to include ideas of universal eternal love and compassion.<\/p>\n<p>I sometimes feel people keep raising these issues to sell their books or to get on to TV shows.<\/p>\n<p>Of course science will go continue to expand the frontiers of knowledge in the logical understanding of our Universe. And wise philosophers and spiritualists will continue to co opt that part of science that somehow corresponds with concepts of centuries old spiritualists. Such as quantum physics. But while science can give us many theories to describe love, can it give us the experience of love ?  And are experience and analysis the same thing ? No they are not. <\/p>\n<p>There in lies the difference. We live in an infinite universe that we must describe and measure in finite terms for it to be &#8216;scientific&#8217;. The ideas of infinity can only come as mathematical possibilities with a &#8216;constant&#8217; always needed to complete the infinite equation. More often than not that &#8216;constant&#8217; is the assumption of &#8216;non linearity of time&#8217; . Which will be proven no doubt, but to a human ego existing and addicted to the idea of linearity of time, &#8216;eternity&#8217; is essentially incomprehensible other than in moments of expansive emotions of &#8216;faith&#8217; and &#8216;love&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>The spiritualists describe the Universe as infinite probabilities. Infinite potential. It exists as you imagine it does. In fact it exists and does not exist at the same moment.<\/p>\n<p>So does God also exist and not exist at the same time ? Is there a &#8216;being&#8217; that is pulling all the strings of the Universe according to huge design ? Yes, if the design is infinite. And encompasses all possibilities that gives infinite choice. The idea being not someone or somebody that controls the Universe , but a Universe that is consistently creating and destroying itself.<\/p>\n<p>Can there be a scientific equation that &#8216;explains&#8217; the Universe ? Yes, if you could find an equation that is consistently evolving and destroying itself, refusing to be a static defined representation of our infinite existence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No, actually He does not.
