Debate: Is there God?
Side: Yes

Sorry, my mistake. Then yeah, I don't disagree with being "spiritual" I don't like the term personally because it implies a belief in superstition.Superstition? Here is a quote from Neil DeGrasse Tyson, who is an atheist: "Not only are we in the universe, the universe is in us. I don't know of any deeper spiritual feeling than what that brings upon me."A spiritual feeling can pretty much be summed up as a feeling of oneness.How can anything be bound by time? Time doesn't exist, you can't be bound to something that doesn't exist."You're assuming God is bound by time, as in aging."I did not mean time in the literal sense. You know I think time is an illusion. I meant aging.Doesn't matter if god is eternal, or never aging, god is intelligent, and you asserted that intelligence can't come from non-intelligence, so god would have had to come from an intelligence no?No. If he has always existed, he would not have come from anything. He would be the ultimate source of intelligence. If god didn't come from an intelligence, then we have intelligence coming from non-intelligence, proving intelligence can come from non-intelligence, making an intelligence behind our intelligence unnecessary.No, we have intelligence always existing. Maybe, like energy, consciousness can be neither created nor destroyed. Maybe it isn't intelligence being created, maybe it is the same intelligence just multiplying, or growing. This at least fits for my idea, which is that God is our higher Self.Because their still isn't a reason to...You just haven't found a reason. There is a difference. By your mindset, we can say that it is safe to assume that there is no reason to believe anything regarding what created us, agreed?So intelligence, came from an intelligence, that didn't come from an intelligence because it just has always existed. Totally legit.This sort of stuff only sounds crazy to people because they haven't taken enough time to think about it. Intelligence came from an intelligence that has always existed, that is what I believe. However, I don't think our intelligence is separate from the ultimate intelligence. So, the intelligence that has always existed, is the only intelligence that has ever existed.Think of it like water. I can pour water into separate cups, I can mix the water with different ingredients, I can make the water evaporate, I can freeze the water, I can do so many different things with the same water, and disguise it from what it ultimately is. When you drink tea or coffee, you don't think water... But the water is still there. Water from one bottle used to make coffee, tea, ice, steam... Is still the same water. So, like water, intelligence can be found "hiding" behind many different things... Humans, animals, insects... Some people even think that plants have some sort of intelligence, but what if it is all just one intelligence/consciousness that has taken several different forms?There is a purpose as to why I am typing on this laptop, not necessarily their is a purpose to the existence of everything.There may be. Without food and water we'd die. Without plants and animals, we wouldn't have food. Without the sun and water, we wouldn't have anything. Really, the conditions are just right... But the question is, is there a purpose behind all of it, or did we just luck out?
