To me, human beings as a creation of God has this sense of eternity inbuilt in us, so we naturally would seek for purpose and meaning in life which can be only found in God himself. Those who refute it will be trying to fill their lives with all sorts of stuff but will not be able to find anything big enough (in the eternal sense) to fully occupy that space.pearliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17142595255771626179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749955731953911627.post-87910000405529539112016-06-13T09:11:04.572-05:002016-06-13T09:11:04.572-05:00I agree with you Debby.

"...@Mike - The article says something similar:<br /><br /><i>""This project does not set out to prove God or gods exist. Just because we find it easier to think in a particular way does not mean that it is true in fact," he said.<br /><br />Both atheists and religious people could use the study to argue their sides, Trigg told CNN."</i><br /><br />Early in life I think that the (non) beliefs of parents probably have a huge influence on a person's perspective. Other influences impact the person as they get older and they often change what they believe.<br /><br />If I remember your story you stopped believing in God but feel that nothing really influenced you in that direction. But I may be mistaken about that.kc bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17440862813109808755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749955731953911627.post-81426226312699398012011-05-30T06:35:18.539-05:002011-05-30T06:35:18.539-05:00It's interesting, this is one of those questio...It's interesting, this is one of those questions that I see some people fervently defending one side or the other. I think we are all prone to a certain amount of magical thinking and irrationality, regardless of what our world view is.<br /><br />I know people who have been atheists their whole lives and some who have never known a life without believing in God. What does this mean? I don't know. My feelings can be summed up by the following lyrics from one of my all time favorite songs.<br /><br />"There's a song that they sing when they take to the highway - A song that they sing when they take to the sea - A song that they sing of their home in the sky - Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep - But singing works just fine for me"Mike aka MonolithTMAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08385705390882035829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749955731953911627.post-17237962804209654102011-05-29T16:36:59.904-05:002011-05-29T16:36:59.904-05:00I have my father's and my mother's DNA.

They would have had a large part in forming me and influencing me. <br /><br />So I think it probably is with the one I believe created me--God.Joe Baronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10275991273751678636noreply@blogger.com
