Vibe: That's half the reason I haven't made a religious commitment yet, is because I don't know everything about everything regarding every religion. Sometimes I actually feel the faith itself is more important than what name you put on your faith.
Water: Some also argue that religion was more or less a primitive way of controlling the masses. Do you agree?
It makes sense, but there are also so many things that don't. Which is why religion is still prevalent. No one can, nor do I believe will they ever be able to, understand and know all the answers.
Seth: True in some cases, carbon dating has indeed disproved LITERAL creationism (i.e. Literal Creationism has Genesis taking place at 4400 B.C.) but there is no way known to man at this time to effectively prove it one way or another.
The reason I'm still without faith is because I refuse to take the easy answers. Just because someone THINKS they've figured it out doesn't necessarily make it so. "God created the universe" "No, asshole, the Big Bang did!"
I personally believe it always was, and always will be, and infinity IS a hard concept to grasp, and it's not quite an easy answer, but truly, how does humanity know? Short of being able to travel back to the exact moment, how will we ever know?
