  1. If you're looking for proof of a creator, you're thinking with the wrong frame. There are two types of 'things that are right/correct,' I call them truth and fact. Facts are objective things that happen (which are true for everyone, but ultimately mean very little to us), truth is our subjective interpretation of what happened, which is exclusive to each person. Example: - Truth: He threw that shoe at me. (contains inherent interpretation of intention and is subjective) - Fact: The muscles in his arm combined with the laws of physics caused the shoe to travel through the air at a speed of ... etc. (this is not just a more technical way of saying the first sentence, it is different because there is no implied interpretation of behavior) We tend to make everything into truth because it's simpler that way, truth tells us how to act, fact comes with no such prescription. Truth means everything to us, facts mean very little to the everyday decisions we make. In the above example, let's pretend like the person who threw the shoe was your spouse and did it during a fight. How would you react? Compare that to another pretend situation where a mentally challenged individual threw the shoe at you without realizing what he was doing. I don't believe in God the way anyone else does, my beliefs/actions could just as well be atheism as they are theism. That being said, Our belief in God doesn't have a place in the realm of fact because fact is utterly meaningless to most of our decisions about our lives. Trying to prove or disprove the existence of God is like trying to scientifically prove that the mentally challenged person did or did not intend to throw the shoe at you. Even if you could somehow find evidence for or against God (other than circumstantial interpretations), it would ultimately be meaningless. Nobody is going to believe in God because someone else tells them to. That's what's so great about it, ultimately it's up to us to decide how to view the world, how to interpret the events we see. Anyone who tries to force you to either believe or disbelieve in God does not have your best interests in mind. Figure it out for yourself, if you care.
  2. I'm pretty sure they opened up a new philosophy factor over in green bay...
  3. Eventually the US dollar will collapse when the world decides it's done buying our debt. Then, shit will really go down and yeah, China will probably come out on top.
  4. It's the same as this one, "JCMiller"
  5. Hey guys, new account here, old time web designer (10+ years ago) just getting back into it. I tried to login to cpanel via both methods listed here: (http://wiki.helionet.org/How_to_access_cPanel), neither works ("The login is invalid"). I used my original password to no avail so I tried resetting it and get the same thing. Any ideas?
  6. I think for us individually, it's to figure out what we want to do and do it.... on a deep level. The reason most people are unhappy is because they don't do what they want, they do what someone else tells them to do (or the collective someone else i.e. society). By doing what we want and being honest with ourselves about the results we grow. By growing individually, we evolve as a species.
