I'm going to stick to Atheism on this one.  If there is any form of a creator then it had to come into existence somewhere along the lines by some means.  This just creates a never ending golden ratio.  So its pretty safe to say that there is nothing that is divine, just not currently understandable.  Atheist deny the existence of a deity.  A deity is nothing more than a supernatural immortal divine being.  So being atheist doesn't necessary mean you deny the existence of a creator or method of creation.  Agnosticism differs from my beliefs by adhering to the belief that certain things just can't be known, and thus the existence of a deity can not be fully believed in but it also can not be ruled out. 




creation itself is the creator

you are creator. i am creator

if you are alive, you are creator. if you are having an experience, you are creating it

Yep, definitely not understandable from the physical reality point of view. All of our science and understanding is based on causality (cause and effect). But that implies that there must be some type of mystical (acsual) beginning to it all - a first cause or uncaused cause. This doesn't make sense. I think our reality seems to be a sphere, or subsystem, within a larger system.

Everything is better than it was the last time.  I'm good.

If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care.

It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence.

I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too.  If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

I'd say theist, except a lot of ignorant people have all kinds of limited preconceptions about what that entails.

well to be honest its pretty straight forward.  Atheist say that deity's don't exist, Theists believe they do, and agnostics say its impossible to tell.  It's all a question of weather or not you believe that the idea of divinity exists.  Personally i adhere to the idea that nothing is divine so that lumps me in with atheist, although i do believe in taoist philosophy it doesn't change the fact that by definition i'm still atheist.

agnostics then, B/c it goes back to definition, and things that you attribute to them. Science is the new "god"  divinity is just attributed to things that cannot be comprehended. What about Alien theory, such as either beings made us, or we evolved from alien beings that came here, or was brought here by asteroids or what ever. B/c humans have created synthetic life in cells,  would that make the Scientist divine Gods?(Only a hand full of scientist can do it). By definition since they are the "creators" of life that would make them God?

Science is nothing more than the pursuit of empirical knowledge.  If somebody happens to be atheist or agnostic and bases most of their knowledge upon empirical data, it doesn't mean that they consider their "god" to be science.  I would say that god and deity are the same by idea and definition.  Even believing in alien theory doesn't mean that you are theist.  I believe that the words god and creator should be considered separate when debating the semantics over divinity.

Science is nothing more than the pursuit of empirical knowledge.

And it doesn't suggest anything about the beliefs of the one pursuing that knowledge.

Sure, it suggests that they're curious about the world and self aware enough to acknowledge when they don't know something.
