Genesis, 2001, and Darwin
Numsgil:
An interesting note:
God is the father of all of us on Earth. There have been billions of humans, and if you count every human from the start to the end, that's alot.
Which would lend us to think it's an r-selection reproductive system, which has (as quoted in my freshman, 20 year old bio textbook):
early age of first reproduction
large brood size
single breeding season
small, numerous offspring
no parental care
short generation time
large reproductive effort per brood.
Yet religion claims that God is involved in the lives of all men. That implies active parenting, which is k-selection, which has:
delayed reproduction
small broods
multiple breeding seasons
few, large offspring
parental care
long generation time
smaller reproductive effort per brood.
This just doesn't add up! I guess having billions of children isn't considered a large brood size for an immortal, omniscient, omnipotent God. And don't ask me how he managed it with small broods (and what would multiple breeding seasons mean in this case?)
Old Henk:
Lots of interesting philosophical ideas on God here! I think it's good things like this are discussed.
From my point of view, I think we humans cannot comprehend who God is and why He does certain things. Some filosepher(?) said: "To be able to understand ourselves, we'd need a bigger brain."
If we can't understand ourselves, how can we understand God, who is definately superior to us?

I agree to a point, but we should still be able to understand something of his motives, if not his methods. Even if not directly than through metaphor.
And that purpose? To bring his children to heaven. So why would he send them away in the first place if all he wants is to bring them back? There must be something useful to the experience of living on earth.

Face it. He is just playing with us.
We are some kind of gigantic game. (see my story posted earlier)
