MEEPNORK...you made a reference to religion (or lack thereof) in a previous post, and i've been meaning to discuss this with you a little. believe it or not, your question is a little ambiguous, in the sense that different religions hold different perceptions of God. basically, i feel that the difference amongst different religions is what leads to people developing the athiest mentality. my mother's family is episcopalian, and my father's family is baptist. i grew up going to baptist churches, where God is "the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Ghost." In my belief, Jesus is the only way for God to be depicted as a "man." when i think of God, i don't see a man, mountains, water, aliens, etc....to me, God is much like your reference to "traveling dimensions," something that you feel exist, but man hasn't reached.

you have to understand that the FAITH is what carries us through life. it doesn't matter if it's faith in higher power, or faith in the power of man. the only thing about athiest that bothers me (and i'm glad you haven't gone there yet) is how they taunt religious believers about being hypocrites. in my faith, we learned that man will never be perfect, and Jesus was sacraficed to clense us of our sins. true, there's a good amount of us that take that to another level...yet, and still, man will never be perfect. lol, to be honest with you...although i'm christian, i believe the first REAL "bible" (for lack of a better term), is the Quran (that's a hypocrite right?). scientist have proven that "scientific Adam" originated in the middle east. you might say "well why aren't you muslim?" well, the REAL Quran isn't supposed to be translated, and i only know english and german lol.

when i think of the effects God has on man, i think of things like the design of our bodies. have you thought about how difficult it is to "duplicate" human beings and other living animals? sure, science has touched on cloning, but what about THE FIRST human being... i find it hard to believe that in the Universe...better yet...just on Earth alone...there were tiny cells or whatever that just got together and said "let's create a large ecosystem...some of you will be humans, some will be animals, some will be plants, some will be resources, etc. for those of you that're humans, you'll be at the top of the food chain, and will be responsible for maintaining all of this. you guys ready? IT'S MORPHIN' TIME!"
