Monsieur LeDoux, I'm somewhat surprised that you appear to seriously believe in the existence of intelligent life ON EARTH:-</p>

Every culture tries to figure out these basic mysteries.</p>
<p>But the answers are hugely diverse. Some cultures posit a personal god, some an impersonal god, some (like the Taoists in China) a universal cosmic force. So there's no agreement about the nature of "God."</p>
<p>Further, your argument that because we have an idea of god, god must exist, doesn't hold water. Descartes tried to make that argument and it didn't work for him either. Most cultures have the idea of fairies, or similar sorts of spirits. </p>
<p>Does this mean that fairies must exist? I can have the idea of a half-dog, half-cat creature. So does this mean the creature actually exists? Ideas aren't reality. Humans can imagine lots of things that aren't true. The history of science and pseudo-science proves that.<br />

"God" is a universal concept that is inherent in the minds of all humans, regardless of culture. where does this idea come from? when was it first thought? Did it arrise with our entry into consciousness or do whales have a concept of "God"? we may not know "what" God is, but THAT God is is beyond any doubt as a result of the fact that the idea "God" seems to preceed all other ideas.</p>chris commented on 'Why I’m not a Christian'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451c0aa69e200d8346f757c69e22005-01-18T06:10:37Z2007-08-16T16:29:28Zchrishttp://www.peoplebooksandchrist.blogspot.comThe great irony of aethism is that aethists spend most of their time talking about God.
