Somebody has to say it....I love that song "laughing with God"

<3

@tbutler419 Okay...why do people turn to God when in trouble? People have a different mindset from having faith they'll be here tomorrow and the next day and the day after that, then they do when they are staring. That's when many start questioning "what if." So, string theory is not, but the particle theory, and what makes us up, and that matter must be observed to exist...that's been proven. My view of God is different. God is light, or love, that we are all an extension of.

[tbutler419]

@rcnoe71 You brought up string theory, but did not know you were talking about it. I mentioned it only to give a name to what YOU were already talking about, and to point out that it IS NOT PROVEN. But the question still lingers, what does this have to do with this video, or with people running to god when they are in trouble. My point remains the same - I will never seek god, just like I don't seek any other made up entity. You really ramble on about irrelevant nonsense.

@tbutler419 I'm not sure why you brought up the string theory...I brought up the general topic of physics, relating to humanity and our ability to create our reality. A U.S. Gvt. test was conducted with particles/waves. Separate observers making the same observation, yet the one who perceived he'd see particles, saw particles. The one who perceived he'd see waves, saw waves. This proved mans reality is subjective to the observe, and isn't objective and can change based on perception

[tbutler419]

@rcnoe71 And isnt that whole "everything is just vibrating energy waves" part of the string theory, which still has holes in it? I don't do math at all, I didn't make it past calculus, but from what I remember hearing from Michio Kaku on the History channel or something is that string theory is still being worked on, and we are waiting for it all to click into place. To say it has been proven is a lie, you weirdo. I really don't know why you are even talking about this to begin with.

[tbutler419]

@rcnoe71 Whatever we are made of, we still have to live by the rules of nature. I cannot dream of a nice beach and wake up in Tahiti. I cannot dream of a hot girl and wake up next to Eva Longoria. All these quotes of yours, how is this relevant to what we started talking about? There is no reason to think that because I don't fully understand quantum mechanics, as you don't either, that I should believe in god or some other nonsense.

[tbutler419]

@rcnoe71 That is all unimportant to our day to day lives. Good quote collecting, useless as it may be. Our brains have evolved to let us think that all this stuff is solid because that is the only useful way for us to perceive the world. What is your point? We are not actually dreams of ourselves. We are real.

[rcnoe71]

@tbutler419 What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality. -Plutarch, Man, alone, has the power to transform his thoughts into physical reality; man, alone, can dream and make his dreams come true. -Napoleon Hill, Our intention creates our reality. -Wayne Dyer, Everything you can imagine is real. -Pablo Picasso, Few people have the imagination for reality. -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, What is reality anyway! It’s nothing but a collective hunch. -Jane Wagner AN ILLUSION.

[rcnoe71]

@tbutler419 Much with quantum physics has been proven. Einstein said, "Reality is merely an illusion." It's been proven that physical matter, weather a human, animal, mineral, are comprised of the same energy, and the speed by which it vibrates creates the illusion of solidity. It's been found out brains create the illusion of physical reality. Some of the reports I've read on the subject, surprisingly enough, were requested and paid for by the U.S. Army. 

[tbutler419]

@rcnoe71 That whole second sentence makes no sense at all. About the last part, are you talking about string theory? That is a theory that people are working on, but still has gaps, and to say it is proven is a lie. Also, to conclude that it means we are dreams of ourselves is a stretch. You clearly don't know what you are talking about. No wonder you fall back on god, this world is too much for you to handle.
