Creation and the creative process

Post #1

Post by Being1 »

I am wanting to present a new view on creation. A view that I believe has the potential to settle argument between the creationist and evolutionist. Is this the place to do so? Is anyone interested? Or would that spoil the game?

You are supposed to present an "arguement" if you will, not ask people if they are interested in one. Lay it out there or not, it's up to you. We are not going to get on our knees and beg. Just do it or not...welcome btw.

Ok. Just testing the water. Could it be that the answer to the fundamental questions we ask ourselves (like who am I, how did I get here, what is the meaning, how does it work etc) are not to found through theories such as evolution, or beliefs such as creationism. They are to found through observing the closest thing to us when it comes to creation - ourselves. By observing the creativity of our own being, we can come to understand creativity at a larger scale, ie the creation of the universe, and how all things come into being. Then there can be agreement, and then some peace.

Sounds very Vedantic to me.

I know nothing about 'Vedantic'. But through observing the creativity of our own being, we can begin to understand the nature of creation. We can begin to understand gravity, and atomic structure, strong and weak nuclear forces. We can address fundamental questions.

Pity..it is an intersting philosophy.

Nothing is created or destroyed...it just changes in form.

I sense you are almost wetting yourself waiting to tell us.

You're correct. Creation is a misleading word. Manifestaion would be much better...

You might also consider that only that is real which does not change or cease to appear to exist.

Sir, you are shadow boxing. Cut to it or you will lose our interest.

If that is your belief. If that serves you. But if you are considering anything, then you cannot be the truth of which you speak.
