A Treatise For God, Part 1

"Whether one passes on or remains is all the same./That you can take no one with you is the only difference./Ah, how pleasant! Two awakenings and one sleep./This dream of a fleeing world! The roseate hues of early dawn!"
--Tokugawa Ieyasu (1542-1616)
"I don't know where you get your delusions, Laserbrain"
--Leia to Han Solo, The Empire Strikes Back
"Nothing unreal exists."
--Vulcan Thinker Kiri-kin-tha, 1st Law of Vulcan Metaphysics

From a theological standpoint, one could say that US is a religion's nightmare. Really. One group of people want to end religions and churches, the other wishes to establish more religion that mirrors the old testament type of faith. I'll post a bibliography as I post the parts to this series.

Neither seem to get it, and all our problems stem from it. First off, note that I am not going to state separation of church, or argue any of the usual foul stuff. The first admendment is intended to free us to worship, not end worship.

My point and argument is to argue that God exists, and that the bible is actually based on some truth. However, I will condemn only those who are blind to religion and choose to be so.
The atheist basis on science to prove god doesn't exist, is the most flawed idea I've ever heard: "You see what is there" is the argument. Science cannot prove or disprove the existence of a God or other higher being, since that being is obviously beyond the comprehension of science.
I'm refering to Descartes and his basic premise: That the senses are fake. The only truth there has to be reasoned. Using this he was able to prove he existed ("I think therefore I am"). This lead him to prove there was a God by stating that someone had to of been perfect in order to design him, therefore God existed.

What Descartes said, was simple: The senses are false. Don't believe what you just see. I'm inclined to agree. Apply this to modern thought, and one realizes that science cannot be taken at its face value, that is, it cannot be the end all be all for everthing. Science is by its nature malleable, and frequent to change.
