    No you don't. This is the basis behind agnoticism. An open minded skepticism that allows discovery but doesn't bind you to a given concept.

    I'm with Einstein: (a) God exists, and (b) He doesn't play dice with the universe. My research begins and ends on that point, so if someone can't or won't accept that, it is better if we work separately. And I'm not talking about you here - I'm talking in general.

    I'm with the other guys, Bohr, God does play dice with the universe, because controlling everything gets boring after a few eons. Much better to see what rises from the chaos that we create for ourselves.

    I don't believe this; I am not a pantheist. I believe that God is separate and distinct from his creation.

    No immanence huh? Even Jesus believed in this. The kindom of heaven is within us. We are the cells of God.

    According to the Bible, man was created "in the image of God", and is not, in the sense you suggest, part of God who is uncreated altogether. If we were mere "cells of God" we would be unable to create - which is the characteristic that both sets us apart from other living things and makes us like God, that is, in His image. The cells in my toenails are neither in my image, nor do they actively create; I, however, have been made in the image of God, and I do create. But I am not God or even part of God in the sense that you suggest.

      I disagree. And the bible isn't an authority to me. Its a book. It has some good and some questionable. But I choose to think for myself.

      If you insist.
