SERIOUS DISCUSSION: Your thoughts on existence?

[Seb]

No matter how farfetched, just post it.


Mine is that all existence is happening at any one point, there is no past or present, there is only what we're experiencing. Anything that happens is fated and affects us all in some way. It would be impossible to change something via time travel or knowing the future because it would've already happened, and your time traveling change to what happened is in reality what actually DID happen. All existence is a film, and we only move forward on that film or, in the case of time travel, backwards.

I came up with it after watching a "That's So Raven" rerun, to be honest.

Sometimes, I've thought this reality was all a dream.

Like, we're all figments of one persons subconscious in a coma or something. Deja-vu is parts of their reality replaying itself, and how multiple people can have the same 'dream'.

i'm a fan of string theory
but i can't quite decide if the universe just keeps happening or if there are deviations.

honestly, the only reason we exist is the same reason any organism exists; reproduction
we just got so smart that now only stupid people reproduce.
crazy fucking world
isn't it

We are a highly advanced version of Sims played by Martians.


Also I think there was another universe before us, considering the "Big Crunch" theory is true, I like this theory because then it means the Universe acts like a beating heart.

The more I think about it, the more real it becomes.

Why are you so sure that we exist?

[Cheesicle]

God created all of us. We exist only because he made us.

[c0mp1337]

God created all of us. We exist only because he made us.

if god created us, who created him/her?

[Rocket50]

Why are you so sure that we exist?

We don't. Reality in your perspective could be just a figment that was created by your mind that you cannot distinguish from reality.

Nevermind. It's too late.

[Bovicide]

if god created us, who created him/her?

And if you say he didnt need to be created , its only a hop skip and jump to saying "the universe didnt need to be created."

[c0mp1337]

now that you put it that way...

[Cheesicle]

if god created us, who created him/her?

No humans know, but I'll be sure to ask him if I get to heaven

[Don]

Oh boy sense-making religions sure are about to arrive in this thread.

If god is real and created us because he loves us so much, why does he kill our race in the most painful ways possible?
And why does alien life exist?
