WHAT IS GOD?

Knowledge changes our perception of the world

NOW WE KNOW

The Earth is not flat

NOW WE KNOW The Earth is not flat The universe is not centered

NOW WE KNOW The Earth is not flat The universe is not centered Gravitation is not attraction

There is a fundamental conception UNCHANGEABLE

It’s God Why? What is God?

God is: An image; A person; A superperson; Nature; A supernature; And so on

Our perceptions are the same as in ANCIENT times Why? Because there is no clear definition

We believe when we don’t know Then we all are believers Including atheists

Carl Gustav Jung (1875–1961) Implicitly he suggested

God is NOT: An image; A person; A superperson; Nature; A supernature; And so on

God is the ACTION That joins 1 & 2 to create 3 1 is Human2 is Nature 3 depends on God or Human

1 + 2 = 3 Human Nature or Human JesusGOD

I don’t believe in God, I know Him

WHY BELIEVERS BELIEVE IN SUPERSOMEONE

We believe when we don’t know What about believers? What don’t they know?

They find around evidences of God’s existence What about believers? What don’t they know?

Nothing wrong in belief EVEN FOR SCIENTISTS

Celestial mechanicians believe Will the asteroid collide with the planet? Yes ( 5%) vs. No (95%) PROBABILITY THEORYBELIEF THEORY

Believers would conclude: “There is a Will of God for that!” I would object: “Don’t attribute to God what belongs to Nature.”

Believers would conclude: “There is a Will of God for that!” I would object: “Don’t attribute to God what belongs to Nature.” REALLY! Any chance is a combination of many small natural laws we are unable to catch

PROCESS random + deterministic = something like ALIVE

TWO BEETLES

IT’S JUST A TOY

A GAME of CHANCES makes us feel some LIFE in the world Whose is this LIFE? The LIFE is of SUPERSOMEONE we don’t know ?

A GAME of CHANCES makes us feel some LIFE in the world Whose is this LIFE? The LIFE is of SUPERSOMEONE we don’t know no GOD but NATURE

BELIEVERS CONFUSE GOD WITH NATURE!
