The discussion revolves around the philosophical question of whether, if God exists, He would believe in Himself. Participants explore the implications of God's omniscience and the nature of belief, suggesting that doubt is incompatible with an all-knowing being. The conversation delves into the definitions of consciousness and existence, questioning whether a conscious being can exist without an objective reality. Some argue that God, as a form of consciousness, must exist independently of the material world, while others emphasize the importance of an objective world for subjective experiences to have meaning. The dialogue also touches on the relationship between science and religion, with suggestions for collaboration to address environmental issues, highlighting the need for both rational thought and emotional understanding in human experience. Ultimately, the thread reflects on the complexity of existence, consciousness, and the potential for a spiritual dimension beyond the physical realm.

We have the means, it is just that we don't do it, and that has to do that we inhereted from the process of evolution the feauture of self-care. If we hadn't been caring for our existence, we would not have got here.
But don't you think it would be in our "best interest" to care for the environment?

And here's an idea. What do you think about the possibility of science and religion getting together and starting some sort of grass roots organization?

What do you think of materialism and science staying close together, and religious people convert themselves to that new outlook on reality, and drop the ancient one.

No, because science represents the mind and religion represents the heart, and you really can't have a whole human being unless you have both.

Anyway the trend is pretty much going this way already, and yet I think if science were to adopt one or two tenets about religion, then maybe the religious people could align themselves more with science and be more pragmatic about their stay here on earth, and then maybe we could put "our hearts" where only our mind is right now (about cleaning up the planet).

My heart is with science, not with religion.

Nah, I say the AI companys need to focus on a robot to clean up the envrioment for us.

Atleast, there is more of a chance of that happening.
