This is nonsense, please ignore it. The guy is on medication. I apologise for his post. He is not well.
I have spent a couple of hours reading through the religious threads and some of the beddeckers replies, and he has showed himself in a completely different light than I thought he was from this post and reply links
However, as a thinking being, I tried to weed out the useful information from the bullshit
And my beliefs are still a bit rocked
I have not thought that there could be something that started the big bang and created order, I mean I did.. But not in this way, and the machine like stuff got to me a bit too
How do you know he is on medication?
Just a hunch. Sometimes his replies are coherent. But when he is cornered or his medication wears off he just mumbles some random thoughts, contradicting himself, just becomes paranoid.
As for the complexity of the universe, the way the physical laws work, the way life originated etc. Of course it is very intricate, it seems very unlikely it happened by chance, but it did. The conditions for life are just right in this universe and our planet. But we just discovered billions of other planets so the universe might be full of alien life. Who knows.
Saying that God did it in 6 days 6000 years ago is just showing lack of understanding of basic physics, biology and geology of Earth and the observable universe. Saying that evolution is a lie is just not very sincere or flat out ignorant.
It is a cop-out by ignorant people who do not want to look further. Teaching or even repeating religious nonsense is just irresponsible.
I completely agree with what you said
I am certainly not doubting evolution or saying earth is 6000 years old
It just crossed my mind that a 'god' might have started the big bang in such perfect fashion
Of course this 'god' would be nothing like the gods we are taught about through the Bible, Quran and Torah
If there are 100 000s of gods worldwide only a madman can think his god is the right one, and all others will burn in hell for paganism and idolatry
Now you're thinking.
There's no reason to believe in a particular god, other than the god you read about, even if you do believe in some sort of creator.
Re: your question about why everything started in such a perfect fashion, consider this. Imagine there were a million universes, 999,999 with no life whatsoever (due to the laws of physics, which may have been different in each one), and 1 that randomly produced life, which evolved so far as to question its own existence.
That one universe is not "special" in any way, it could just be a product of randomness. But seeing as it contains the only form of life advanced enough to question its own existence, does that make it special? There was no life in the 999,999 other universes to ask these questions, but in the one that we happen to live in, the conditions were perfect for life to evolve to ask that question. So how do we know that we are not a product of randomness?
From the New Testament we know that Jesus was not particularly interested in any kind of money. He said, "Give to Caesar his part". What can be understood as: "people, pay taxes". This is not a bitcoin philosophy, definitely.

In the beginning is the word and word is -- bitcoin. Who knows, maybe money is just an illusion and the reality behind it is bitcoin and that by finding bitcoin we will achieve enlightenment, we will find Truth.
Oh wait, this is supposed to be about the Judeo-Christian/Islamic god right? Must be in the wrong thread... I'll leave now.

I think this is just another cheap question that is generating cheap answer and replies here lol. For people who believe in God as the creator, everything in this world and the universe belong to him. For those that do not believe in God, we have nothing to talk about.
You forgot 2 words: ''Free will''.
Yes, we are not robots but human beings with free will.
So, we can do with our free will whatever we wants, to do good or bad things.
God can prepare many great ideas and things for us, but Lucifer also offer us a lot evil things.
It's our responsibility what we will choose on the end.
Can you force your own children to do only good things in their life?
I don't think so.
They will do both good and evil and parents can just hope that, eventually, they will become good people, not bad or evil.
If you read story about ''Prodigal son'' in the Bible, you will perfectly understand God's hearth toward us.

I'm sure that God wants us to be happy, connected, and have easier life.
His intention is not that we suffer but to enjoy nice life.
Internet is, in some way, as spiritual world, because we can overcome time and space.
Bitcoin is one of the best tools on Internet, so I'm sure it comes with God's blessing.

So long as Bitcoin is given in church for donation then God deems Bitcoin A-OKAY! 
Haggai 2:8 The silver is mine and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts. Does God also own all the Bitcoins?
Well i am a man of God so i believe he owns bitcoin
Why? because he owns us for he is our creator then we create something very nice and great to other people so he owns the world in other words he owns it all but we feel free to live because we have our own will to decide whom ever you want in your mind its because God can't judge people only he loves people by his Goodness of his heart so i believe that God very owns the bitcoin and he had a human supporting it so a human created bitcoin God will only just support that human as his wish to do with bitcoin God shall very agree on what shall happened he only just supporting his son to a brightest future so atheist i don't blame you if you don't believe in God but surely someday you will believe Thank you! have a nice day! Haggai 2:8 The silver is mine and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts. Does God also own all the Bitcoins?
The lord of hosts?? You mean Anthony Hopkins?
Haha Ford is
He was referring to Westworld. Anthony Hopkins created a world of humanoids who are called hosts
As Harrison is a big regilious person too.
Try and watch the whole series, it's well worth it. There are multiple narratives which seem confusing at first, but everything comes together in the end. One of the best TV adaptations for years IMO, great acting/writing and some very interesting philosophical questions. I really enjoyed it, even though the pacing in the first half of the series is a little slow.
No, the God of the universe, Who is shown to exist in many ways like these:

WOW!
This...
This made me question my beliefs
I was raised as a Christian, only to figure with vast certainty that God is an imaginary being, I lived so far around 5 years as an agnostic and an atheist only to have my belief rocked right now, after 5 years (20 yo btw)
Damn
I... I... Can't..
This.. Damn
I'm wondering do you believe in a "soul"?
I can grasp an idea of a "creator", but I cannot grasp an idea of a creator who cares about what we do (10 commandments etc.)
The similarity between Bitcoin and god: both are based on beliefs
there is absolutely no way to connect bitcoin and god on any reasonable level whatsoever.

Doesn't look like anything to me.
But from your post I can deduce the word "god" which isn't referring to the Almighty God, so who were you talking about?
Probably one of the numerous false ones about. You get lots of those about nowadays.
God owns everything in the heavens and on earth, that's including the coins, like you quoted Scriptures, silver and gold is his. Likewise Bitcoin. But from your post I can deduce the word "god" which isn't referring to the Almighty God, so who were you talking about?
How can you know that? Just because? Did he tell you that? Is it written somewhere? Stop saying "it's god" to every argument, it's stupid and ignorant.
