After several cups of coffee that helped remedy my headache, I got up out of my chair and went to my first love (outside of God, and family), the computer. I jogged around the blogtalkradio network looking for a show that might interest me. I found one. They were discussing the existence of God. I missed the first hour 1 ½ hours, but went ahead and called in. The hosts were very cordial. I thanked her for taking my call and proceed to ask my question. I asked: where did the concept of God originate? Setting aside whether one believes in God or negates Him, where did the idea come from? My question seemed to stun the host. I didn’t ask this question to be contentious. It was an honest inquiry. After some silence, the host began her explication on the topic. She basically approached it from emotions. In other words, she postulated that we, due to our supposed need for something greater than reality, created this being whom we call God. After listening, I responded. I expressed to her that emotions cannot create anything. It can only recreate or restructure that which already exists and is perceived through the lenses of our emotions. I then proceeded to explain that the way in which she could refute me was to create a sixth sense. Of which, she conceded, I cannot. We weren’t able to get real deep with the subject because of the time. Needless to say, I affirmed the biblical notion of God. The inspired writer points out that God has placed eternity within all of our hearts. Just thought I would share. Have a great night!
