Welcome to Gaia! ::

This guild's little quote or headline can answer or lead to answers to your question. Cogito Ergo Sum
I think therefore I am. Don't misinterpret that statement. It's not like the little engine that could "if I believe I can do it" or "I believe I can be anything I wanna be."
Cogito Ergo Sum is a proof for your existance. I think therefore I am. Where do my ideas come from? They come from me . They are not coming from god or another all-powerful being. Cogito Ergo Sum proves that you exist, it doesn't prove that anything else exists. So if you've ever doubted your existance, here's proof that you exist. I'm short on time so I can't elaborate but if you want more info you should read Decarte's Meditations. I think they can answer lots of your questions. I'm pretty sure you can find them on the internet somewhere.

One more thing. From nothing comes nothing, from flawed only flawed comes. But from perfection, can only perfection come? If something is perfect then it has everything and is not lacking anything, right? If it was lacking something, then it wouldn't be perfect. So if something that is perfect cannot create something flawed, then that something that is perfect lacks something. It lacks the ability to create something flawed, and that would make it imperfect.
Conclusion: Flawed things CAN come out of perfection.

Thank you for listening

I was only quoting the person that started this topic.

I don't know where idea's come from and all that, biology and brainology isn't my strong point.

However, I feel intelligent and informed enough to talk about the concept of a perfect being.

Religion, and god, is the science of early years, or rather, it was developed (more like, realized) to explain the unexplainable. Whether or not "God" originally started out as a perfect being is debatable. Certianly in many polytheist religions their gods have weaknesses and vulnerabilities, so they can hardly be called perfect. Even in Judaism, espcially if you know Hebrew and read the original text, God is hardly portrayed as perfect. Omnipotent, but perfectly able to make mistakes.

Physics (at least to my knowledge) seems to support the idea of "From nothing, nothing comes," and I see no reason to dispute the laws that govern the universe.

Obviously, since a flawed thing cannot know perfection, it cannot make perfection. Thus follows, a perfect being does not know flaw, and cannot make a flawed thing.

You could say humans are flawed, but than i'd have to ask, what is perfection? Aren't we perfectly suited for our world? Evolution would imply as such, as we should be the "fittest" to survive. Does the fact that people kill and steal and act human count as a flaw? Of course, were that true, we'd always make perfect things, which obviously isn't the case.

Therefore, the concept of perfection is false, since everything can only be measured according to our minds. I suppose then, that using logical process, the concept of a perfect being is also false.

I think that says it...

Just to add another bit to this wounderful post... it isn't always about competition either... it is sometimes about cooperation. Organisms working together in a collective to better their chances of survival as a whole is also an important element. Often that gets missed by those who don't study evolutionary theory.
