Who taught the first teacher?

Who created God?

Who created God?

God is the alpha and omega, which is to say the beginning and the end as there is no such thing as time.

Without God there is nothing because there is nothing to perceive reality otherwise. There is no understanding, there would be no free will, we would be no different than any other machine.

It's that part of God within that allows reality to exist for us.

If a tree falls in a forest, any nobody is around to hear it, does it make a sound? Contrary to popular belief, the answer is NO. Science will say yes because the sound waves created will exist, but actual sound is just how we perceive those waves. Without something there to perceive it, there is no sound, there is nothing.

So, where did God come from?

God is not part of the universe, so I'm not sure how to answer your question in any manner other than what I just did. You are asking me for something that doesn't exist in the context you are speaking of.

It's like looking into the Mona Lisa and asking me where is Leonardo da Vinci.

If you want to find God, you need to look within. It's impossible for us to perceive, but you can gain understanding. That is the function of what Christians call the Holy Spirit, but that's just a label which is required to communicate among humans. Although not what the OP meant exactly, that is the only true teacher.

And another human has been murdered as we speak, but I didn't hear it so I don't care... right?

---

You don't care, you aren't even aware of it.

However, the person who was murdered and the person who did it are very much present and know/care.

I'm not sure how you got the idea I was suggesting nobody else hears a sound unless you are present from what I said. Kind of dumb.

Who invented knowledge and wisdom?

Why is that supposed to piss people off?

Lots of people on this website (including myself) are Christians, so I'm guessing he thinks saying the earth is millions of years old will offend us.

Not all of you, but some of you. Most Christians are more open to science. But some of our number (yes, I'm a Christian) get a real case of the red arse.

That having been said, there are some very well researched theories out there that what finally put Homo Sapiens over the top was our long development time. As odd as that sounds.

A Neanderthal might have been good to go at the age of 10... and evidence suggests they were stronger and fairly intelligent. Humans, with some squinting, maybe at 16. But those extra years under the supervision of your parents and tribe/clan/government gave us an incredible set of skills.A human at the age of 18 is fully capable of being the most terrifying hunter the planet has ever seen.

We won the evolutionary arms race based on two things. We spend a lot of time training our young. And we are the greatest persistence hunter in the history of world. We won't run you down. But we will walk down anything on the planet.

My local bartender?

Oh, AI. Darn it. Those are hard to tell apart on these big arse screens.

AI is basically mimicking what we do, with usually very inferior results. That having been said, it will, before too much longer, replace a lot of labor. Before folks get excited your labor group may be the one heading to the toilet. As a side note Japanese businesses are saving a ton of money by using VR workers to guide robots through their tasks. For like three bucks an hour. The future is not bright.

Should we, as some have suggested, turn over nuclear launch to AI? Aw hell no. How many AI derived pictures in this campaign cycle have we seen where people have extra, or missing limbs? It is fully capable of being insanely stupid to a degree that we aren't. It just follows algorithms. It cannot think. Your house cat is smarter than the most sophisticated AI on the planet.

What will it do to the labor market? Well, I hate to tell you, but we are screwed. We are going to have to find something for a lot of people to do. What if we don't? Ask the French nobility how it worked out for them to come out on the losing end of that discussion.

We will have to adapt and find a lot of new jobs. Can we do it? Sure. Will we do it? Well, that is the question.

I see.

I'm not a Christian.
