You do realize that the big bang theory doesn't actually posit how the universe began right? Its just the earliest event in the universe that we are able to detect. There are theories about what all the matter in the universe was doing before the big bang, but that stuff is basically just conjecture. It seems like religious and a lot of non religious people mistake the big bang theory for explaining the genesis of the universe.

Not what I'm claiming. We don't know if the universe always existed. Its possible it always existed, its also possible it started existing moments before the big bang, but its not really possible to know. But if I did say it has always existed, I imagine you'd have some sort of problem with that concept and so I'd ask you to simply take what ever logic you have in your head for how god has always existed and just apply it to a physical universe.

It's all made up, dumbo. The point is you can say whatever the frick you want 'cause none of us can actually prove it. The universe is eternal? Well god is eternal-er! As our understanding of the world around us grew, so did god increase his powers.
It's not hard to doubt that the creator of the universe showed himself to a bunch of israelites 2000 years ago, and said they specifically were his chosen people.

Because Jesus was conceived immaculately, lived a perfect sinless life, and then was sacrificed >But Jesus literally said "“Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone." If he lived a sinless life, wouldn't it stand to reason that he was "good"
It's not that there was nothing. Everything was just compressed. If you can believe in God I don't understand why that is anymore farfetched. But to each their own. I support religion for the most part. Particularly the social aspect of it.
>social aspect of religion
There is no such thing. Most Christians seperate their spiritual life from their civic life and life in the commonwealth. Their spiritual life informs their civic duties and responsibilities but this idea that 'religion is good for society' is stupid, no Christian is thinking about that.

I don't get this desire for progress that comes from most atheists. Most atheists are multiculturalists and multiculturalism involves importing the lowest IQ populations into your society and prioritizing their interests. Some of these immigrants were literally still practicing cannibalism before they moved into first world countries. What could be more catastrophic to the continued cultural, technological and philosophical advancement of a civilization than that? It's deliberately anti-progressive, it's barbarism
There's literally nobody up in the sky.
The fact Christcucks still look up to pray is nothing short of embarrassing.
At least pretend your God is in another dimension or timeline or something not so easily disproven.

>Malick is "Christian" >puts shit like this in his film
I understand it's an adult trying to explain an extremely complicated and abstract concept like God to a child, but I have found children much like it and prefer to be treated like rational beings well before you think they are ready for it. I explained to my niece (who is 6 years old) that God is not in the clouds but literally everywhere around us, at all times, that we are, for all intents and purposes, "inside" of God. That God 'is' creation, and she had no problems understanding my meaning and the implications that has for us humans.
As an aside, Malick is obviously a talented filmmaker, and he has some good story idea's, but he is not a good writer. It's similar to Paul Thomas Anderson. Their ego's prohibit them from giving the screenplay to someone else, even if they would work closely with them. Same with Eggers, who thinks he is a much better writer than he is. Honestly that's one of the saddest things to see, a talented filmmaker not realizing their potential because they refuse to pass off the screenplay to someone else, especially since most screenplays change all the time up until the moment of shooting. I performed at an equity theater with an actor who was the hairdresser in Birdman (the guy who put Riggans wig on and said 'you're amazing!', lol), and he said Iñárritu, Bo, Giacobone, and Dinelaris were constantly changing the script on set, shooting a scene, then re-shooting with slight additions and alterations to the script each time. He said it was an extremely creative set to be on. I imagine that is really the most organic way to work on a film anyway: The screenplay is a 'home base' of sorts but can easily be changed if you find a better moment.
Giving the screenplay to someone else would also allow the director to work more closely on the actual aspects of directing. It's really surprising these people can't let go of their ego's for the betterment of their art.
This is true
How fricking disappointing is it that Terrence understood how to make the tree of life LOOK & SOUND this good, but he failed to understand how to adress God and not have it turn into "le magical sky" thinking? Do people really fail to move past literal interpretations of the bible still? And why would Terrence play into literal interpretations in any way? It's just not very interesting
Malick has a doctorate in theology and is a catholic.
Yes obviously he doesn't believe God lives in the sky but the character is not some scholar, she's a housewife in the 50s.
Isn't he protestant? He obviously hasn't had kids because if he did, he would know that isn't something you tell kids. You tell them God is the master and ruler of the universe and loves us more than anything in it, so we obey Him and love Him in return, since all Good comes from Him exclusively. This is also something a 50's housewife would have told their kids. So it's still bad writing. Malick is great with visuals, 2nd to none in that regard, but he is horid when it comes to crafting characters and directing/portraying them in believable ways.
I am excited for his next movie, only because I want to see what his understanding of Christian theology really is.
That scene is ok in a vacuum. But the way the movie shows certain other moments in the movie including Jessica Chastain's character floating about, dinosaurs and (admittedly gorgeous) montages of outer space while Lacrimosa plays on the background makes me think Terrence just wants to show simple & straightforward interpretations in a beautiful manner.
It's like painting something bland in a masterful way. Why not make it more interesting?
Do anons itt not understand what evolution is? All evolution is, is a theory about changes, not a fact about 'improvements', improvements which, by the way, are highly arbitrary and based on what certain humans, in their opinion, find unique or interesting. The rule in evolution is actually DE-evolution, it is creatures losing features. 9 times out of 10, evolutino has proven that creatures, like say, a mammal, that once had wings came to lose them, by small variations operating on it in an environment. But those who use evolution to justify their atheistic model ignore the 9 out of 10, take the one except where a creature maybe came to grow a bit bigger, or gain a dorsal fin, and claim this is the rule.
And this is to speak nothing of the fact that evolution cannot prove we came from monkey's or apes. That is insane, and no possible proof exists for that suposition. It's really a sad state of affairs when one of the more interesting sciences has been corrupted by atheists.
>atheists: stupid christians believing in something they can't prove >also atheists: there is this thing called dark matter and it makes up 99% of the mass in the universe and it 100% exists even though we can't detect it in anyway and every attempt to prove it exists has failed
>we can't detect it in anyway
that's literally what they're doing though, that's why it's a thing scientists can calculate, compared to christcucks fantasy man
Uuhhm, sweetie? Atheism cannot be dogmatic because it is not a belief, it is LACK of belief
also state-wide atheism has never been tried, just like communism
Right but it sure seems like you were just saying that you can't be free thinker and also adhere to popular dogmatic beliefs. Just seems like a curious statement to make.
Look, sweetie, the moment you accept the fact that atheists can do what they want, no matter how contradictory, the better.
We don't have to rationalize anything since we lack belief therefore lack ethics.
Same, I'm an atheist and it occurred to me that I'm always pissed off at everything, and the only pleasure I derive in my life is making 'christcucks' '''''seethe'''' on Cinemaphile.org
>Stop being a homophobe! Black Lives Matter! Trans women are women! I stand with Ukraine!
And what's so funny about these stances is that if God really doesn't exist, none of these things matter. If God doesn't exist, neither does justice, so how can you possible hold the view He doesn't exist, and still call for justice and betterment of peoples?
Imagine going trough life and believing there is Logos behind the universe, no moral law and everything is just random and pointless. You need to be stupid enough ignore / misinterpret the entirety of recorded human civilization. Not to mention it would be an utterly miserable existence
>mom tell me the story of jesus again >well you see dear a long time ago God decided to kill himself to save all of us from the horrible things he would do to us if he didn't kill himself to save us all. But he didn't actually die because he's God and that would just be silly.
>he hasn't studied the eccumenical councils
If you don't want to be Christian, that's fine, but at least study what our doctrines of Christ's nature actually are, because what you have just described is not that.
What I'm saying is, that your strawman regarding Christ now, was a strawman regard Christ then. So, Holy men go together to define their doctrines exactly, using the Gospel, Epistle's, and Holy Tradition. You may think you are creating a clever criticism of Christianity and Christs nature, but you are 1,700 years late.
Again, you don't have to be Christian (though I highly encourage you to be one). But you should at least understand what Christian theology is, before you decide to believe in it or not. That would be like refusing to believe in the concept of mathematics, before anyone showed you arithmetic or multiplication.
The real God is based, with an interesting lore and an almost otherworldly being. The American Film & Television God that Hollywood talks about, usually for Christians, is cringe. He's unironically a big white bearded man that lives in the clouds and directly intervenes in your puny boring mortal life whenever you ask him to like he's your slave. Yawn. The real God doesn't care if you die, but he cares how you die. You're a mortal, you are going to suffer, but you don't need to anguish in your suffering. He lives outside of time and space, and his motivations are unknowable to us. He doesn't exist, but He also does exist. He is everything and He is nothing. When you die, you'll sit in the Earth as a rotten corpse, then a decaying skeleton, and finally a collection of dust, all for 7.5 billion years until the Sun eventually engulfs the Earth and totally destroys the planet, at which time you'll float through the galaxy as star dust for a quadrillion more years, and more, until the very fabric of our Universe collapses and you awaken in another realm, but it will all be as if you just fell asleep and woke up.
Churches everywhere, theologians dedicated to studying God, makes Him not an alien to us. We can conceive of Him somewhat, even if we'll never truly understand Him.
Perhaps, but if we are of God, then He isn't totally otherworldy. There's a connection between us, and He made us in His image, after all. Unless you're a Deist and believe God just sort of sneezed us out on accident and turned His gaze from us entirely.
in some ways yes but were apparently made in his image and he already put effort in the try to connect with us
I think you're confusing "otherworldly" with "incomprehensible." Something from another world is otherworldly even if you fully understand everything about it.
i like how some of the most based works humans have ever created are inspired by the bible it doesnt need to prove itself its already shown its power(society, art, human qol)
>And unto the world God spoke of his unyielding love and compassion >"I have created man and woman from thy own flesh and clay. Take refuge in my gift of free will and bring forth other creations of my flesh and clay. But call them not man and woman; be creative teehee."

The rule in evolution is actually DE-evolution, it is creatures losing features. 9 times out of 10, evolutino has proven that creatures, like say, a mammal, that once had wings came to lose them, by small variations operating on it in an environment. But those who use evolution to justify their atheistic model ignore the 9 out of 10, take the one except where a creature maybe came to grow a bit bigger, or gain a dorsal fin, and claim this is the rule.
And this is to speak nothing of the fact that evolution cannot prove we came from monkey's or apes. That is insane, and no possible proof exists for that suposition. It's really a sad state of affairs when one of the more interesting sciences has been corrupted by atheists.
>that's where CAWD lives
>atheists: stupid christians believing in something they can't prove
>also atheists: there is this thing called dark matter and it makes up 99% of the mass in the universe and it 100% exists even though we can't detect it in anyway and every attempt to prove it exists has failed
>we can't detect it in anyway
that's literally what they're doing though, that's why it's a thing scientists can calculate, compared to christcucks fantasy man

struck a nerve
>theoretical physics have real-life applications, bro!
lol should we tell him?
>atheists: I am a free thinker
>also atheists: Stop being a homophobe! Black Lives Matter! Trans women are women! I stand with Ukraine!
Wow its almost like dogmatic belief systems are bad huh?
Uuhhm, sweetie? Atheism cannot be dogmatic because it is not a belief, it is LACK of belief
also state-wide atheism has never been tried, just like communism
Right but it sure seems like you were just saying that you can't be free thinker and also adhere to popular dogmatic beliefs. Just seems like a curious statement to make.
Look, sweetie, the moment you accept the fact that atheists can do what they want, no matter how contradictory, the better.
We don't have to rationalize anything since we lack belief therefore lack ethics.
You seem mad.
I'm an atheist, I'm always mad
Same, I'm an atheist and it occurred to me that I'm always pissed off at everything, and the only pleasure I derive in my life is making 'christcucks' '''''seethe'''' on Cinemaphile.org
There is only dogmatic belief systems and the fence sitters beholden to them
>Stop being a homophobe! Black Lives Matter! Trans women are women! I stand with Ukraine!
And what's so funny about these stances is that if God really doesn't exist, none of these things matter. If God doesn't exist, neither does justice, so how can you possible hold the view He doesn't exist, and still call for justice and betterment of peoples?
Imagine going trough life and believing there is Logos behind the universe, no moral law and everything is just random and pointless. You need to be stupid enough ignore / misinterpret the entirety of recorded human civilization. Not to mention it would be an utterly miserable existence
>all these seething christcuck larpers
every time, so easy
>mom tell me the story of jesus again
>well you see dear a long time ago God decided to kill himself to save all of us from the horrible things he would do to us if he didn't kill himself to save us all. But he didn't actually die because he's God and that would just be silly.
>he hasn't studied the eccumenical councils
If you don't want to be Christian, that's fine, but at least study what our doctrines of Christ's nature actually are, because what you have just described is not that.
Why should I bother to study something I don't like when I can just make up a strawman I can easily topple?
>trust the eccumenical science!!!
>Christian beliefs are so simple to understand you need to study Church councils to even begin to understand them
No. I don't think I will
What I'm saying is, that your strawman regarding Christ now, was a strawman regard Christ then. So, Holy men go together to define their doctrines exactly, using the Gospel, Epistle's, and Holy Tradition. You may think you are creating a clever criticism of Christianity and Christs nature, but you are 1,700 years late.
Again, you don't have to be Christian (though I highly encourage you to be one). But you should at least understand what Christian theology is, before you decide to believe in it or not. That would be like refusing to believe in the concept of mathematics, before anyone showed you arithmetic or multiplication.
And yet here you are seething
I'm not, I'm explaining an idea to you, that you have probably never thought of before
then we went there and there was any god
same old story
The real God is based, with an interesting lore and an almost otherworldly being. The American Film & Television God that Hollywood talks about, usually for Christians, is cringe. He's unironically a big white bearded man that lives in the clouds and directly intervenes in your puny boring mortal life whenever you ask him to like he's your slave. Yawn. The real God doesn't care if you die, but he cares how you die. You're a mortal, you are going to suffer, but you don't need to anguish in your suffering. He lives outside of time and space, and his motivations are unknowable to us. He doesn't exist, but He also does exist. He is everything and He is nothing. When you die, you'll sit in the Earth as a rotten corpse, then a decaying skeleton, and finally a collection of dust, all for 7.5 billion years until the Sun eventually engulfs the Earth and totally destroys the planet, at which time you'll float through the galaxy as star dust for a quadrillion more years, and more, until the very fabric of our Universe collapses and you awaken in another realm, but it will all be as if you just fell asleep and woke up.

Churches everywhere, theologians dedicated to studying God, makes Him not an alien to us. We can conceive of Him somewhat, even if we'll never truly understand Him.
God is not of this world, he created this world. He is, by definition, otherworldly.
Perhaps, but if we are of God, then He isn't totally otherworldy. There's a connection between us, and He made us in His image, after all. Unless you're a Deist and believe God just sort of sneezed us out on accident and turned His gaze from us entirely.
I think you're confusing "otherworldly" with "incomprehensible." Something from another world is otherworldly even if you fully understand everything about it.
in some ways yes but were apparently made in his image and he already put effort in the try to connect with us
i like how some of the most based works humans have ever created are inspired by the bible it doesnt need to prove itself its already shown its power(society, art, human qol)
>And unto the world God spoke of his unyielding love and compassion
>"I have created man and woman from thy own flesh and clay. Take refuge in my gift of free will and bring forth other creations of my flesh and clay. But call them not man and woman; be creative teehee."
Which god?
Is Badlands his best movie?
Cultish brainwashing. Religion is a disease.
The tree of life is not great cause the "nature vs grace" theme is too explicit
The same theme is in all other malick kinos, but it's more subtle and beautiful.
A*heists are the most cringe people on the planet. Nobody likes them, they can't help but bring their "beliefs" or lack of into every single subject. Religious people mostly don't want to talk or interact with these people.
Most people don't like the truth
we didnt know anything until a israeli rabbi named Jesus came to be and said to hecking worship him
And Jessica Chastain lives in my heart, God bless.
