About!

CHEONGYILEI
Me, I don't eat (most of) my veggies. I enjoy air-conditioners on humid mornings, ice-creams on cold evenings and sleeping on rainy nights. I'm a dreamer and a kpop lover. I like dark red roses and bright yellow sunflowers, but I hate artificial flowers. I like travelling and daydreaming a lot better than annotating literature texts though I like libraries, bookstores and thick a4-sized notebooks. I think its fun to scribble stuff - words, quotes, pictures, symbols - in my notebooks. I have a tendency of writing notes on foolscap and losing them ): Oh, I think I want to dye my hair red when I grow up. And and and, I think its pretty fun writing this.

Taking notes at his talk in school, super excited that I came because it's actually v interesting ((:

- Science helps us understand objects but it does not answer all questions (why one did something etc)

- God is a projection of our whims in the sky (Freudian argument of religion)

- God is often seen as a God of the gaps (confusion about the nature of God in the first place)

- What does 'explaination' mean? E.g. All we know and are able to calculate are the effects of gravity not what gravity is

- Explaination can be 1) scientific and 2) with regards to intention and they complement each other

- Has science aided what God wants us to do? - humans are the image of God then what we are trying to do to benefit the flourishing of mankind is also reflective of God's work

- Who created God? - there is an assumption that God is created in the first place. If we say the universe is created from nothing, what does nothing even mean? Does it mean the absence of things or things such as vacuum?

- Does evolution show atheism? - evolution has nothing to do with the origin of life

- Language and meaning shows that there's a mind behind it, in the same way science shows that there's a mind behind it

- Is it possible to test the existence of God? - From the daily experience of the work of God
