The same could be said about Gremlins and leprechauns. I could make any claim to the supernatural as being a creator or higher life force. Philosophically speaking we can claim anything is possible, but probability is where the true definitions lie.

Did your friend's energy source have contact with humans?

It would be their interpretation whether they believed they had contact or not. Are we to take the word of everyone who claims to have spoken to god or been abducted by Aliens?

You maintain an extremly limited view of what a god must be. As far interaction, perhaps God has tried to interact with you and have failed to listen.
|
There are many religious people who claim they have never interacted with god. There are many who spent their whole life trying to interact. Are you saying god only picks and choses. Also if my view is limited then since no one believes in every single god or supernatural being wouldn't everyone's view be limited according to your assertion?

Yes, some do. And some believe that the various gods are all just different perceptions of the same god.
|
In other words they believe in their god and the other gods are just different perceptions of their god.

Your signature has no merit in this discussion. I'm not dismissing anything. I hold that just about anything is possible, even if it isn't probable.
|
So if anything is possible do you worship all religions and all gods and all other supernatural phenomenons? Or have you personally just chosen one?

You tell me, I'm not trying to define reality. I'm only insisting that the possibility that God exists is there, and that to say otherwise is incorrect.
|
You are also forgetting the possibility that God does not exist. Which brings us all to a belief. Our own personal belief. Some wish to share their's, others keep their's private.

As science advances, the randomness of everything comes into question. Life springing out of nowhere, the existence of the human mind, the orgin of the universe all give credit to some of force acting as an engineer to it all.

Yes and the more answers we find, the more questions we will have. Some feel all those questions need to be answered, immediately. With religion those questions are already answered. With science many of those questions will never be answered.

Exactly! We only know a fraction of what is real, and even then our knowledge is constantly changing. To hold to absolutes when we have no proof or evidence is asinine. There may not be any god of life force directing the course of the cosmos, but there is the possibility the it does exist.
|
So you feel we should all sit on the fence with this one and have no beliefs or non-beliefs?
