Anxiety, panic attacks – Why doesn't God heal me?

I enjoy intelligent and respectful conversations. I don't, however, tolerate disrespect or abuse. Because AceLockCo's last comment fell into the latter's category, he has been blocked and his comment removed.

And there are a great many other examples of how science leads to the same conclusion: Someone or something much bigger than nature itself created everything. If you want further examples, let me know. I'm going to be away from the office this weekend but would welcome the opportunity to discuss this further.

@AceLockCo To cut to the chase. The First Law of Thermodynamics states: "Energy can be neither created nor destroyed. It can only change forms." Since science knows that the universe exploded into existence from nothing, there are no other scientific or natural explanations for the beginning of the universe…other than a Creator that is OUTSIDE of nature's parameters and restrictions. In other words, there is no other plausible explanation for the "first cause" other than God.

@AceLockCo Are you familiar with the laws of cause and effect? Thermodynamics?

@anxietycentre – Sorry your make believe science does not hold water with me. You are making statements and pushing them off as fact, but they are not even close they are just your opinions. Science NEVER has shown evidence that god exists. If you really understood science, you would understand that the burden of proof is on you, not me. You have to prove something exists, not that it doesn't.

So just because YOU don't believe in God, doesn't mean God doesn't exist. It just means YOU don't believe it. Belief has nothing to do with intelligence, but of free will and preference.

@AceLockCo Actually, many highly intelligent scientists have come to believe in God because that's where science leads. So it's not a matter of weak minds, but believing in what the evidence shows. Yes, there are a lot of people who don't believe in God. But it's not because of evidence, but most often because they don't want there to be a God that they have to be accountable to. So denying the evidence allows them to live the way they want to live.

God isn't going to cure anything because god is a man made concept and is not real. The weak minded people will refuse to believe the truth despite the scientific evidence placed in front of them. It is this week minded person that struggles with anxiety. Their brain is not strong enough to deal with reality and they need to find some outlet.

wow.. this video touches me I started sobbing xD.. but something that's funny to me is that.. she's Canadian and I'm Canadian yet I could tell she has an Ontario accent and I live in Ontario xD Normall you can't tell.

……………maybe i am just weak and stupid for not being able to overcome the irrational,senseless thoughts/actions and succumbing to "false fear".

……..then can hardly function the next ?

I actually ask myself,how did it come to this ? How can a person just feel anxious "due to nothing/irrationality?" It makes no sense at all yet it is a reality to some.
Is it a learned behaviour ? Why do some people have no such problems ?
Is this something modern or has it existed for a long time but only been formally recognized recently ?
Is it " just in the head" and a strong no nonsense will will overcome it ? I just do not know.

Thank you for the video.Glad to hear you have overcome.I have OCD (had it for years) and CBT,shrink/medication has done nothing for me.Tbh,i have lost faith in the "mental health estblishment" and sometimes feel like throwing myself in front of a train.I know it is all irrational but i cannot stop.I have somehow become sceptical about the chemical imbalance theory and all the reasons they give.
Do you ever question yourself if these stuff is real ? How can a person be normal one day

3. Psydome said, "The big bang was not a beginning but a change of state." This is another example of, "It might be possible, therefore it is!" thinking. Very similar to the theory of evolution. Test ALL things and hold fast to what is actually true.

2. psydome said, "The laws of thermodynamics suggest an eternal universe." This is incorrect. As I mentioned earlier, the Second Law of Thermodynamics proves the universe is NOT eternal.

In response to some of Psydome's comments: 1. Energy is eternal. The fact is, no one knows if this is true or not. For example, the term "dark energy" is used to describe something scientists don't understand. It's not that they've found something that they know what it does, dark energy is the void that they have no idea what it does or where it comes from. As one science source says, dark energy is a complete mystery.

I don't mind being challenged about my belief in God. But if you do want to challenge my beliefs, then expect that I'll be challenging your beliefs, too. While some atheists may believe they are intellectually superior to believers, this is not true. It just means they have a different opinion. i believe it's time we stand up for God. He is certainly deserving of that.

@ThePsydome This is an indication of the damage that believing anything can cause. That's why it's important to test all things and hold onto those that are true. Do your own investigation, and don't believe everything your science professor, media, or friends tell you. Challenge it, and also dig for the truth about God, too. He is discoverable for anyone who diligently seeks Him.

@ThePsydome Let's relate this to the damage of the serotonin "chemical imbalance" theory that postulated that low serotonin in the brain was the cause of anxiety and depression. For years society (and millions of people) bought into this concept. But a few years ago, independent research proved this theory false (since you can't measure serotonin in a living brain synapse). Consequently, people were put on potentially harmful drugs because of a false notion.

@ThePsydome Remember, Darwin's theory was just that…a speculation. A "what if?" If macro evolution were true, it still wouldn't be called a theory. Theories are speculation until proven true. So again, let's not suppose macro evolution is based on fact, when it's just a speculative notion. I think it's also dangerous to put your trust in an unproven concept. That's why searching for the truth is such an important endeavour.

@ThePsydome Further, do you honestly believe that something can come from nothing? This is like saying, I'm going to pour a load of topsoil in your driveway and you expect that it will turn into a fully functioning car in a million or so years, or better, a child. If evolution (macro evolution and not micro) were even the slightest bit true, why are there no transitional artifacts such as trees with skin, flowers with hands, rocks with eyes, people with branches or leaves?

@ThePsydome I encourage you to delve into the nitty gritty of the "theory" of evolution. They still call it a theory for good reason. So rather than basing your comments on socially acceptable wishful thinking, dig into the facts and use logic to discern the truth. For example, evolutionists keep looking for the missing link…because there are so many of them. As I mentioned earlier, the missing link is more like a missing "chain."

@anxietycentre Oh dear.!!!. I thought I was talking to someone who was at least a bit rational. But you are an evolution denier and a religious fundamentalist. I should have guessed. Don't try and say that I am wishful thinking when you are the one pushing the idea of a magic man that can cure all ills and give all we ever need. That is wishful thinking that goes against anything we observe. You are picking and choosing the science that best suits you. This convo is over.

@ThePsydome Please keep in mind that ALL of these notions are pure speculation and theory. Using the present laws of science (as per my last post), you'll see that the universe is dying. It's not, or never was eternal. The notion of an eternal universe is wishful thinking at best. Please don't try and pass these speculative notions off as fact. This is as bad as saying that evolution is true.

@anxietycentre Again, I ask you to actually look at the real evidence and what the scientific community is saying. 1) energy is eternal and can't be created or destroyed. 2) The big bang was not a beginning but a change of state. The input energy was equal to the output as with any thermodynamic sequence. And the total energy of the universe is a constant 0. again, actually look at the real evidence and data before forming a belief system and pushing it on vulnerable people.

@ThePsydome PART 1: I wasn't referring to the "big crunch" theory. To be clear, the universe is NOT expanding (into empty space). But space itself is expanding and the universe is stretching out into it. This is an important distinction. It means that the universe itself is not growing. It's simply being stretched out as space increases. And this is why the universe is running out of energy and beginning to collapse.
