![]() 1- At this point in time, it is impossible for a human being to *know* whether or not a God exists. This is not debatable.
2- Many of the phenomenon attributed to God -- the creation of the Universe, the creation of life, the conditions of the Earth -- are essentially unknowable. The Big Bang Theory is no more viable than God, and it isn't even incompatible with a belief in God. 3- From a standpoint of logic, there is no difference between the belief in extraterrestrial life and the belief in God. Both represent beliefs founded on little to no factual evidence. I find it ironic that in the case of hardline atheists, many dismiss even the faintest possibility of a God, while accepting general scientific consensus that there are lifeforms elsewhere in the Universe. Why is that? Humans are completely ignorant on both subjects. We are smaller than ants on a universal scale. We don't know how rare life is. It's entirely possible that Earth is the only planet in the universe harboring complex lifeforms; in fact, that's what all tangible evidence would point to. But if we can agree that our "evidence" is vastly deficient in discussing lifeforms elsewhere in the universe, then surely our "evidence" -- or lack thereof -- regarding a Creator is entirely too incomplete to issue any kind of conclusive statement. 4- Religion is no more responsible for the atrocities of history than government (Nazi Germany, Stalin's Soviet Union) or science (guns, mines, napalm, nuclear weaponry). The fact is, all three are tools which provide power -- and power can be used for great good, or abused for great evil. Religion has become the whipping boy because these days, it's the least necessary. | ||

I bet you were always that kid when the teacher passed out the sheet that said "read all the directions first" just jumped into doing the sheet, instead of reading it where the last 'task' was to, put your pencil down on your desk and skip all of the other 'tasks' Fail = you. | |||
