He, on the
other hand, attacks me.

If I had realised that you suffered from a "victim" mentality, then I
would
have ignored you completely.

Donal, we can discuss beliefs without taking it to a personal level. I
respect
you for two reasons: 1-You sail.

Hah!! You do have faith!


2- You seem to have a sense of humor. There's
really very little else I can tell from what's written here, but in this
group
you MUST have those two items to survive.
Ultimately, I believe that the key reason people continue to believe in
god is
because they are unable to cope with the idea of dying; of not being.

I disagree. If you look at my posts, you will see that my views have a
scientific base. I would ask that you consider my original question - and
also my three options regarding the origins of the Universe.



The
control commanded by various religions is totally based on a promised
"quality
of afterlife." Meanwhile, our biology and real world efforts are clearly
geared
to the reality of a final and complete end.
If that seems sad, consider that many wonderful things (Roses, sunsets,
the
life of a beloved dog) all end quickly, making them all the more special.
We
need not invent a heaven for them, or ourselves.

Once again, I invite you to highlight *anything* in my posts that could be
deemed "unscientific".

I don't have blind faith. I've worked it out.

Regards


Donal
