For me ancient texts about god do not constitute proof of any kind. Seeing as how catapults and the math necessary to aim them was the height of technology when Christian texts were written, it is not surprising that there is no ancient references to tectonic plate theory, evolution, big bang, etc.

I am happy for you that if you are in a imminent plane crash that your belief gives you comfort in your last moments. If I am ever in that situation I won't be changing my mind at the last minute "just in case".

I don't know what happens when I die. I am at peace with that. I did die by drowning when I was 16 and was resuscitated. Went swimming in a pond that was too cold and got hypothermia. All my muscles locked up and I sank like a stone. I remember clearly thinking, "this is it, I'm really going to die" and a feeling of peace came over me. I wasn't afraid to die. All these extra years of life have been very sweet and at my age, your mortality becomes more real every day. I love life and want to keep on living it, but I know that when the time comes I will face death with a peaceful mind.

I'm not out to change your mind. Just was pointing out the logical fallacy of the universe requiring a creator because it is so complex.
BlueBlazer Reviewed by BlueBlazer on . Creationism conspiracy I was thinking as I often do and came to an idea that maybe creationism is being helped along by atheists. My reasoning for this is that anyone with a functional logical reasoning brain is disgusted by the lack of science in creationism and spurred on to action to not only expose the failings of creationism but also the failings of religion.
