Yes I agree. I'm a bit annoyed about the fact that I won't be able to gloat.

I DO believe we were created, not accidental.

Am I to take it that you are referring to our esteemed theory of evolution by natural selection? hmmmm? I suppose I would be wasting, my breath to mention that natural selection is not accidental and that saying such just proves that you don't have a fundamental grasp of the concepts involved and that...never mind... there really is no point is there? Such has been demonstrated many times in the past.
**Snip, lots of unfounded statements of "fact" **
What it all comes down to, is that you are prepared to accept all these without any proof. Without any shred of evidence. Not only do you not have any emprical evidence, you cannot even form a coherent argument to prove the existence of your god. It always comes down to crap like "I just know", "I can feel him with me", "Its called faith, and I have faith, thats all I need". That's rubbish, unfalsifible subjective statements are not evidence. They don't even add to an argument.

Unfortunately, many of us think we are smart, and know it all, when we are actually clueless. The truth is usually simple and straightforward, but we often don't recognize it. We want to make things complicated and "logical."

It seems to me that it is
you who claim to know it all. Science doesn't claim to know it all, which I assume is what you are attacking. Science doesn't even claim that everything is even knowable. It is simply there to figure out what we can know. So far it has proven indeed very effective.

It would be good for all of us to use this brief life to search for God, the Creator, and follow His instructions for the long, long, infinite future. Can the future ever end?
Do you think your brief (actually, totally insignificant) experience qualifies YOU to judge the eternal, infinite universe??

What about you? I am not "judging" the "eternal" and "infinite" universe. I am simply refusing to accept the existence of something based on hearsay. Have you ever heard of gossip? It has often been shown that gossip can have some pretty awful consequences. Organised religion is probably the worst manifestation of this.

The Judeo-Christian philosophy is my choice for sorting out these questions.

Well, science, logic, rational thinking and common sense are MY way of answering these questions.
