This man is a legend.

the sad thing is that even if people didn't have a belief in science or religion people would still be arguing and killing each other because people can't seem to get along or settle their differences.

@Ovocative87 You had a brilliant arguement until you sabotaged the whole thing by throwing an condescending childish remark about Atheistic belief system of cynicism as if such a thing existed. Atheist means We don't find any compelling conclusive , tangiable evidence for the existance of any God, or Gods. That we admit that we don't know for sure how everything came to be for sure.But we do know that you don't know either.

@zarth4 Nationalism is still a major issue over which wars have and will be fought. The Nazis thought that Germany was superior to all countries and Romans called other peoples barbarians because they were not Roman.

@Gogoplata205 Honestly, sir, the cry-baby mentality serves us nothing but exercises in futility. Belief is an entirely different thing than you might suppose, and is something more in line with being able to find out from God how things are truly made and is, unbeknownst to virtually all, the very foundation of good and solid science itself. The universe is but one of many "creations". Belief is formed by everyone. God is not apparent to you because of your atheist belief system of cynicism.

@kheffah It's as if all things consist of the velocity of expansion, of gravity and anti-gravity as the infinite expansion proceeds. But as creation the source of expansion is from infinite locations and not just one single one. So those who conceived of the Big Bang idea did so because of envisioning it. It was a matter of faith.

This may account for the inexticatability of quarks, as the rate of expansion would be greater toward the interior. It may be that matter emerges at the origin.

@Managasm Regarding reality we must all realize how clueless we are. But we can find out more in time. That's where eternal life comes in handy. In my teen age I tended toward atheism, but unwittingly I saw Jesus in nature. Later I recognized the same Jesus in the Gospels in the Bible which I was reading to see what it was about.

Regarding stupidity, stupid or smart, everyone is precious to Jesus so the same salvation must be understandable to all, regardless of intelligence or station.

@adamb20102010 Your holy book is even more silly then your attempt at conjuring satan to get me. I think by definition, you are practicing sorcery by trying to control evil with incantations!! Straight to HELL for you!!!
