  • I try to research both sides of the argument without getting my self esteem broken by mockeries of my world view and to not be pulled into a supposed comfort of sarcasm and Satire, but I find myself doubting sometimes and I think why am I beginning to doubt? I think about this and I come to the conclusion it's atheists and I ask myself what about them?

  • The key to investigate whether a divine Creator truly exists and in what context and form is in the investigation of the paranormal. Does a separate state of existence exist? Is our conciousness separate from our body? Do we continue to exist after the physical body dies? These are the avenues to explore and Prof. Dawkins should investigate these phenomena in my view.

  • @maxiboy666 Scientists do take the subject seriously but they have found no evidence for a supernatural creator. However we can ask some simple logical questions. Why would a supernatural creator make the universe in such a way? Why is he evil and sadistic. Why bother giving us an earthly life?! Why did he need to create us? Where is the big theme parks heaven and hell where we are supposedly to go to when we die? Why make a planet that is dangerous to live on e.g. volcanoes, tsunamis etc?
