I wish more humans would live up to the title "Human".

The earth is actually 4.54 billion years old, give or take a few dozen million. Do YOU have pictures of anything that happened in the bible? very, VERY little of which (like, place names, if that) is actually historically true. You need help.

[LittleminiGirl]

More than a fish : a little bacteria or something even smaller.

It's the creator paradox... A creator require a creator too. Deny that and the need for a creator disappear as that mean matter can create itself. Technically speaking, it is possible to create energy hanks to quantum physic tho.

Live in a peaceful way? Look at the amount of hate crimes, discrimination and conflicts caused by various beliefs all around the world. Religion isnt the answer to peace, common goals and proper education is.

so I did! I left out 3, my mistake. You get the idea, regardless. XD

Actually, go check out the cosmic calendar... historically we barelly scratch the last seconds of year.

[garfieldmircea2006]

Succumbing to fear are we?

[garfieldmircea2006]

I think you left out a couple of zeros :)

You're using what is known as the fear tactic. Basically, what you are saying is "Hey, if I believe in god, what is there to be afraid of?" Here is the problem with that argument. What if you're wrong? What if Odin is the true god, or Zeus, or Thor, or Rah, or any number of those? Shouldn't you believe in those gods too, just to be safe? Oh, and about "what will I say" I will say that if he is any good god, he will judge me on my character and morality, not my beliefs.

[Majora Luna]

as for the time of death, yes. only slightly more debatable than the age. maybe a giant space rock will hit earth and sterilize it. but currently the only known even capable of destroying the entire planet will be the Sun's eventual swelling into a Red Giant some 5 billion years from now, possibly engulfing the earth but most definitely incinerating it first. Or maybe when Andromeda collides with the Milky Way, the earth will be flung out of its orbit. Possibly.
