So yeah, something is going on beyond "science", beyond whatever "faith" you may have. The trick is not to be taken in by dogmatic preachers and such, or painfully obvious hucksterism like the Kentucky Ark. Whatever is going on, no one I know has physically come back from the dead to tell the truth. Just saying.
It seems to me (reading the above ^^^) that you are an ATHEIST, Taichiliberal. That makes sense because a lot of the modern-day, loony, Marxist left in America are

. So, tell me something...when you look up into a clear starry night sky, where does it end? I mean if you imagine that you could be shot up into the night sky in a rocket that could propel itself indefinitely without having to carry fuel (they actually have them now, Taichi) where would "the sky" end? The answer is that it wouldn't, it extends INFINITELY. Now, as you know, things don't just "pop" into existence out of nothing. Have you ever seen a "Big Mac" suddenly "pop" into existence in front of you when you were seated at your dinner table? Have you ever been sitting on your bed and seen a brand new pair of Levis 501 denim jeans just "pop" into existence new to you? Have you ever been at the movies and seen a gorgeous Blonde with big, perky titties and a totally hot figure suddenly "pop" into the empty seat next to you and say: "Hi Handsome" in a smouldering - sexy voice? No, of course you haven't, because things do not just "pop" into existence out of nothing (
ex nihilo)
So, now let's go back to our infinite starry, night sky. It could not just have "popped" spontaneously into existence at some point in time. Right? Because we all know that things don't just "pop" into existence. You've never once seen this happen in your entire life to date, nor have I, nor any other bastard on planet Earth. There is no record of any such thing occurring in the objective, reputable, scientific/historic literature. So, if things can just "pop" into existence
ex nihilo it can only mean that the thing we encounter on Earth (including infinite , starry heavens) were
CREATED; that they were brought into existence by a
CREATOR. So my question to you Taichileftie is WHO THE FUCK created something as awesome as a starry night sky that "goes on" (i.e. extends outward into space") for ever and ever and ever and e....v....e....rrrrrrrr.
Who created this? Whioever it was, I would want to piss them off - because they must have some
pretty serious power at their disposal. Right, Taichileftie ?
