People are always asking somone to prove that god exists, prove that god doesn't exist, and all sorts of unprovabable crap. I am not attempting to prove either of those. Pretend that there was a random pattern among some molecules on some comet somewhere. every 70 years they would heat up and change. after millions of years a pattern forms that can reproduce itself. The comet hits earth and all the dinosaurs and suchlike happens. Now humans come along and say that they were created by god, then they say that god had a hand in shaping the patterns that lead to there evoulution, and people say god is an emotional cruch for those who are to weak to take on the world, and people say nothing is proveable at this point and probabily forever. None of this can be proven, except that matters of faith are unprovable. In the eyes of the religious these people are going to hell for not beleving, in the eyes of the atheists these people are stupid for acknoliging even the possable existance of a god who wants to see them cooked. What I have proved, then seems to be that the churchgoing group ignores reality in hope of living in a nice shiney city when they die, the atheists say "what the hell, I can get that on earth and its a sure thing", and the angonistics will either live like an atheist and be happy, or miserable, or whatever, or follow some religion, suffer its laws, in hopes of a heaven which is unatainable by somone who has even a spark of doubt.
