I hope you won't mind if I base MY eternal destiny on something quite a bit more substantial than this, thank you.
That's a hoot! How about basing it on something more substantial than some imaginary father figure that resides in the sky! All religion is mythology with only the belief of it's followers to give it power. Why don't you believe in Apollo or Zeus or any one of thousands of other religions, some with afterlives some with none?

You see, unlike you, I base my view of what is real in the world on evidence, rather than what I would like to be true. Crazy, isn't it?
What?!!! Basing your views on EVIDENCE!!! What will the neighbors think!!! : )
It always amazes me that reasonable behaving people who appear to be very intelligent, actually believe without any evidence that god(s) exist and that they have a relationship with said god(s). Kind of reminds me of Harvey the rabbit.

Easy - because Apollo, Zeus or any other 'god' or 'religion' is, upon careful examination, found to be completely bankrupt. Only the God of the Christian Bible is able to withstand all tests put to it.
Evidence please! Oh, nevermind this is just YOUR totally unsubstantiated narrow minded bogus opinion.

The 'evidence' is plentiful but people such as yourself fail to acknowledge it as such.
Fine then, present some the evidence that you claim I fail to acknowledge.

complex specified information (CSI)!
WTF is this?!!! Admit this is just a made up measurement so you can sound intelligent. "All sound and fury signifying nothing"

Ahhhhh... the sounds of ignorance.
No I'm sorry you've got that reversed. All your posts are the sounds of ignorance or even worse willfull ignorance! I stand by my statement that CSI is a completely bougus made up term with no science behind it. Prove me wrong if you can.

the fundamental problem in origin-of-life research is that of explaining the origin of information. This problem is at an impasse for Naturalists since it is commonly accepted that neither chance nor natural laws are capable of generating information although the evolution diehards insist that it IS possible (without saying how).
This old saw about information generating not being possible by natural means is a crock! It has no general support of scientist, which is no wonder as it has no verifiable science behind it. Another complete fabrication by someone with an anti-science bias.

You're in Ann Arbor, my alma matter!! I'm jealous, except for the winter months of course.

I was there from 80 to 85 and got a BS in Computer Engineering. My parents, until a month ago lived in Plymouth, MI, but I used to spend my summers in Ann Arbor. I don't miss the long winters, but summer and fall are beautiful in Michigan.
75 in November!!! I remember the summer that Mt. Pinatubo in the Phillipines erupted, we rarely got a day as warm as 75 all summer. It was 85 here yesterday, a bit warmer than the average 81.
