Existence of God

That IS a possibility .However, this means that anything can be substituted such as "Wormlike appendages in transit between inverse orthogonally opposed superstrings collided and the debris field constitutes what we now falsely interpret as the 'real universe'."Such is the reason for science.Observe, postulate, test, record, check for errors, submit to others to allow them to check if you missed something ,reject if necessary ,if not refine, test again etc.It is hard work but it gets results and over time produces a picture that allows us to see things that we never could have known otherwise.Personally my atheism stems from the fact that science as I study it more and more gives greater clarity. The more I go through the different religous points of view the more muddy the waters become. In atheism it all falls in place even if it isn't the way I would rather it to be.[This message has been edited by sidelined, 10-14-2003]
