I agree with Mr Hawkings "Science doesn't prove their isn't a god. Science just proves that if their is a god he doesn't work in an arbitrary way." as mentioned before.

People are too caught up in who's right and wrong. Does it really matter? God's says in just about every religious book that each person will be judged based on themselves, not others.

Therefore it doesn't matter if you can get 0,1, or 1million people to follow your path. You are only going to be judged on the merits of yourself.

So regardless of who is right the outcome will be the same. Just be happy in your own belief system and let others live as they wish.

Sometimes I think God created all for entertainment. It's no different than me creating a sim game. I would first create all the rules by which everything in the creation would behave, some things having more 'free will' than others. Then I get all of my materials and hit 'run'.

Then sit back and let it go until I was bored and hit 'alt+F4'.

Btw, i don't believe atheists are destined for Hell. If God is, God would judge you based on you, in context to your life. As someone who has read nearly every major religious book known to man, many of them more than once, there is a common theme that exists over and over. There is more than one path to god. All that is really needed is to be humane and be a genuinely good person.

Your experiences in life have dictated what you believe. These could stem, as seen in most cases, from your parents teachings, also known as blind faith. Or it could stem from research and personal theories, most logical way to handle anything. An atheist can easily be atheist based on perfectly logical theories, and I don't see God punishing a person, correct that, a genuinely good person simply because they could not find the evidence they needed to say 'I believe in God'. I don't think God wants Sheep. God allowed us to evolve large brains for a reason. Lets not disappoint God by being Sheep.

BTW- in case anyone is curious I consider myself Muslim and yes, these ideas are contained with in the Quran and Bible. Most just choose to read these books with an agenda.
