Intelligent Creator? The 'Universe' as we believe we know it began some 14 1/2 billion years ago. The future of the 'Universe' as we currently believe it is that it will last for a trillion years eventually with all live heat and matter expended into a cold dark nothingness.

Our 'created' lives last approximately 70 years. The human race will be lucky to last another 1,000 years on this planet let alone another 10,000 or 1,000,000.

What's the point of bothering to create human life? We will never know the 'Creator' and our only hope is some utopian life-after-death scenario. But for what? To have your 'soul' lingering in space or some metaphysical existence for eternity? Why bother? What's the point?

You might be wrong having viewed life from a rather constricted position.

So, should we give up? Is that your point? I believe in a Creator. I believe in a Savior. I believe life and the universe had a beginning. I believe what we see and live in now is NOT what God had in mind when He created this. It will be redone. We will measure up to His standard or perish. We are incapable of fully knowing God but that is not to say we should not try our utmost to try to understand Him.

You should learn more about Biblical Christianity, and consider the claims of Jesus. Did he rise from the dead?

Wrong - on all points.

What people 'believe' is irrelevant to reality. Plenty of evidence points to a very young earth, verified by actual testing - despite the howls of ignorance from many 'scientists.'

Real (and honest) scientists that don't swallow the swill taught today have many ways to challenge the assumption of the earth and the universe being 'billions of years' old.
