He was apparently always a believer...just describing intellectual and cultural trends that he saw in the Western World.

Okay, now we can go around saying “Vahanian is dead.”

Doesn’t have the same ring to it, does it?

I thought that Nietzsche was the key figure in “God Is Dead” arena.

Actually he wouldn’t have been surprised at all. Does anyone read the articles anymore or just comment based on the headline?

Here is what I would like to know. God created particles that half a half-life of a nano second. On the other hand the universe as we know it today MAY last for another 100 trillion years or forever. Juxtaposed is the average life of a human being, maybe 70 years. Why create humans at all? If so, why such a short life span in time that may last forever? Why exist at all?

Sure he was involved with religion but he definitely did not sound like a Fundamentalist Christian. He found God interesting but not involved in day to day stuff. He was neither hot nor cold but lukewarm. That's my take.

Adam would still be alive today except the fatal error of not following Gods instructions. Eternal life was a conditional proposition at Creation.

But if you think about it, we might not be at our intended peak of life expectancy. God created humans and humans created medicine. Compare today's longevity to that of 100 BC. Life expectancy was 35 yrs in some parts of the would. In the 1850's it was at 55 yrs of age.
Imagine what it could be in another 2000 yrs.

Now he’s dead and he has discovered how very, very wrong he was. I wish he would have believed it beforehand.
