-Nah, I've studied the mythology of hell, it doesn't exist. Look it up in the old testament. It's never mentioned, only a place called “sheole”, which is Hebrew for the grave. The Jews don't believe in hell, because it's not in their stories, not even one.
“What science can't tell us is how much supernatural intervention was required to get us here, but the Bible suggest: before Adam, not so much; since Adam: lots.”
While science advances and corrects the mistakes of past theory, religion remains mired in ancient quicksand of the superstitions of mythology. We see how creationism is now slowly coming around to rejecting a young earth and 6,000 year old man. Whenever science can be shoehorned into some biblical story, it is, when it can't be, well then it's *God's magic*. Like gravitational theory and planetary motion, etc.
The evolution of religion is an interesting study, give it a whirl. They usually start out very violent and gradually evolve into more civil beliefs. The Muslim religion is the new kid on the block. They still believe in blood sacrifice. I'd have to say, that the crazy Muslims are probably the biggest reason I have finally arrived at where I am now. Ezekiel's fiery chariot and Muhammad's magical horse flying over the moon, both seem equally preposterous. But that's my personal evolution.
Nice chatting. Take care. :-)
But, it's never too late.
All the answers to all your questions are there to be found, not in hell, of course, but in a much nicer place.
Of course, first you have to want to go there...
