"Yes, but you need religion. Otherwise there is no purpose and no future after death. Surely, you believe that you are above the animals. Surely you believe there is something after this life. "

Surely? I don't think so. I _am_ one of the animals. I'm a mammal, just as you are. And I do not believe there is something after death. I am content with my three score and ten, and hope to do some good things that help others in that time. After that, I will be cremated and only other folks memories of me will survive.

How arrogant we are to assume that we are so important that our identities continue after our deaths!

No - not arrogant at all - just believers in the Bible. We have not found a lie told to us yet there.

How very sad when you experience the death of a loved one.

Surprising that you don't see the artistic creations in life here. How come there are millions of insects - each created uniquely for its needs - why not just 3 or 4 kinds in bland colors?

What about the various animals of the world - each so different, each endowed with ways to protect itself? What about the vibrant colors of birds, animals, insects, flowers? Why were they not just bland simple designs - why so elaborate?

What about the human body, the birth process? How could accident possibly create something so magnificient?

IMHO there had to be a creator and one that showed His handiwork by the artistic designs in the creations. Sure some things evolved, some things were set in motion to develop. Same as a computer programmer sets up the program for a job. The programmer does not actually do the job, he provides the plans, the process and fine tunes the creation. Yet, without the programmer, the job would not be done.

Such a shame that the Creator does not even get credit for His creations. No - the world is so simplified that it was merely created by accident, a big bang, or years of evolution.

There are none so blind as those that will not see.
