Have you never heard of Multiverses in String Theory
That's just it, we don't know
But cleanhippie and I both know that there is no evidence to suggest a god or gods. We know how the universe we live in came about: big bang, stars, fast forward a few billion and here we are watching American Idol.
There is no evidence to suggest a god.
Let me put it this way: every single "miracle" that happens today can be perfectly explained by science. The weeping statues? Vegetable oil. Potato chip shaped like Jesus? Chance. I had a potato chip that was shaped like my dead dog Snooky, but I highly doubt she was trying to contact me from beyond the grave.
But you Christians, you KNOOOOOOW there's a god, and he has a PERFECT plan FOR YOUR LIFE!!!!
Bullshit! I counter you hope there's a god (there isn't) and you hope he has a perfect plan for your life (you're alive - that should be good enough.)
You hope, because it scares you to your core that nobody is in charge. But guess what? Either live with the fact that the universe is indifferent, or keep your mythological hopes to yourself.
