Sorry but again I will say one last time I am talking about organized religion. The spaghetti monster and pink unicorns tend to come across as an asshole response but are perfect examples of why organized religion offers no answers to any of the universes questions that you talk about. To most believers I am sure some of my other posts also make me sound like an asshole but that's not my intention at all I just don't feel like I have to respect them and not question what they claim to have answers for. I don't have any ideas about the mysteries of the universe. However, I am 99.99999% certain that Jesus, Thor, Elohim, Xenu, Mohammad are not God. Chrisitians agree with 80% of that last statement, Muslims agree with 80%. When someone says they literally believe in Noah's Ark they are saying they believe Jesus is God and lose any credibility for any deeper conversation you wish to have.
