If there is no God, no life after death, no rapture of the church, no future resurrection to get excited about, then what is life all about? Where do we come from? Do you honestly believe that every form of life on this planet is the result of a BIG BANG in space?
Are you saying that the complexities of plant life, the human body, animals, water, planets, the untold millions of galaxies, etc, just popped into existence? If Jesus does not return as mentioned in over 300 biblical verses, then what is there to live for?
@usn0814,
This incredulity that religious types have with the Big Bang always amuses me.
Their god is omnipotent yet incapable of setting off the Big Bang.
Instead everything had to be created individually and put in place.
I much prefer the idea of a god who could set everything up and just need to light the blue touch paper for it all to happen, not some limited god whose existence flies in the face of scientific evidence and who lacks the wherewithal to cause the Big Bang.
Why is your god so second rate?

I'm saying you're mocking something you cannot comprehend.
If you understood the science behind it you wouldn't be so glib.
Instead you are doing what children do, ridiculing what they don't understand.
All you've done is show your own limitations.

Everything else, obviously.

No one's saying that. You, taking the christian bible literally, are implying that it took six days. The more widely accepted viewpoint is that life on earth evolved incrementally over half a billion years, and that, according to physical cosmologists, the universe itself is nearly 14 billion years old.

Have you read
Waiting for Godot?

No, but I have seen a production with Ian Marter (Harry Sullivan from Tom Baker's Dr Who) as Pozzo.
