==Why Atheism is ridiculous==
Stick with me, this can get confusing for those who aren't highly verbal and good with spatial concepts. "God" is another word for "everything." God equals everything. Everthing is God. To deny that "God" exists is silly because the universe and everything in it exists. Thus, [[atheism]] is prepostorous if God is everything. On the other hand, you would have to believe the erroneous premise that God exists in order to go with this concept. Which is equally, or perhaps, even more silly.
The only question (and it is a valid question) is whether Everything when taken as a whole is sentient or not.
In other words, does God (or "everything" if you prefer) think? Does God have a plan? Or is Everything (''i.e.'' God) just ... here?Plans are a simplistic means for human beings to think they have a purpose, primarily to contend with the meaninglessness of mortality. The real question should be, "What can I learn about the origins of life and in the meantime, create meaning through love, relationships, work and my observations?"
Some people prefer to believe that Everything is just randomness with no plan. "Everything" is just does its thing with no guiding force, no rules, no anything. Everything, of course in an ever changing but non-planned form, has always been here. Everything will always been here. Everything is nicely organized into protons and electrons and stars and galaxies. Lives come and go with no meaning whatsoever. All of this and more is "Everything". Where we find ourselves confused and perhaps a bit disheartened is when we rely too heavily upon ancient religious dogma made up by people who still believed the world was flat and that God spoke through thunder.
Some people have come to realize that Everything seems to have a design and a plan, and that the Grand Architect planned everything. Some people (Einstien included) believe that time is an illusion and that the infinitely complex organizational structure of Everything implies one undeniable conclusion: Everything (or God) is sentient. God has a plan. That plan is far more complicated than we can possibly imagine or understand. [[User:Everwill|Everwill]] 11:19, 24 April 2007 (EDT)Einstein was stating a theory the our sense of time and space is an illusion based upon expanding theories of relativity, in particular the theory that time slows down when one travels at great speeds. I probably shouldn't state what Einstein said since I am writing with the factual content of a 3rd grader who hadn't done his homework.
