Does God Exist? Conclusion |
The bottom line is that there is no God and there is no afterlife and that this is all there is so you better enjoy it while it lasts. The God of the Bible is purely fiction and it's all one big lie. It would be nice if there were an afterlife and that we didn't have to face death and non-existence. It would be nice if there were some parental figure in the sky to take care of us when bad thing happen. But what we want and the way things are, are two different things. And you can't just believe in something because that's the way you want it to be and thereby make it so.
We are stuck here on this planet - a speck of dust in the universe - for but a flash of time. If we destroy ourselves then we are destroyed. There is no one out there who is going to clean up our mistakes other than ourselves. This is our planet and what we do matters and we are responsible for our own decisions. We are alone in the universe and this is our home - for better or worse - and we are survived through our genetic heritage (although to reproduce we have to accept a 50% cut with someone else's genes) and what we leave behind in the Tree of Knowledge. Our legacy is what we contribute to the knowledge of mankind that is worth remembering and the events that we change by living our lives.
