Starbug,
Please tell us your theory, it sounds to me to be well worth cunsuming,
I am glad too, that there is a good level of inteligent discussion happening here now,
you dont often get to hear a decent disscussion on this topic without people getting offended and upset,
{guilty as Charged}
But when people can show how they come to think the way they do, by making reference to information they have consumed, it makes for an educational experience.
It is hard to reason with people who dont need reason because they have faith.
I have faith in my ability to reason!
So bring on the education from every angle, I would much rather learn more about what people believe and why they believe it than have an arguement about dodgie christian recruitment teqniques.
I believe its a sign of intelligence to keep asking the questions and to be open minded with your opinion,
You keep learning till you die, so learn about as much as you can, learn about all sorts of different beliefs, feel no obligation to adopt any of them, but purely to learn about them.
Richard Dawkins makes a lot of sense to me with his ideas.

I first learned of him on the ABC about 13 years ago, he was a friend of Douglas Adams {Author of the hitch hikers Guide to the Galaxy} and was part of an interview with Douglas reguarding his the the latest fith book in his H.H.G.T.T.G Trilogy.:duh
They then also had an interview with Richard Dawkins straight afterwards on another show.
He Explains with great reason why Religion even exists, How it was created, Why it was created, He talks about spending your time wisely and learning as much as you possibly can from your natural Physical environment.
There are no "Just believe it because its what God likes" type of scenario.
And Like Douglas Adams listed in his first H.H.G.T.T.G. book,
in a conversation between God and Man, where God states GOD: you dont need proof, you should have faith, Proof denies faith, and without Faith I am Nothing,
MAN: But the Babelfish is a dead Giveaway isnt it?, It Proves you exist, so therefore you dont. Q.E.D.
God says, Oh I hadn't thought about that and promptly vanishes in a puff of Logic.
That was Easy says Man and goes on to prove that Black is white and wite is black and gets killed on the next Zebra crossing.
If in our minds we can prove that God Does not really exist then he will vanish in a puff of logic.
So I am keen to see God proven not to exist, by intelligent discussion here and Now. only the ones with blind faith shall remain convinced of Gods existence, because for them, He Does.
Oh and we can ponder our existence as we drive our VWs.
