Free will & the Conservation Laws

However, it does not follow from this that God or the soul exists. I don't know everything that's down the back of my sofa either, but I'm pretty confident Jesus isn't there.

(How embarrassing would it be for me as an atheist if I found Jesus down the back of my sofa? How much reputation on AF would I lose? Having said that, I moved house quite recently and my sofa did seem a bit heavy. Hang on I'll check.)

LOL, if Jesus can't free himself from the back of your sofa, then I doubt he's really anything worth worrying about. But do check if you're concerned with your privacy, or are concerned with the smell of rotting flesh.
Mr. Hanky loves you!
