Human beings are not God. God is something beyond thought, beyond any form of expression. Humans are an evolved construct of the universes grand expression. Humans have advanced minds that are able to create ideas of God and religion as a consolation for their life spans ending. Death is inevitable.

Necroposting and preaching all together at once. A double.

Actually, that was neither.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

.....What makes you think that the universe rotates in an everlasting eternal cycle? To my knowledge the latest scientific evidence, according to Lawrence Krauss, is that the universe will keep expanding indefinitely and there will be no big crunch/big bang cycle.

And if there's a cycle, how can there be an everlasting expansion? If there's a cycle it would at some time have to return to a smaller less expanded form, would it not?


See Roger Penrose's
