I am 99.9% certain of one thing only; I will die one day. --after all, I MIGHT be the first person to live forever. I certainly deserve it more than anyone else.
Neither science nor I deal in certainties. A skeptic,for me every question remains open. I don't claim to know ANYTHING with certainty, I merely opine. I also believe the more certain my belief of a thing, the more crucial it is to question it always.
BUT I think the likelihood of there being any kind of God(s) is about the same as aliens landing in the car park at the local mall at 3 pm precisely today.
At the conservative Catholic school I attended, we were taught only a fool NEVER questions his faith. The good sense of that claim has been graphically illustrated by reading some of drivel posted by some of the more dogmatic and less reflective people here.
