The Universe cannot be evidence of anything because evidence by definition can never be absolute
And so it is a category error to say that creation is evidence of God for it cannot be any such thing

I cannot speak for most humans but I myself would not want to live forever even if it were possible
Death is the only state where there is a complete absence of suffering in all its forms
And which is why I have no fear of it at all and will welcome it when the time comes
An eternal non existence is therefore infinitely better than any idea of living forever
You can have consciousness and suffering or non consciousness and non suffering
You cannot have consciousness and non suffering as that is not how reality works
A MIND IS LIKE A PARACHUTE : IT DOES NOT WORK UNLESS IT IS OPEN
