This makes me wonder how accepting of God you would be if certain beliefs you hold about God turned out to be wrong. Suppose God spoke to you and said "listen, I hate to disappoint you but you've really got to lower your expectations. For mortals, there can be no existence outside a body. All of that is bunk. I'm powerful, but not 'all powerful' which I'm sure you realize is a logically flawed concept. There is a kingdom of heaven within and while you're there it will be sublime, seemingly timeless. Nothing lasts forever. You've got to stop taking it all so personally. The universe will go on and so will consciousness of it. Everything is fine. Just play your part. Everything is part and collectively it is Me, but I'm nothing without you. It's like the old Beatles tune 'You are me and I'm in you and we are all together.. koo koo ka choo .. or somthing like that'. Dig?"
What would you do? What will you do?

Well put. No matter what theories we put forth, natural or supernatural, the essential mysteries remain mysterious. God-did-it, big-bang-inertia or just random events all have the same epistemic value.
