You're reading it correctly Big Grin

I commend your observation skills! I noticed something inaccurate Rhythm had said and then it was too sweet of an opportunity to pass up, so I shoved the stick back in there.

Guys, guys, guys.  Don't fight in front of the theists.  Someone will think we don't have our shit together or that atheism doesn't cure what ails you.

No one will accuse you of lacking backbone .. so long as that stick is there.

I would have no qualms spitting in the face of a creator.

One with a face, at the very least.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

-Stephen Jay Gould

Tell you what, as most of the theists don't know why I should care, I'll make up a reason myself. A free starter.

I would like to talk to the creator, to discuss why they created this reality. Is it an experiment? A game? Do they know elements have become self aware? What is their own reality like? Do they think their own reality is the master, or is it also created? Are many realities like this created?

These would be my curiosities. They don't ultimately make any difference, but they would at least be interesting. Of course, just knowing there is a creator isn't going to get this done. I need a way to talk to them.
Feel free to send me a private message.

Yeah I'd like to talk to the creator too if they could exist.
