You would lose all your humanity and go unbearably, monstrously insane. Just like a certain god about which we hear tell.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Actually it may not sound absurd from an atheistic point of view considering that nobody create and control the universe but it is quite absurd from a theistic point of view.
Why the creator would let the universe go to the dogs after billions of years that exist and with all his creation on?
Beside considering that the universe (from a theistic point of view) is a creation more creations can be made so life will last in other universes or dimensions for ever and ever.  Lightbulb

Not only that but let us remember that energy can not be destroyed no matter what and considering that energy and consciousness always go hand in hand the end of the universe can not happen ever. Lightbulb

"Creation" had nothing to do with anybody's imaginary friend.

For the creation to be there you need a creator.
Considering that the universal creation is so big then you need a super mind to create such a mighty thing.
You can well call this creator father Chrismas or anybody else.
I prefer to call God.
Do you mind?  Smile


Quote:And you didn't read the article, so you just screwed the pooch with that comment about energy.

The article is all about guessing.
Other articles say that the universe is expanding.
You take your pick Gaw.
My belief is that the universe is made of spiritual love and this kind of love never die.


Quote:PLUS you have no evidence that energy and consciousness "always go hand in hand".


Do me a favor Gaw.
Open the live electric wiring.
Touch the wiring with your hands and see what happen.
After that come back to me so we can discuss about the energy that lack consciousness.  Lightbulb

I think I would. But I don't want to believe in God due to this desire.

Stop being a disingenuous little whiner. You do little else but speak in non sequiturs.
