That cannot be. Not even theists would accept a being that created everything.
They all necessarily need to rely on something uncreated. Like the creator Herself.

Worst thing: it seems to promise infinite boredom. All my heroes are in hell. Einstein, Dirac. Feynman, and so on. So what am I going to discuss all eternity with intellectual dwarfs like Mother Teresa, and Pat Robertson? Pure torture. And everlasting. I cannot imagine anything worse.
Best...
I know of a congregation of people who sacrificed their live, and the lives of their children, because they were sure their souls would have been picked up by a starship hiding behind a comet.
All you need to do is to set the delusion level sufficiently high, and everyone would die for that...
Let me check.
Nope. the infinite universe just told me that the Universe contains infinite instances of life. Life is basically everywhere.
Now what?

What mystery? Whether the universe is finite to not, is a scientific question. We simply do not know that.
Therefore, your basic assumption might be wrong.
And how do you know that the Universe is void of life except for earth?

Ask the 12. Actually the 11. They also did not believe it, despite having spent a lot of time with Jesus, and witnessing resurrections bonanza during Jesus execution.
So, if a bunch of people used to see resurrections as being in the mainstream doubted Jesus own resurrection, you can imagine...
If you think that the Universe is infinite, then no matter how small the probability of life is, it will happen. infinite times.
BTW, we do not know whether the Universe is infinite. I think it is, but it could very well be finite. Looks flat at large scale, but you can have finite surfaces...
I did not say I respect all religions. I said I pay the exact same amount of intellectual respect to all religions. The latter does not entail the former.
And this is because I did not quantify how much that amount is.
Can you please tell me what you mean with "strayed from the original...

Yes, that is how it works. Make a prediction, and when it does not happen, as it is always the case, then you go though the books and find a computation error. And you have being doing that for the last 2000 years. I mean, when the room for interpretations is so vast, you cold do that for the...
As long as you do not give a date, your clam is as believable as me telling that Jesus will appear in 125 billion years.
Does that mean that they also believe in Jesus being the Messiah returning soon?
Any evidence they do?
I spoke with an observant Jew recently. He shares the same prophecy...
