I do not want to give away those things. Yeah, it's nice to know I trust you, but it's even nicer, when I know I dodged death.
Just free your mind and realize that sometimes faith can be good. However, I do agree that sometimes faith can be bad.

dumb question. if, IF IF IF god exists then no he doesnt have sex. what a dumb idea. no offense but c'mon man. he is above the laws of physics, hell he created them if he exists. and i think matter can be created because the universe is expanding. a la big bang theory
Hold on! When you compare the level of certainty about the expanding universe and the level of certainty about matter not being created or destroyed, the law of conservation of matter doesn't crumble. It's a matter of hierarchy, like time adjusting to light because of the absolute superiority of the constancy of light speed.
The most plausible theory out there concerning the outward acceleration of our universe is the one about dark matter, which simply assumes that the matter was always there...we just can't see it. Matter still can't be created or destroyed. Or at least, it is less likely to happen then it is for matter to become invisible.
