Jan 2013

I'd be interested to know.

I scored 81.

I'm a "reluctant agnostic". I'd just be an atheist and get it over with, but since I tend believe that "anything is possible" possibly, then I can't unequivocally state there is NO "god like thing" in existence in (or out) of the universe (this or any potential others).

I can unequivocally state that whatever that "godlike thing" might be, it would bear absolutely NO resemblance to anything that currently exists on planet earth. The hubris of man to recreate that godlike thing in it's own image. It is such a ridiculous assumption to think for one moment that a truly godlike thing would think or behave "like a human". The human mind would actually be incapable of conceiving/comprehending what that godlike thing might be. IF there is such a thing at all anyway.
