110. There is no God! You know you are in the minority, don't you?
But I do believe you are right, I don't think there is a God either, but most people believe in one or another.

I don't think they believe proof is necessary. Atheist know science proves the laws of nature, true, it has proved those laws several different times and in many different ways. Science will probably "revise" them a few more times before I die if I'm lucky.

Atheism is not a belief system? A belief is knowing something with 100% certainty without proof. That goes for religion and sorry to say, atheism. They can't prove God exists(there IS a God), you can't prove God doesn't exist(there ISN'T a God). Sorry, that's a belief. Nothing wrong there, don't be ashamed of it.

I liked George Carlin and I'm glad he had something to believe in, if that made him happy good for him. Has the sun come up every day for billions of years, probably, but I don't know, nor do I care. I do care if it comes up tomorrow and the day after that, but I doubt worshiping it will make a difference. You do know the sun doesn't actually "come up" don't you? I thought so.

I read about Newton in college, Physics I believe. Now just what did birds and airplanes use to fly before Newton discovered these laws? Would it have made a difference if someone named Smith had discovered those laws? Would those laws be different if a God had created them? I don't get your point.

But here is my point, it doesn't matter to me if Newton invented gravity or just discovered it. It also wouldn't matter to me if a God had invented gravity. Gravity most likely has always been there, probably always will be at least for my life time, and how or why it got there is really of little consequence to me. Knowing about it, and I do know about it, and being able to use it to advantage, that's another story. In case you are wondering, I also know about cohesion, adhesion, molecular bonding, etc. I know lots of stuff.
