OK but again, you seriously expect me to believe that something so unlikely happened spontaneously?
What happens when you die? Nothing. Game over. Remember before you were born? Me neither.
OK, so that kind of knocks it on the head for Buddhism and reincarnation in general but that doesn't cover all the bases. I don't stop thinking, feeling do I?
You have free will, sadly.
I know, isn't it awful that some people choose to eschew good old logic in favour of nasty ole faith?
And that's the rub isn't it? You don't like people who don't think like you but you shroud it in the disguise of a logical argument that has a right and logical conclusion. I mean, anyone who doesn't see it your (or Prof Dawkin's) way is old fashioned, illogical, wrong.
Look, I think that some creationists are dangerous, especially when they get carte blanche to impose their view on others as we are seeing in schools in some areas of the US but at the same time it boils my p*ss a bit to see those who want to do the same thing but with a "science is the answer for everything" agenda.
What we need is a balance. This sort of debate is good but if we go down one path or the other these debates won't happen and that is a bad thing. I was taught that God created the universe in 6 days but I was also taught science too and I'm quite comfortable with my view of the Universe which, I will admit, is more science than God.
However, perhaps it's the rank and steaming hippy that still lives within me, I'm happy to let them have a different world view. They're wrong. That's their problem but I don't bang on about it and I most certainly don't feel a need to write a book about it or put it on the side of a bus or go on the offensive. To me, that sort of behaviour suggests a fundamental unease with the belief.
