Subject: RE: BS: One compelling reason for a god?
The first problem would be to determine whether or not God actually exists. Let us assume for sake of argument that we learn that God does indeed exist. Once that is done, the real questions start:   what is the nature of this God? People have made all kinds of assumptions about benevolence. Perhaps this Entity we think of as God is indeed benevolent, but we are not necessarily the objects of that benevolence.

Suppose the cosmos we know is actually a research laboratory. And supposed the earth is a Petri dish. And suppose we are merely bacteria in that Petri dish.

And God is a lab technician.

And as bacteria, we're just not making the cut as expected. The Petri dish is scheduled for sterilization and re-use.

Maybe you really don't want to know. . . .
