    Easily escaped; "Modem Mode" is more of a trap.

    While you are on the subject of Creation,
    "The Brooke Hargis" is a comic and creator
    of Facebook that is often interesting, and recently
    did a post on God & Creation.

    The Brooke Hargis
    -+ Follow

    maybe go to https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=the%20brooke%20hargis%20quotes

    to see one of hers, lasts 1:07 and gives her logic for God & Creation.
    Here it is in text:
    (Yes, she does swear and use course words a lot.)
    ---------------------------


    Some people think God created the universe.

    Some people think nothing created the universe, Which is the funniest guess?

    And then nothing People make fun of the god people,
    they say God doesn't exist.

    I'm like, okay, maybe, but you know, what definitely doesn't exist.

    Nothing, That's the defining characteristic of nothing, is that it
    doesn't exist.

    So, what are we talking about either?

    You think it's God, something you can't see, touch, taste, photograph,
    and science can't prove, or you think it's nothing, something you can't
    see, touch, taste, photograph, and science can't prove.

    But I think we can all agree.

    If nothing, if your nothing sometimes spontaneously erupts into
    everything, that's a pretty goddamn magical fucking, nothing you guys.

    And ask, ask the nothing people.

    What happens when you die?

    They'll tell you nothing.

    You go into nothing.

    I'm like, you mean you merge back with your creator?

    That's Heaven bitch.

    What happens when you die?

    Your molecular components spontaneously disassemble
    and eventually recombine into other life.

    If the Universe always existed, then there would be no need for
    anything/anyone to have created it.

    Question to think about: is life too complex to have arisen by
    itself?

    What happens when you die?

    You go back to where you came from when you were conceived. Remember
    that?

    I'm like, you mean you merge back with your creator?

    That's Heaven bitch.

    DoesnrCOt your religion say that not all who die go to that rCLHeavenrCY?

    What happens to the rest? Do they get recycled?

    You could end up being multiple fruit trees.

    Plants are like that: you can cut them into pieces, and each
    piece can continue living as an independent organism.

    Some people think that there is no universe and it's only an illusion,
    thus no need for creation.

    Some people think it doesn't matter and that what you do with the
    universe is the important part.

    Some people think they created the universe themselves personally.

    It takes all kinds to make a world.

    It's true. Plants are great. If there is a Creator, I have to hand it
    to him about coming up with the plants.

    Next time you put your teeth into one, remember that they can signal

    Not after they have been sliced and diced, dosed with garlic and chilli
    and heated. By that stage their pheromones will long be reunited with
    said Creator.
