"Accidental" implies that some other result was inteded for something. If you're trying to draw a black line with a crayon but "accidentally" grab the wrong crayon (since it looks similiar) and the line ends up purple. In the case of the universe, nothing was accidental, nor inteded. It just happened by chance. Considering how incomprehensibly BIG space is (I mean, it's like... longer than a football feild - that's big), the odds of an entire universe coming into being are pretty good I'd say. If it's possible, it will happen somewhere in the universe sometime. You really need to choose your words more carefully. “Accidental” implies that some other result was inteded for something.

I wonder why fundies like Madeline consider it a 'void' when you don't believe in Jesus, but don't tell you you're missing out for not worshiping Allah? What is that atheist quote about believing in one less god...? (Either way I rather like my life, so if this is what a 'void' is like--awesome!)

There is no evidence not of any kind that Christ was/is the son of God. So don't get all sciency on us. It's just embarassing. Go back to blind faith.

Between the posts that quote the Bible and those which center on philosophy this is quite impressive. And some of the satire shows extremely creative endeavor on the part of many posters. Christians must remembers that they will be scorned and scoffed at and that many who hear the Gospel will never accept it. As a former skeptic, I at least was curious to the point of honeslty investigating the claims of the Bible. Through examining history, archaeology, science and prophecy. I was able to examine the evidence and ultimately decide to follow Christ. The problem with skeptics for the most part is that its easier to doubt than to investigate thoroughly before claiming that something isn't true. The greatest 'sin'.. the sin that condemns us, is the sin of UNBELIEF. About this site…

And to think that the author of the email thought that einstien was a Christian would also be a mistake. The author of the email more than likely knew that einstien wasn't a Christian, yet used a quote of his to heighten the validity of his argument. If even an brilliant man who is an atheist recognizes that something exists outside of "nature" or whatever you attribute this "reality" to, how much more powerful is the mans argument? All of the comments dismissing the man's use of the quotes and disregaurding them without first discovering what they mean are wastes of posts. It makes no sense to discredit something based only soley upon an unjustified opinion. also– the person that wrote this email didn’t use albert einstein as a means of proving Christianity, OBVIOUSLY.

Each one that i read was written by a person who either didn't understand the email, or simply ignored its contents and made a joke of it. I, however, read this email and find it to be very articulate and comprehensible. Even if the points are a little mixed up, can you really blame the author of the email? Your "religion" is wrong on so many levels that its very difficult to address them all in a manner that makes sense, since your religion itself doesn't even. In your defense, i would like to address all of the people who have emailed you with threats of a firey hell and eternal damnation. It is not my belief that my God has created all of you just to destroy you, or worse, to allow you to suffer eternally. My prayers are with you as you are clearly unable to accept God's ULTIMATE truth at this point in your lives. My prayer is not that you would convert to the commonly known "Christian Religion," but that instead you would come to know my Jesus as He is, not get wrapped up in the "religion" but truly embrace His love, acceptance and peace. No judgment comes from me, only a hope for an understanding and a true peace in each of your lives.... even if you are unable to see at this time the void that exists in your hearts and lives.

The moron that quoted Einstein trying to think he or she is superior and read a book in school should do some research before pinning their hopes in proving thier infantile beliefs on a known aethist. Yes...Einstein is an aethist. He does not believe in a god so you may want to rethink your position and use someone else jackass. Why are people who believe in religion (Mostly the christians) so intolerant? What makes their stories any more believeable than a flying spaghetti monster? Maybe if we kill a few million people in the name of FSM they will think twice about calling us idiots. Tolerance is such a wonderful thing.
