So it's more believable to you that there is an invisable man living in the sky that created everything? :roll: 1. God isn't physical, therefore "invisible" is a redundant trait. 2. God isn't a man. He may be perceived as male, but he's definitely not human. 3. He's not living in the sky, give me a break. :| Let's be reasonable now. 4. It makes more sense to me that an uncaused being created the things required for the universe, rather than they just "always existed". It makes more sense that a supreme being could be timeless rather than some stupid inanimate particles that just randomly exploded into a universe. See? I can use loaded terms to sound smart too! So an "uncaused" being makes sense but an "uncaused" universe does not? Because matter in a closed system eventually decomposes into nothing (2nd law of thermodynamics). If the matter for the Big Bang always existed, then an infinite amount of time has to have passed before the Big Bang - surely enough time for it to decompose into nothing! Of course, an answer to this could be that the universe is not a closed system. Then, my response would be, what is outside of it that is feeding it energy? There are only two answers to this: 1.) Another universe, which then springs a vicious cycle about the matter in that universe, or 2.) God is feeding the universe energy. Either way, I end up with a supreme being. And even if my argument with the 2nd law of thermodynamics doesn't hold up, I still think it's more reasonable to believe a deity being timeless and eternal as opposed to some particles. Maybe you should read this.... http://www.entropysite.com/students_approach.html It may clear up your misconceptions about the 2nd law of thermodynamics.

Did you grow up in a christian family? It doesn't matter :P that arguement is a fallacy, 'ad ignorantium'. Just because something cannot be disproven does not mean it is true. No, but it makes it highly suspect...especially when there is no basis for proving in on empirical evidence.

There is no proof that "you" are real.

It is hard to succeed in life if you are dead. I would encourage you to find other avenues for your future besides joining the Army. The TV commercials aren't a true reflection of Army life. They are designed to dazzle you with the cool things that "some" of the troops do in the military. The fact is, very few people do those things you see on TV in the Army ads. But it wouldn't be as glamourous if they showed you a bunch of guys staying up until 3:00AM cleaning the latrine for an inspection. Or covered in oil and grease from breaking track on a M113, M1, or . Equally unglamourous is spending weeks on end without a shower or hot meals and then spending 3 days cleaning your M16A2, M2, and M203 because the jerk in the arms room says..."its not clean enough". Who knows you might be lucky and get a Platoon Sargent who used to be a drill Sargent...but who still "thinks" he is a Drill Sargent. Or worse, you could wind up in a Company full of these sort of ex-drill Sargent idiots from the 1st Sargent on down. These are the kind of idiots who come in on a Sunday morning at "o dark thirty" and wake the whole barracks up to make them clean it for 4 hours...just because they can. Or maybe one day your Platoon Sargent, who still thinks he is a drill Sargent, will take the platoon to an area that has fire weed in it and make you low-crawl for a few hours....just because he can. If you are lucky you won't be in a unit that beats the crap out of you when you get promoted. If you really want to "be all you can be"...forget the marketing hype of the Army and do something else with your life.
