God, as conventionally portrayed as a father-figure presiding over his creation on some throne, does not exist. But this is the way that human beings, stuck in their third-dimensional reality perceive it. A vengeful god sending all sinners to hell is more of a creation of religious zealots and fanatics-who used religion as a form of political and mind control over the masses. Religion, using a concept of a god, was responsible for genocide, enslavement, oppression. Much suffering was done to humans through the ages all in the name of a hidden, father-like figure; the creator of the universe.

But god could exist in a different form than what was perceived, and subsequently was used to abuse others, through his name. What if god was a series of beautiful, intelligent energies that existed for all eternity and gave part of its energy to the Big Bang? Certainly, we could see that as a possibility. The problem with atheistic thought is that it is right in so many ways, but tends to ignore other possibilities. Atheism, in a sense, becomes a religion upon itself. Atheism, fueled by humanistic beliefs, states that there are no other possibilities. It is absolute that all life came from the primordial building blocks of the Big Bang. Yes, we agree. But it should not rule out some significant part by intelligent-design, including the possibility of triggering it off in the first place,

Science and religion have had a thousand year war with each other. But both are amazingly that much closer together. The Catholic Church no longer burns so-called 'heretics' at the stake, and believes that most people are not possessed by the Devil. Although churches at large believe in intelligent-design, they also see a huge role for secular-science to come in to help fill the gaps. But there still is a great deal of atheism in the scientific community and outside. Part of it is connected to this war with religion, but parts of it also belong to the humanistic-theology that man is a creation of just plain science and is free of religious shackles to go to the stars and beyond.

Atheism will always exist in the world in one form or another. There can never be any doubt of that. But amazingly enough, religion and science are very close together in their understanding and perception of what could loosely be referred to as "god". Both sides can present credible arguments, pro and con. There is no absolute proof that god exists, and the belief is fueled more by religious fervor. But totally dismissing it through our limited understanding of the universe and the cosmos blinds us all to the infinite possibilities that exist in a fabulous span of space, known as the universe.
