This is the most sane comment in any of these threads I've read so far.
I now believe that God exists though. And I think there are two possibilities: 1) He's really a sadistic creature. He created us with enough knowledge and senses to recognise the need for criticism and questioning of his creations without letting us get to the answers, or 2) He really doesn't know ****, and he created us as an artifical intelligence project to help him sort things out. That's why we have the ability to question everything we see and hear, and when we've reached a satisfactory answer to his questions he will simply shut us down.
(Perhaps this belongs in another thread, but what the ****)
