Wild, I get where you're coming from, its hard to believe, (but I dont know where you got the idea ALL our widest dreams come true in heaven) but for me its harder not to believe. How do you explain the world? If humans have been around for soo long why is there not a answer to this other then a god made it or cosmos exploded. I know you're not trying to upset anyone and I know that Christians coming out and challenge/preaching triggers some people but why? If what you believe is right and you know it then why is it triggering for me or anyone else to state what they believe, or give you reasons why I believe? Is it because atheists can't explain anything? I dont think its right for Christians to harass people to make them believe but im getting tired of people yelling at the Christians on this site for simply explaining why and what they believe. Personally I think its because the truth is ALWAYS stranger then fiction.

But Im not a religious historian. Just an observer

Can you do me a favor and explain evolution? I'm GENUINELY curious because the last evolution theory i heard involved four fundamental forces crashing into each other and creating the universe as we know it, and let's be honest that's a little bit like four gods crashing into each other.

Do people really think this happens???? Isn't it far more likely that when we die that's it? I personally hope that's it, it gives me a chance to give back what I've taken, let my body / soul pay a small debt for the experience and resources I used, I'm not trying to upset people but I can't believe everyone still blindly follows this stuff to me it is weakness of mind and people being afraid of reality. Dying is part of living don't be a sally about it....

Are you married? Kids,,grandkids? Or single.Just curious.

I quit wiener measuring contest some years ago young fella but as some goofy country singer once said "i'm as good once as I ever was". Openness is a measurable trait and is a major predicator of success. It's not about "ball size" it's about being willing to search for answers even if they go against your preconceived notions that you rest your identity on. I'll leave you with this picture of me at work.

Lol, it was a joke. And if that pic of you at work is your attempt to show your level of gumption its only impressive if you have a fear of death, a quality I lack and before you say that i will develop one when faced with it you're wrong. I've been there, come close to death and it only furthered my level of comfort.
So anyhow if you want to prove me wrong, I'll start easy, go ahead and explain how fundamental forces created the world.

I would say my moral principles came from my Dad, when he said something he meant it, and was glad to prove it if you didn't believe him. I would guess he got his, from his Dad too.
Animals even have a moral code. If you don't think so you have not watched many. A mare with a colt will put it in its place when it gets out of line. When a calf tries to steal milk from another cow it gets run off. Many animals have as complex structure as we do. I don't think they believe in a higher power.

I am of the opinion that there are over 4,200 religions in the world and everyone thinks there's is the only one that matters. With that said, if your religion makes you a better person, more power to you and keep on believing what you believe.

When was the last time you were on a beef farm? Calves drink from other cows alot and don't get run off.
And you missed the point too, morals have been around for soo long even the animals have them, so where did they get them from? Exploding stars? I think not

This is the difference between us. I can flip on youtube and find a physicist explain it the best he can, I still wont have a full understanding of it, I can admit "I don't know". I don't know everything, some things make little sense to me, when I can't make sense of something in it's entirety I don't just fall back on "well a magical sky fairy must of done it".

Why does the sun come up in the morning and the moon at night? 10,000 years ago "the Gods do it"
Why the Earth cycle through warm and cold spells? 10,000 years ago "the Gods do it"
Why did my baby die? "God did it"
Why did I get sick? "God did it"

We have always used Gods/God as an answer for the things we failed to fully grasp, over time we have gained a further grasp on the world, the solar system, the universe and now more than ever but not more than in the future we can say "God is dead".

On beef farms those are known as "cull cows". You are using the exception to make the rule when you say "calves drink from other cows alot".

Morals would have evolved the same as life, slowly over time. Traits that help you survive are selected for and those that do not are repressed.

Take honesty for example. If you are honest and someone trust you they may be more inclined to share food with you if you agree to repay it next year, if you are dishonest they may not trust you and watch you starve.

This is easy to explain. Morality was born of necessity. Basically, cooperate or die. Life was once pretty tough for people. To succeeed we needed to get along.

I understand I will never get thru to you because you don't want to listen but you say you flip on YouTube and watch some physicist explain something he doesn't understand, you can watch people on YouTube explain anything literally anything like if you're wondering why the moon is made of cheese, youtube will explain it. Or how the moon landing is fake? YouTube will explain.
