hat's how I look at it. I've gone so far that, a few years ago,
   I wrote up a whole scientific religion. Totally accurate and
   changeable upon new evidence. I only make it go far enough back
   to the primal star going supernova, the giant supermolecular gas
   cloud it collided with and gravity as Triiune 'cause, as far as
   we know, that's what _literally_ makes up the fingers on your
   hands and the computer in front of you and the sun shining in
   the sky. Hymnals will respect (no worship needed, just respect)
   each of the elements, different scientific theories that are
   solid and agreeable and avoiding the hot-topics. By only going
   as far as the primal star, it allows for inclusion of atheist,
   agnostic and theist alike, although as an anti-theist you might
   have a beef with it tongue emoticon Plant churches worldwide as
   a supplement to regular services for the religious and as a
   community place for the non-religious who feel there's
   "something missing" and they want to express their awe and
   wonder of the Universe with others who feel the same way. Then,
   the different groups can have their tug-of-wars at the annual
   Festival of the White Blood Cell over the heavy issues, and have
   the "no God is better than your God / My God is better than your
   God" arguments" over coffee hour but they'll all at least gather
   together in respecting gratitute for the stuff there's agreement
   on, which is really most of it. == This way it doesn't MATTER if
   God made the Universe, mathematical Universe that never began in
   the first place, or extra-dimensional bulk sparking the Big Bang
   etc. Those parts will just not be a part of it. Just the
   agreeable stuff of science. Easy. == well I don't worry too much
   about apocalyptic visions of the future. To me, those are just
   cultural holdovers from a Protestant-era Reformation obsession
   with Revelations "end-of-the-world" scenarios that found their
   way into our cultural narrative, including the narrative of
   non-religious. So far, we haven't wrecked ourselves totally yet,
   and I don't see any reason why we're going to start now. Lots of
   threats but actually ending-it-all? Naw. Too many people who
   want it to NOT happen. Besides, if the population went back down
   to 100 million? We'd be fine as a species. But I don't expect
   that to happen tongue emoticon
