For most of us it comes down to faith which can be passed down.
I could struggle to prove to you that the pen on my desk exsists. I know it's here but you can't see it - you believe me and have the faith that I am telling the truth and that it does exsist. For many - belief in God is the same - it is just wether or not they trust what they are being told by others and until they have - as IB would put it - an epiphany, that faith becomes more binding and solid.
Ooerr.

Yup - time for me to don the armour, put on my nice white tabard with a big red cross on the front and start rampaging through the forums chopping down anyone who doesn't want to believe.
Viva la Crusade.....
But as he's a nice chap with no such bad habits, he chooses not to.
On the subject of mastering ones own destiny, i used to think things were fated to be. But this was just an excuse to do nothing, and see where life took me.
I had some fun, drunk some beers, but that ride stopped, and now I have to do things myself, I realise that before I was just fortunate, and now if I want ought, I have to go get it myself.
Bloody hard changing the habit of a life time though.

That was relying to Ros..
We exist as we are made in His own image: that of the Universe, one made up of atoms that arrange themselves to make Stars and humans, planets, and light.
Deep down we know this but can only express it "in human terms": thus we have an ultimate creator or creators, or concepts such as reincarnation or Gaia or Shamanism. All based upon human ideologies.
Humans are not the sole inhabitants of this universe so how come we assume that it was made with us in mind?

Because the rest are our victims?

And how do you know this? Like I said, if there was such a thing as an all powerful one, who can do anything, why should we be able to understand how supposedly impossible tasks are performed?
Humans are a clever race, but that doesn't mean we can understand everything, we simply understand what we need to.

Yeah you tell that to the Gluupdongs in Naaboop, they'll fixate nitrogen at that suggestion.
Also when we portray Aliens on TV why are they always from Monolithic cultures? They only ever seem to have one God that is not disputed rather the plethora we have and have had, which reflect our differing cultures and evolution of mind and body.
