Well, it sure seems that darwin’s theory is right. Frickin’ christians, some of them are nice, but the extremists, they’re just agh. Ignorant.
I wish I had my Time magazine which had a report that “believing in god” is in our genes. It really makes sense, lol. It described how there was a gene in our DNA that made us “want” to believe in a higher power. Those of us with that gene being dominant are stronger believers, and those of us without that aren’t believers. Now, I’m not sure if that is true, kuz I don’t want any missing genes in me, but it sure makes me feel good. 
I’ve gotten into the whole “am I religious” conversation with my mom. And in the end, I’m somewhat a Buddhist. I’m not convinced I am, my mom thinks so though.
So, I don’t believe there is a ‘higher being’, or any sort of god. I do think though that after you die, you don’t just dissappear. This world is still new to us humans, we don’t know every thing about it. There’s so many (so far) unexplainable things. But the more we ask our selves about them, and the more we look into it, I think we’ll discover that the whole world is just one big ecosystem.
I’ve been big on Steven Hawking’s work, I read a lot of his work and wrote multiple reports on them. (though, my memory being what it is doesn’t exactly help me all that much, so if i get terms wrong, sorry about that I’ll fix em up later, just want to get this down while it’s in my head).
So, our universe is expanding at an increasing rate, from which at one point in time all our galaxies came from. So there was a big bang. But what was before the big bang? Did we all just come from some small infinite density thing? I don’t think so. We’re talking about only our universe now. And who knows if other universes had influence on it then, or have even now.
There’s also the theory that maybe our universe just expands and collapses and keeps doing that, like a bouncy ball. (okay end of that train of thought)
Another thing I think helps with my idea of multiple universes/unkown things, is the n-reactor. (err…) Okay, so I had forgotten the name of the thing, and that made it even harder to search for it… So I just gave up. But what it did, was it produced 2/3’s more power than it needed to run. So out of 3/3, 1/3 was used to run the machine, and 2/3 was just the output power… Man do I wish I remember the name fo the damn thing.
