From the article "Astronomers say they are on the verge of finding planets like Earth orbiting other stars, a key step in determining if we are alone in the universe."
My question is, if we are not alone in the universe, does that in any way affect your faith or belief in God?
I was watching an online service on Sunday @ liveonline.healingplacechurch.org and the sermon was about humans being the clay and God molding us.
As the Pastor (Reverend) was talking I thought about comparing clay to humans and wondered if by stating we are like clay does that belittle human's freewill?
Does it state that we, as human, have no freewill as clay wouldn't have freewill to chose to be molded?
I am an atheist, however, I believe in the value for those who believe in God existing. I am wondering if that value, through poetic understanding of this religious icon, can be learned in a way Atheists would accept it. This is a new thought I had which I am only recently undertaking, but I thought it might be nice to get other atheist's perspectives on it.
I was home in bed, sick, and I needed something to watch. Having cancelled my cable TV a few years ago, I decided to give Itune movies a try and I found One Week.. It appealed to me as it was the story of one week in Ben Tyler (Joshua Jackson) life. A Toronto man in his mid twenties engaged to be married, just starting out in his career as a teacher and writer. The film starts with him being diagnosed with an aggressive cancer that is in stage 4. With treatment the Doctor gives him a 10% chance of beating it.

Most trinitarians accept that God is three persons, father, son, and holy ghost.
But what can make sure that God consists of three persons? What if he simply hasn't revealed a fourth person to us yet? How do we know that there are exactly three and not two or just one with three "masks"?
There is a new service in Israel that will take your tweets to God and print and then take them to put into the wailing wall.
This raises several questions. Does God hear our tweets? Do you need to keep your prayers to under 140 charactors? Can you use abreviations? Will twitter keep a copy of our prayers/tweets forever? Can I just add #God or #prayertoGod (#ptg for short) to my tweets/prayers?
