    ~ I see your "point" but for flint arrowheads the most finely crafted stones are the oldest and usually very small as a known distinction - just as a statement that what is important in any era has been a challenge that man has responded to.

    I fail to see how arrowheads have anything to do with religion. It is also possible that the humans evolved and we have actual proof of it.

    ~ Just that they were perfected, stone version, when most important and yes have evolved to todays version using at some point a progression of text, manufacturing etc. an evolutionary process which likewise should be used to understand God through religion.

    ~ An example: We believe the story of Noah and the Ark was a statement about a parable that explains when God will return to earth and is completely misinterpreted by the bibles scribes and should be rewritten to better understand the true nature of our existence. Using text, as science improved the arrowhead to evolve religion to an absolute truth should be a goal than the misguidance espoused by dogmatist that prevents the truth from replacing their flawed writings.

    Cease to exist upon death.

    What would you do if you found out upon death that your belief that religions are all false was found to be wrong?

    Let's say that the Pastafarians stumbled upon the Truth (capital "T" Truth) accidentally while mocking religion... what would you do?

    I guess most would probably feel the same if scientists were proven wrong on the same subject.

    Its kinda hard to question faith or fact when neither have been full disproven.

    Well if you think so throw away all religious books, don't believe in anything.
    If you are so powerful that you can start a new religion- better start it and see it growing based on sensible things as you think. May all religions, gods bless you.
