se with your characterization of my worldview as absurd mythology. Certainly many of the greatest minds in history have held to the same view.

From my point of view, the idea that there is no god, but that the universe has just always existed and always will continue to exist as some sort of ginormous perpetual motion machine... and that all existence is just a meaningless random rearrangement of matter is the absurd theory.

But I realize we'll just have to agree to disagree on that for now.
