Leaving aside the ever popular if logically dubious "lots of people believe in God" existence "proof", your arithmetic has some problems. Tallying up those trillions of souls would seem to be problematic even in theory unless you extend beyond the human domain, which will leave you with other problems to reconcile. math.hawaii.edu spiritone.com Note that those calculations assume a somewhat longer human history than the biblically correct 10k years or so, too.

ROFL I am not denying it. I simply can't see it, and have no proof it exists. What I feel I am is not a corporeal body with an immortal soul. I "feel" the "I" that is the individual me, if there is such a thing, is a very intelligent, very capable animal that has self knowledge, and is bounded by the finite lifespan of a corporeal body. I'm not even sure I can prove that, though. But I'm not pissed off about anything. Perhaps your post opines about other pissy people? I am sure you don't mean to falsely imply that I am pissed off? I would hate to think you would knowingly print falsities. I prefer to imagine most of your falsies (or falsities, if you prefer) are just the result of ignorance and sloppy reasoning. I would be interested to know how your reasoning got so sloppy. Care to 'splain? PS- Billions of people can all be wrong and frequently are. My GOODNESS the number of silly things billions of people have believed is just astronomical. If you cannot think of any of these silly things Solon will be able to help you- because he has mentioned some of them before. Sadly people have lemming-like tendencies when it comes to ideas, even (or especially) stupid ideas.
