Apparently not fine tuned enough for everlasting life, all things perish,decay, all things pass away. So only Buddha consciousness would be the eternal? Gets very interesting, you must admit, things can be believed in the mind that are untrue & still be beneficial, that is one school of thought called Fallibilism, we see this all the time in human history with all the many religions, people that grew up watching Walt Disney affected by reading fairytales, folklore & heroic stories. en.wikipedia.org Or Christianity, the religion of empire where we each soul attempt that same mimicry in nature, to be like him is to be eternal,protected from demons & satan, hence the robes, the renunciation, vows, ritual blood drinking & body eating etc. The mind needs these outward rituals that are grounded in the outward material, always, says much, that it is still brain/body connected. Then to have that perfect socialist "City of Light" Utopia appear here on earth, each unto each's needs & abilities, as imagined in that mind of God ;o) Much like a clam & its protective shell, an imagined spiritual body armor, so to speak.

"you can look at a book and deduce there was a writer even though you can't see the writer." Or a spider's web--a spider. A bird's nest--a bird. And what is it that an invisible and imagined being writes and how do you know this? Are you talking about the bible? Because that was written by an odd assortment of men as a tribal myth/history. We know where every single piece of "handiwork" comes from. Octopus pee comes from an octopus. It eats--it pees. Without the sun all "handiwork" would (and will) come to an end. Do you call the sun, "god"? Because the sun is surely the most widely touted and revered god since human consciousness first evolved. Congratulations! And in case you were thinking of a crow or some other god--forget it. When the sun is gone....ALL YOUR GODS WILL BE GONE. Because nothing exists in our Solar System without the sun! Not Allah and Not Jehovah! All "handiwork" depends on the sun for existence.
