Nuggets from Cosmos, Creator, and Human Destiny

Christopher Hitchens [now deceased], would through death soon face the Creator whom he repeatedly maligned, assured us, “When you’re dead, you won’t know it, and you won’t feel it.” This is the nihilism underlying the thinking of Dawkins and of all atheists. Oblivion upon death is the atheist’s great hope. What if it turns out that Hitchens was dead wrong, that no one can escape judgment after this life on Earth is finished and atheists lose Pascal’s wager? All of the evidence, as we shall see, is on the side of those who believe that death doesn’t end it all, but that the nonphysical thinker who, unlike his body, is not subject to the laws of thermodynamics, survives death. That possibility should be worth some serious consideration.
