Good videos. True too, but the scoffers will scoff and they are scoffing right now. Prophecy fulfilled.

Everyone dies, but not everyone truly lives. There is no afterlife to an atheist, just that final end of being a buffet for worms. Our bodies do return to the dust, but i choose to have hope in Jesus. To each his own i suppose.

Not quite, imo. I find solace in three of my favorite Neil DeGrasse Tyson quotes:
"Recognize that the very molecules that make up your body, the atoms that construct the molecules, are traceable to the crucibles that were once the centers of high mass stars that exploded their chemically rich guts into the galaxy, enriching pristine gas clouds with the chemistry of life. So that we are all connected to each other biologically, to the earth chemically and to the rest of the universe atomically. That’s kinda cool! That makes me smile and I actually feel quite large at the end of that. It’s not that we are better than the universe, we are part of the universe. We are in the universe and the universe is in us.”

Neil DeGrass Tyson doesn't necessarily disagree with God here. Man is of the earth, and the earth is of the stars, or of the heavens. Since we live in a world where "God" and "universe" are often used interchangeably, it's easy to see the parallels between modern science and the ancient biblical claim that we are made in God's image. The creation is manifested within the Creator. I would say that we are essentially arguing the same thing, but I acknowledge the lack of scientific vocabulary in roughly 1500 BC at the time of the writing of Genesis.
Also, the increasing possibility of multiple universes, for me, only increases the plausibility of other realms of existence such as heaven or hell.edit on 13-12-2011 by DarkKnight21 because: (no reason given)

There may be a deity, but even a cursory glance at the headlines shows he (if he is supposedly omnipotent and care about us) is a mercurial sadist with a rubric for morality that makes Hitler look like Quaker Boy Scout who rescues kittens from trees.

He also says, everyone is saved by just believing at the 10 minute mark. By just "believing." Believing what exactly? Book of life already has the names listed in it long before most of us were even around.
