You do have to admit though that in comparison your idea looks a bit
silly, don't you? Looking at the two approaches you have one that is based
on unbiased observation and experimentation that only accepts what is
provable as is being true. It also changes what it believes anytime there
is proof it was wrong. On the other hand, you have to accept as completely
true whatever was written in some ancient book, and there isn't just one
book claiming the same origin. Nothing new can be added or corrected. Just
looking at the two makes one look rather foolish by comparison. Just
wondering if you can see that.

Explain the how the universe came to exist and what 95% is made of.

I could explain it for you but since I've just been watching How the
Universe was Made on the Discovery Channel I would recommend it over me.
It tells what man knows about the universe at this time and what
scientists think they are about to find. New instruments and telescopes
are giving more us data and clues into how the universe came to be and
what we know about it. I don't see how anyone can not believe what the
best scientists in the world tell you about the universe rather than
what is written in some book 2000 years ago when man knew nothing about
it. But then I expect people to use their brains to think with and not
their hearts. Silly me. As for what the universe is made of I believe
that the term is "dark matter". But if that isn't true and it turns out
to be something else then that is what scientists will accept as true.
Isn't it great how it changes if new evidence shows it was wrong? Can't
say that about religion. It's perfect as is because it came from God,
right? And you really believe that?

I thought the universe has more Hydrogen than anything else.

One time I was out front of a friend's house watching the stars and
this guy walks out and introduces himself and really soon started off.
"Have you accepted Jesus Christ our Father yada yada" something like
that. I told him he was talking to the wrong person and I'm just out
looking at the sky cause I haven't seen the Milky Way in a decade.
Funny thing was that it was so dark that I never did get to see what
he looked like. He starts up again, so I told him that I've figured it
out for sure that there never was any god(s) and that nothing he has
to say would make me change my mind. And then he asked what the stars
are then. I told him that most of what you see aren't just individual
stars , but huge nebulas full of stars and planets and whole galaxies
that just look like points of light. He was taken aback and blown
away. Maybe some of them never really get curious enough to check it
out. Which I find hard to believe with 1969 and the 21st Century and
all. Never know, I had to beg my mother and never gave up to watch the
landing on the moon, she thought I was silly at 8.
