Atheistic Optimism

So, Let's assume for arguement that there is no God.

Many theists would feel sorry for us because that in their eyes precludes a vision of the hereafter, and that may be sad. Not neccessarily true. But in their eyes, sad.

But take heart!

Let us assume that through no divine intervention, masses of gasses and masses of atoms swirled and whirled through a black void and became the universe we know today. Science tells us eventually these things will all blow up and scatter again becoming masses and masses of atoms and gases once more. And again they will coalesce. And again they will blow up.

Now on an infinite timeline this will take forever, but eventually it will all be as it was once more and we will find ourselves in the same exact positions we are in today. And with large gaps in between this will happen indefinitely.

So, death is not an end, but a waiting period because we were here before, we will be here once more.

Bad de ja vu?
