That is all very possible, and I accept that it will most likely happen that way. That is the burden of wisdom (there is a quote from some philosopher who said something along those lines, but I can't recall it).

By the way, that deism link was interesting. I still have some differences with it, though. If I did believe in a God, my concept of it would be so totally different, it wouldn't jive. I don't really feel like explaining the thoughts I've hade on 'if God exists,' but maybe I'll start a new topic sometime.
