Oops, I kind of messed up the 2nd option. It should have been something like, "I'm fairly certain there is a God" but ends up reading like the agnostic option. Can't seem to edit it.

don't worry about it, it'll be locked before tea time. :)
I think that these questions can all be reliably answered by a new meditation technique which I was introduced to by two Tibetan Monks called Tee-fertoo & Too-fertee. They wear a womens bra on their heads and close their eyes for twenty seconds, when they open them again, they can see !
They have many videos on You-tube demonstrating many miracles, and they not only prove God exists, but can show you his house, over a chipshop in Leeds.
Every time I read that the oldest person in the world has died, I have to do a quick check to see it isn't ME..........

I think you're confusing these monks with the WoS moderators, Lee admitted as much in the pub the other night. Apparently, there's a bizarre ritual where they sacrifice a Dragon 32, chant Z80 opcodes and recite passages from the original Spectrum manual.
In fact, a recent disagreement between two high priests over how to chant undocumented opcodes led to a bit of friction the other day, which ended in accusations of heresy, threads mysteriously disappearing and a couple of members leaving to form their own breakaway faction. Thankfully, the conspirators covered everything up and hardly anybody was burnt at the stake.
Well one thing I always wondered is what is the centre of conciousness. What I mean by this is what is it that's receiving the images, sound, smell, touch and from this provokes emotion, and response be it an external one, or simply a train of thought.
You see I believe the brain is a store of data that and many of our emotions and impulses are formed by associations between the data. And that some of this data and its associations were formed from a very young age, possibly even in the foetal stages of development. For example, for many babies and young children rocking will send them to sleep. This is because when you were in the womb, your mum frequently walked about. Therefore being rocked takes a baby or young child back to that experience and is comforting as is a playing a recording of a heat beat. But then why someone likes say Rock, but hates the clean bleepy bloopy sound of electronica or visa versa is something I'm not sure about. My dad loved Led Zep and the Blues Breakers and played it lots when I was little. However, I could not say I'm in to that style of Rock now or ever. So what made me not like it? They were halcyon days, so surely by association I should find this music conforting, but I don't. I like music that would make my dad cringe, geeky synth based music from the late 60's and 70's.
However, I do not believe its just that, genetics plays some part in what we like and dislike, but then even identical twins are not guaranteed to like the same things. So that makes me think, ether there is some mild randomness to the mental associations we see as good or interesting early on, or there is some underlying spirit which drives our mind and body.
I've even considered the possibility that our spirit is not one thing, i.e. it is the culmination of primary forces each of different strengths.
Basically I don't know what to believe, but I do not think (well I really hope so) death is the end.

i hope its a public poll, that would be the icing on the cake.
EDIT: Wait I am neither a geek or a nerd so I can't take part in this thread.

Will it get that bad?

How do I embed a youtube video?
I provided it for people of principle.
Hold on... you not only have a Spectrum, you can give advice how to make it work in NTSC land, and you're *not* a geek :-) I see....

Erm...my brother was using my login??
The same result can be attained by simply wearing a bra under your normal clothes, and when questioned about it - pretend that it's a steering wheel.

Ha ha i was thinking the same thing. Lets have a thread about politics next ! ;)
.....and Graz! Sod off! It IS a steering wheel! :p

Or maybe heard of something called 'quantum mechanics'?

If you believe that Aliens might have seeded humans on the planet, then that is independent of if you believe in a supernatural God (or Gods) or not.
I'm fairly agnostic to the Alien Seeding thing. I don't view it as a high probability given the fossil records but it is possible.
Quantum mechanics is weird, but it can be studied therefore whilst unintuitive, it seems to me that it is natural.
