I actually read your whole response and I feel sorry for your misguided belief. I think that the human evolution did happen and it has been proven again and again, but I never saw the proof for god’s existence. The only people who are trying to discredit the evolution theory are religious fanatics who know that if people stop believing in god, they will be out of a paycheck. And yes I believe that religion today is a business and a very profitable at that and a way of gaining power.


I am of Jewish decent but as you might guess I do not practice it. I see it daily as “Religious” people put a price tag on services the bible clearly show the to be as good deeds and only if you wish you can donate money to that person. Look at what is happening in the world the Muslims are using religion to justify suicide bombings and starting wars. And don’t get me started on Christianity just open the TV and put any channel that have those preachers all that I hear is send me your money and I will give you this book or artifact. Those shows sound to me like infomercials and not a religious ceremony as they suppose to be. Then you see them live in a multi million mansions driving expensive cars. Where do you think they get that money? Well I have a news flash; all that money that you are sending them that supposedly is going to charities is going into their pocket. And then when they are caught, they give that famous speech “I’m only human and I have sinned” and like magic every thing is forgotten and they are back in the business.


So as you might have guessed I do not believe that an omnipotent god does exist and therefore that stone cannot exist and if an omnipotent god did exist then this riddle is a true paradox.


On the bright side I did read the bible several times and I think that it is an excellent fictional/historical book that can teach us a lot of good things and if we all followed some of it’s teachings, the world would be a much better place to live.
