Well if everyone discovers that there isn't a God, their brains won't be functioning at that point, and they'll cease to exist. So will we even be able to think to ourselves, hey, there's no God after all?
The cool thing about all this is the questions it raises. Like was our world/universe/matter created? Or did it simply always exist?
If you think of matter relative to our human concept of time, it's hard to fathom matter always existing. Because to us, everything has a beginning and an end, a notion that comes from our concept of time.
But our concept of time may be limited to the fact that we can't travel faster than the speed of light. Imagine this: you're looking at a clock, it says 8:00 pm. The reason you see that it's 8:00 pm is because the light shining from the face of the clock travels the space between the clock and your eye, reaching your eye basically instantaneously. But now imagine that you're moving away from the clock at the speed of light. What does the clock read? The image of 8:00 pm would be traveling at the same speed as you, so from your vantage point, it would appear to be stuck on 8:00 pm until you slowed down.
That's Einstein's theory of relativity in a nutshell. Time and space are relative to your velocity as you approach the speed of light.
Isn't it possible that our definition of "time" is too limited to define a beginning to our world/universe? With so many objects moving at such vastly different speeds through space, each object would have it's own sense of time.
