Willful ignorance of evidence that proves otherswise. I'm sorry, but the idea that God created the world in 7 days, regardless of whether or not you interpret 1 year as 1000 years as Harold Camping does -.- it is physically impossible within the laws of physics and chemistry to create a landmass the size of the earth out of nothing. It defies all laws of science, matter cannot be created or destroyed.
Whilst we do not know where this energy came from to create bonds between chemicals and atoms to create matter. Whilst the Big bang has flaws, there is scientific evidence to back up the formation of matter, and The big bang theory is just that. A theory. It is not accepted as fact and scientists continue to try and prove its occurence in order to explain the origin of matter.
Willful ignorance in the belief that there is an almighty being that has to create this on the other hand is simple stupid and can almost be considered insane. I don't know whether or not you draw some kind of satisfaction that there is a 'greater being' that guides your lives because you are worried about what happens in the 'afterlife', but belief in something that has absolutely NO basis in fact is.....well....it defies explanation. The idea that you have to believe in a tolerant, benign, loving god to gain entrance into heaven completely contradicts the idea of that same benevolent God! If he is so loving and Jesus died for our sins, then he will allow you entrance to heaven regardless of whether you have atoned or not!
I do not deny that there is a historical figure called Jesus, but the idea that he is a divine being is a bit too far. Belief in God lacks proof and is simply a way of providing comfort that you do not simply die. Hate to break it to you.....but that's what happens. These spiritual visions people have when they die and come back to life cannot be explained by science because we simply do not know enough about the nervous system and how the brain works. Whether it is the lack of bloodflow to the brain, lack of oxygen, nerve systems playing tricks, we don't know and we do not SURMISE. We simply leave it as an unexplained occurance. But attributing them to a divine being because you 'believe God was with you' is simply arguing a case without any evidence!
When writing a thesis for a university degree, an essay for school or another work, you always need to provide evidence for your arguments. You cannot simply state something and have it unanimously accepted without proof. You cannot state it in the first place!
Im sorry, but implying the idea that there is a creator without any proof is invalid.
