Although I'm an atheist, it's good to find a sane (traditional?) Christian here. Cos everyone has gone coo-coo lately with their New Age-isms!

I'm personally far more interested in the Creator Himself, the one true and living God and Father of our Lord Jesus.

The way you say it, it's as though Jesus isn't God! Jesus is God! He (too) created (co-created?) the universe!

As a Christian, I find it rather interesting that the very first animal chosen to be cloned through genetic manipulation was a sheep.

Well, Jesus referred to all of us as sheep, so there!

Those who follow along this path worship creation rather than the Creator, who is by far more amazing than creation itself.

"Therefore that much more in need of a cause," Dawkins would say!

Maybe it's just me, but I tend to think that denying God is very closed-minded.

Not if it's based on evidence and reason. I'm by default very open-minded about probably everything. I could sit down with Hitler and hear his arguments for why certain groups of people should all be eradicated. Plus, I would much rather God existed (as long as he was truly omnibenevolent). I've nothing to gain from his not existing, and probably much to lose (including my soul, potentially?!)

Here is what the Bible tells us about life after death.

That's subject to interpretation (as everything is with the Bible). A theologian once told me that he doesn't believe in heaven and hell, nor souls if they are interpreted as distinct from bodies. Souls and bodies are one singular ever-united entity. He said Jesus would raise us from the dead, there's nowhere we go after we die. It's also true that in the Old Testament (the Jewish testament) there was almost no talk about the afterlife. It's more of a modern obsession. All that talk about souls vs bodies is also a consequence of the dualism we inherited from Plato. Christianity, as it's taught today, is basically Plato's religion.

I subscribed to The Science Asylum. Good find!

It was a well-structured post, easy to read and understand.
