    Nothing like an unloaded question clearly not looking to spark a flamefest...ugh. I would argue that it's impossible to know whether or not God is there. An absence of proof is not proof of absence; this goes for both sides of the argument. For all we know, God plans for everyone to die off and never actually come to know her. Conversely, God might be a made-up construct by the human mind, in which case people already do know God by knowing themselves. But in the event that we are dying off from...whatever...and somehow in our moment of destruction we realize there is no God in the traditional sense, I don't think it's really going to matter much because we're all about to die, anyway.

    Turn back to the Goddess. It worked for me.

    (And I don't think we're ever going to die off. I don't think that humans will be around forever - but I do think that eventually they will either migrate to other planets - after we've sapped all the resources from this one - or they will evolve into the next better - or worse - species.)

    God took a vacation about 18 billion years ago, when he was done setting up the rules for the universe to continue under after he let go of the Big Bang. God might've looked in now and then, but his job was done when he created the universe. After that, its up to whatever sentient life evolves to figure out what to do when the s**t hits the fan.

    For those who don't believe, it will be business as usual. For the believers, they will believe it is his will and they will die with their faith intact.

    Your whole question is based on the assumption that God isn't there or won't be there which makes this a non-essential question because it tries to eliminate any possibility of a contrary view.
