Feel free. Coming from the likes of you, I consider that to be a

Wow. You couldn't be more wrong. I grew up in a household that was
practically religion-free. I was taught from an early age to use
reason and science in examining the world.
As for why I post to alt.atheism? I enjoy a good debate and like to
keep track of the actions of extremist theists.
Stop making assumptions about entire groups. Go read Matthew 7:1 for
further instruction.

Actually, there are an infinite number of possible alternatives.
The likelihood of any one alternative being correct is thus
infinitesimally small, just like buying a ticket to a lottery
where infinitely many tickets have been sold. The ticket
is not even worth the effort to pick up if found free on the
sidewalk.
