Unless your belief structure is wrong, and the Flying Spaghetti Monster condemns you to the hell of the extra-spicy marinara for your heresy.

Since you obviously aren't going to be swayed (I half suspect this whole thread to be a thinly disguised troll), let me ask this question: Why do you think that just because you believe the way you do leads you to paradise and not someone that believes differently? Should a believer that acts in contempt of his fellow man deserve heaven over an unenlightened schmuck that actually helps people?
Okay, but where did the matter and the energy come from in the beginning?

And I believe in my bible and my God because of the evidence on Earth (Oldest tree 4,300 years old. Largest Reef 4,200 years old. Petrafied trees standing between rock layers. Comets. Biblical aging of the earth being 2,300 years from Adam to Jesus plus 2000 years since then.)

The evidence lines up. If someone else believes in a God but does not see the evidence to back it then the evidence he does see should point him somewhere.

And that somewhere is to God.
