Myles, Perth

I have never been afraid of the dark from about 12 years old onwards.
I don't live in a cave and therefore I am not afraid of what lies beyond my cave in the dark.
Perhaps it could be put in another way.
To believe in Gods one must worry about all the unknowns in life, I just don't.
Maybe I am just another human being who is not in control, an apathetic person just accepting my fate
whatever comes my way.
My brain works on facts, I dream when I sleep, but I don't dream awake.
Such wondering where humanity comes from doesn't hold any wonder  for me.
We all started from atoms of hydrogen drawn together in space under gravity, forming a proto star.
It ignited, burn't with fusion and broke up to form a disk, which in turn broke up to form planets.
I accept this version, and natural selection.
To attribute this to "Divine Intervention" is truly ridiculous.
Looney tunes, I am surrounded by god believers.
But I am happy, just being human.

an avid Radio Amateur, has even talked to Space Shuttles direct.

Welcome to There Probably Isn't ...! We need your stories. We're not after preachers, proselytisers or people prone to peppering their prose* with the words "Hallelujah!", "Let me bless you with this anointed oil!" or "I'll pray for you". We want ordinary people to contribute their real stories of how, why when they became unbelievers. 500 words to tell us a little about yourself and a little about why you disbelieve in gods or goddesses would be lovely.

Please submit your story today!
