Not at all. I "know" what will happen, and doesn't worry me at all.
I have been thinking about why those threads annoy me, and it's really based around frustration, either with my inability to explain my basis of thought or, for those on the opposing side of the arguments unwilling to give any ground at all. We're slipping back into the argument here, which I wanted to avoid, but it seems to me (and is of course purely my opinion) that in both the god/conspiracy arguments, the people supporting the concepts seem to "want" to believe, so that all their views are always skewed one way rather than looking at the subjects objectively. Naturally those people will disagree with that, and probably accuse me of precisely the same, which is fair enough.
Thats a pretty good way of explaining it I reckon. Richard Dawkins wrote a very good book on this, and its frustrating trying to summarise whole paragraphs of that into pithy message board arguments. Ultimately its all pointless anyway.
