Don’t believe in God? Strap yourself in for this thought experiment

Re: “The truth is, human knowledge has made God superfluous”, Have Your Say, yesterday.

Do you believe in God? Let’s find out, shall we?
Close your eyes and imagine you are flying in a commercial aircraft. Suddenly the aircraft shakes violently, passengers scream, the cabin depressurises, oxygen masks drop and dangle from above. You turn to look outside the window and you see the pilot and co-pilot hanging under parachutes, waving goodbye and throwing you a kiss. Believe me, in this “death and death” situation everyone will be hoping for Big Daddy to intervene.
Yep, there are no atheists in foxholes.
