You acknowledge God's creation. That's good.
The Bible is an integrated message system, penned by forty people over 2000 years. It originated outside our time domain. The Bible is easily proven by science, archeology, historical events, eyewitnesses, nano-technology, quantum physics, astronomy - to name a few.
Above all, hundreds of its prophecies have come true. Many more are about to be fulfilled. From Genesis to Revelation - the Scriptures are God-breathed. In Genesis 5, the coming of Jesus Christ is foretold. In fact, if one looks carefully, Jesus can be found on every page in the Old Testament. To find it, one must read the Scriptures, and not take Globo's or anyone else's word for it. Prudence.
Read the Bible - and understanding will follow.
Eternity exist. Our soul/mind/consciousness, whatever you choose to call it, is the software that operates the hardware, our body. Software does not have mass. Take an empty DVD. Weigh it. It is 0.5644 oz. Load it with 4 GB of powerful data, or even 2,200 e-books. Weigh it again. It's still 0.5644 oz.
Time is a property of mass. No mass means timeless, or eternal.
The software is outside our time domain. It can be transmitted through the airwaves. It is timeless.
It is not a question of whether eternity exists but where we will spend it.
It has always been man's choice which God or gods to follow. Many Muslims come to Christ. They make a choice. Many atheists do. I grew up an atheist. I made my choice later in life despite my circumstance.
I hope and pray that your eyes, too, will be opened.

I acknowledge it only as a rhetoric tool to counter your claim of god as a gentleman. Why don't you counter my points? Maybe because you can't dispute the logic of my repartee?
Yes, there is a bible, and this can be proven by science. Most of its contents however cannot.
Above all, those prophecies you speak of might be considered by some to have come true but I would argue that information bias plays the biggest part in that.
I can write a chapter tomorrow predicting something that happens in some later chapter. I can claim it was god-breathed into my spirit and than write the later chapter to confirm my prediction. This is not proof of anything.
The more I read the Bible, the more I understand it is a work of fiction.
That consciousness doesn't have mass isn't proof of god or a creator. The mind-hive doesn't have mass yet it shows more complexity than say a single ant could ever do on its own. This property is called "emergence" and it does not require a creator.
"The software is outside our time domain. It can be transmitted through the airwaves. It is timeless." This is a nonsense statement. Very Deepak Chopra-esque! It sounds fun, but doesn't say anything.
There is only this moment. Eternity is just a word. Before birth or after death a person does not have the senses needed to measure time.
Of course, it is your personal choice and I respect that.
You may pray for me if you wish. It'll have no effect other than to give the one that prays a false sense of accomplishment. It's a form of meditation really.
I wish you all the best.
