Well, the Genesis story doesn't hold much weight in any scientific community. There is no evidence for the flood. It is certainly not scientifically feasible to create a man from dirt and then a woman from his rib. There is also no evidence that Egyptians ever had Hebrew slaves. I could go on but I think the point is made.
Also of the fear of obliteration, most people I talk to find that very scary! Many want to think that they will continue to exist, in an after life, and that they will say deceased loved ones, etc, again. Of the people I talk to the greatest fear many have is death without an after life. I mean if it does happen that way it clearly wouldn't matter after one has been obliterated because he or she wouldn't be around to "feel" any type of thing, but that can still be a scary thought.
Things about nature not being designed: I am admittedly no expert, but according to physics/biology as we understand it today, most life today has come into being as a result of random mutations taking place in various molecules. Eventually complex organisms with genetic material were formed over billions of years and here we stand today. There is certainly much more to it, but generally a theory of random yet favorable mutations which create organisms capable of surviving to continue to reproduce can explain how we are here without a designer.
Finally, as I said before I'm simply a beginning grad student and I can't explain all of life's mysteries. I am going to be a research scientist so that I can do my own investigations into finding out how the world works. I don't claim to know everything about the universe and the life that inhabits it, but I like to keep learning more from ways that can be proven through science. I like to be able to prove what I know and I can't take a mystic answer for anything. I admit that there are many things I don't know, and I will spend the rest of my life trying to learn what I can.

When those been created were you a witness?
There is no evidence for the flood
Is there any scientific proof that there was no flood! As a world wide accepted fact? There is no evidence of the soon death of yours but no evidence doesn't prove it will not happen/or didn't happen...
Knives, you a wanna be scientist and be in their community idiot. Did any scientist prove what happens in an afterlife or is just a lights out? Is that possible to extract Einsten from the places he abides since 1955?
A theory of random yet favorable mutations.
That's really interesting. Einstein is a random yet favorable molecule mutation and so is Ms. America either. Hitler is not that successful molecule mutation right? Though it doesn't say anything what happens in an afterlife and a myraid of other questions.
Now a question for you a wanna be scientist. I don't care for how much universes there are nor how big they are.
When the scientists make the man live forever? And since you're going to be a research scientist and unveil all life's mysteries as you say, please find out where does Hitler abide exactly hell or paradise? I can't fall asleep as the scientists do not give answer. Ok clown?
I highly recomend you to read "the IDIOT" by Dostoevskiy
