Religion

[East Level 2]

According to scientists, in around 80 million years, our planet and the solar system is going to disappear. Well considering he/it/she is lauded as being omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent he/it/she must have planned the event. If, however, it was a cock up, then perhaps he/it/she might wish to take a couple of extra days when building the next project.

A cock up by our creator? That's blasphemy surely, even if you didn't say "Jehovah".

Well, I don't know the details of what Muslims believe to be holy writ, but on that basis neither the King James nor the New Jerusalem are the Bible. You raise the interesting and thorny question of the validity of translation of the scriptures (any scriptures, from any religion). It was debated for centuries.

Mithra was a Persian god whose influence spread through the Roman empire. It predates Christianity and some of its legends are similar.

It's because there have been multiple religions since the beginning of time, all with their gods, some supposedly greater than the gods worshipped by their enemies. As tribes or nations fought, the victor's would claim their god to be greater than the conquered peoples gods and so on. It still goes on today.
