Which 'god' are they crying out to?
People in their last despeate agonies will often call out for
their mother.
I dontvsee any of this as the least indication that there is a god.
If they cry out for their mother, does that mean their mother doesn't exist either?
It's nice to see you back Min.

If they are crying out for their mother while dying to help or save them, then it's quite possible they are still crying out to a 'god' that they are trusting in, above anything else. A mother can give temporary comfort at the point of death but really, thats it.
The issue is there is no hope... And if you die and go nowhere, why mourn, why care, why have feeling at all.
As far as which god- at this point we are simply trying to establish a god, or creator- in which look around! Do you think I should be able to light a firework and create a complex universe of finely tuned, constructed, organized atoms? Or is our mothers responsible as well? Not to mention someone had to light the firework... Does science suggest we all came from nothing?
Ever thought about the possibility that God put in each of us, a desire to know Him?
A "God shaped" void in each of us, that only God can fill.
Ever thought that people call out to God when they are desperate, because God placed that longing for Him, in each of us?
