Sure glad you know you've devoted yourself to the right god. Otherwise, what punishment will you face?

As opposed to god, which you will say has always existed. If that's the case, why can't the universe have always existed?
But that's not what the Big Bang theory says, anyway.

Yet the straight forward answer to the riddle is in the bible on the first page!

Where you'll find two contradictory answers, which is hardly straightforward, and which doesn't inspire confidence in the veracity of either one.
Regarding an afterlife: If it's the Christian one with a heaven and a hell, what will your existence for the rest of eternity be like if you know that some people you loved in this life are now suffering endlessly (as infinite punishment for their finite "crimes")? Wouldn't that be a rather imperfect heaven?
