Do believe in God and y?

Answer 1

I believe in God.

Answer 2

Suppose you're walking alone in the desert. Nothing around you but sand and sky.

Then after a bunch of walking, and finding nothing significant, you come across a watch. A pocket watch. It tells time, and after a while, you start to understand how it works, and the system behind it to tell time.

Now, what is a more intelligent deduction? That the watch appeared randomly out of nowhere? Or that the intricate system was created by something, somewhere?

That is a very difficult (though very loose) argument in favor of some sort of creator.

Other than that, yeah, I tend to like alot of the stories and ideas in the Bible. But I have to admit, that is handed-down knowledge from my family, that I believe because I was told to.

But I have a mind of my own, I ask questions, I think things through for myself, and while I'm far from any certain conclusions, I like the person I can be from believing in God. Belief also offers an inner strength that non-believers rarely access.

But like I said. I try to keep an open mind, and give everyone the chance to figure things out for themselves.

There are countless reasons, as you will soon discover. There are also countless morons; zealots on both sides of the argument - as you will also learn shortly. :)

Answer 3

Take a look at the amazing universe all around you - The galaxies, stars and planets... the beauty of mountains and trees and everything that lives, grows and breathes on the Earth. No sane person believes that the great complexity of the natural universe in general and living organisms in particular could just exist fully formed with no cause and no origin.

So, how can any sane person possibly believe that all this amazing complexity is sourced in an intelligent designer who just exists fully formed with no cause and no origin? That would be completely absurd. The only possible explanation is that the universe had a natural origin, and that the order and complexity we observe in the universe has arisen over billions of years from simplicity and chaos by the action of slow, unthinking, undirected natural processes. Science, in the form of cosmology and biology, shows us that this is indeed the case.

The idea of a creator god has no explanatory value - It is intellectual laziness, a non-answer, not a solution to the question of existence but a way of avoiding the question. It should and will be consigned to history along with all our other naive superstitious beliefs.

Answer 4

Here are some verses from the Qur'an that will make you ponder:

Chapter: Al-Waqiah
68. Tell Me! The water that you drink.
69. Is it you who cause it from the rainclouds to come down, or are We the Causer of it to come down?
70. If We willed, We verily could make it salt (and undrinkable), why then do you not give thanks (to Allâh)?
71. Tell Me! The fire which you kindle,
72. Is it you who made the tree thereof to grow, or are We the Grower?
73. We have made it a Reminder (for the Hell-fire, in the Hereafter); and an article of use for the travellers (and all the others, in this world).
74. Then glorify with praises the Name of your Lord, the Most Great.


Yes. The likelihood that this world came to existence from nothing is as if you were travelling in the desert and found a beautifully and most intricately constructed building. When you inquire as to who built this building, you would be told that the sand somehow, coincidentally formed and built it over a period of millions or even billions of years. Likely? I think not.

Answer 5

yes i do. On October 26th 2001 i was in a car accident and laid on the side of the road half the night. I woke up 2 months later to find out what had happened and what the Lord saved me from. There was no other way i could have possibly lived without his hand touching me. I was given blood before i could be transported to the hospital that could handle the extent of my injuries. I had bruised my brain broke my back ripped my liver punctured my lung and many other injuries. It was a wake up call to let my know that God is watching over me and can still heal the wounded. And all of the prophesy in the bible as much as the evolutionist hate to admit it is coming true every day

Answer 6

Yes, I believe in God. I've had a close relationship with Him all my life. He has pulled me through many near-death experiences, and still has me here doing things to share his undying love. Many Christians are stuck in the foundation. The foundation is necessary, but if you never build above the foundation, what will you have to shield you from the coming storms? Learn the Word, get your foundation, then release your hold on the laws presented and follow the Holy Spirit. Start building your spiritual home.

Answer 7

I do because I want to believe there's a better place than the world we live in now, and that there is a ultimate reason that we all have to go through the hardships and lessons that we do. I'd like to believe that it's not all for nothing, and that there's someone looking over us with an ultimate plan for our lives who is always on our side. I don't go to church or anything.

Answer 8

No.
There's plenty of beauty in the physical laws and processes that are the basis of our world, our solar system, our galaxy, and our universe, without the need for an all-powerful creator or a god that keeps things running. There's wondrous beauty in the process of evolution that gave life a foothold on this planet and resulted in us. I don't have any need to believe in some made-up being, and a heavenly reward or punishment of hell after I die -- living my life and enjoying the beauty of the natural universe is enough for me.

Answer 9

If one can look at the sky, the birds, a rainbow or just study how one's body even works you would have to believe there was someone superior who created all this. Thus God is the only answer.

Answer 10

YES, how can you look around the earth and not believe that something greater then you created it? Yes I know you can break it all down scientifically, but don't you think god would make everything in working order, so didn't he really make science as well??
