When we see a painting, we know there's a painter. A tent? There's gotta be a tent maker. None of this stuff just evolved from nothing. The world (the creation) is much more intricate and complicated. There must be a creator. What do you think.

Creation without a creator is impossible. If evolution is true, there would be people that were semi-monkeys, and other animals that would be in the middle ground between two species. It isn't so. The question: "Why did some of the monkeys stay monkeys and the others all said we are going to keep evolving?" sounds elementary, but it is true. The banana is the perfect fruit -- edible, portable, and with a convenient and easily opened carrying case. This didn't just evolve. God created perfection.

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 disorder and chaos by the effect of 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.

We're always left w/ the mystery of something - god, process, potential, whatever - always existing. That's a mystery. If we say complex beings and results means a complex maker, then we're left with our logic failing: what made the complex being? We're back at the same mystery. Given the way the world is, I don't think a loving creator created it - I think it was made as an act of separation (our bodies epitomize the whole idea of separation -- defense mechanisms, etc.). I think God is real but is beyond all these concepts -- and needs to be directly experienced instead of talked about (e.g. for a zen perspective, read '3 Pillars of Zen').

YOU know, I have been listening to the Atheist's theory (or belief system) and that's O.K. for them to believe that. But we know where it all came from, but if I didn't, it would make more sense to believe that something created all of this, I mean, where did the dirt come from, then, where did the Atom's that made the star's come from. It started some where. There's too much complicated stuff to just happen by itself. And last, JESUS (I am SAVED) seem's to me to be the best Answer for the After Life, then most of the other stuff I have heard, if I wasn't SAVED. Oh well, to each his own. Ditto.

I agree with you 'cause when you look to the sky during the sunset you will know the truth that there is a great creator and heis alone and he has no son no father no sister no brother cause if he had a son that means that he can have children and having testis means that he needs food to eat and needing food means that he should look for food to eat and that means that he is not a god well its wrong aint it so what the christians say that jesus is the son of the god is wrong and ofcourse they dont mean that the god adopted jesus . look i'm a muslim and i do believe in jesus and mohammed and david and all the prophets but when you say that the god has a child it doesnt make any sense and about 3 bllion muslim agree with me ..........
